GK - Luthra not yet played in league CB - Phillips - not yet played DM - Ozoh - promising DM - Ebou - getting fit CM - Kenzo - needs to strengthen himself CM - Osborn - excellent if can keep fit AM - Chirewa - lively, good skills in 45 minutes of football LW - Harness - not yet played ST - Yates- not had any service in the few minutes he's been on the pitch RW - Jackson - swift and more productive than expected. I think he's going to be good. Ask us again when they've all played 10 games. Eoghan1884, r_wilcockson, Sparkle and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. - Hourahan CM - Osborn M. - Sibley AM - Chirewa M. - Fornah LW - Harness F. - Waghorn ST - Yates F. - TJJ RW - Jackson F. - Gayle Overall Rating - 11 out and 11 in, overall the age has come down and it looks like more energy with more availability with the forward players. A good window with the budget we had compared with some of the other clubs in the champ who had more to spend. angieram and Bessie1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 JWZ - 7 hoping he’ll turn out as good as they say, just hope we didn’t spuff most of our budget on an average GK Phillips 8 good deadline day deal Ozoh 6/7 looked ok so far hopefully grows into it Adams 7 Kenzo 7 same as Ozoh Osborn 8 if he can stay fit our signing of summer chirewa 7 hopefully can step up and produce in first team football Harness 7 decent signing Yates 7 looked lost at Watford but if can get him the ball I think he’ll be a good signing Jackson 8 works hard decent on the ball, good signing Eoghan1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottingram Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 GK - JWZ 8 - I guess? Obviously not seen much of him but very good pedigree GK - Luthra 6 - Doubt he’ll ever play just cheap cover CB - Phillips 9 - Very good signing, probably not as good as he seemed when he had a run in Liverpools team and did really well but should be a top Championship defender DM - Ozoh 7 - Very good on the ball, not very good off it (so far). Not a lone defensive midfielder in my opinion, certainly not in a non ball dominant team DM - Ebou 7 - Slightly shaky start but we know what he can do CM - Kenzo 7 - Like the idea and have seen good flashes CM - Osborn 8 - Happy with him so far, has a lot of bite but also technically sound. Got a feeling he may need to move to LB / LWB to give the midfield a touch more balance AM - Chirewa 6 - Fine, not sure if Harness makes him surplus to requirements already? Both seem like similar types? LW - Harness 7 - Always liked him as a player ST - Yates 7 - Maybe not the striker we needed but a good player. Hopefully as he settles our style of play evolves into the few games of Dwight Gayle football last year rather than lumping it over his head. RW - Jackson 7 - Wasn’t sold on it but pleasantly surprised so far, hope we don’t feel the need to play him up front too often. Overall Rating - 7 - In the context of having so much to do and not much to do it with I think it’s a good window but shows the pitfalls of the “don’t worry about the league above until you’re actually there” argument. Bit of a concern up front but we’ll have to make do, and I still don’t think I could tell you what our best system is, probably a 3421 now but I’d have concerns over who plays in a midfield 2.

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 GK - JWZ - 8 although as with all the signings, it's early days so really the rating is on "the deal" rather than what they've done for us so far. GK - Luthra - 6 CB - Phillips - 9 Liverpool fans are saying he's a great signing for us. DM - Ozoh - 7 seems a good loan DM - Ebou - 8 the man we wanted CM - Kenzo - 7 if he figures out english football he'll be good CM - Osborn - 3 you can take the player out of forest.....(only kidding, probs a 7) AM - Chirewa - 5 meh, see how this loan pans out LW - Harness - 6 meh, see how this loan turns out ST - Yates - 6 my Swansea mate says he couldn't hit a barn door and when the team wasn't playing to suit him he gave up a bit. RW - Jackson - 8 (would've been 7 but goals) Seems a right up Warne's street style of signing. Overall 7 - I don't think we've done any bad deals, we've mostly brought in players who are probably going to be capable of the championship but I can't escape the nagging feeling we really needed a quality striker to make the team work, and as good a servant as James Collins has been, the bloke is the definition of "career League 1 striker" Overall Rating - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) 2 hours ago, angieram said: Ask us again when they've all played 10 games. Agreed. Eg - Keeper let's be honest hasn't been that great so far but I think he will be. Ozoh looked awesome then half asleep defensively. Jackson I wasn't sold on.... yet possibly has looked the most exciting so far. On paper I'm scoring it as 8.5 but couldn't say anything more until we see them play. Remember Premier League Captain material Sonny Bradley and how he was received, and then performed til Xmas. Edited August 31 by Chester40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddielewis Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Being a bit of a rebel and switching up this rating/review system since you can't review the new players just yet and you have to give Zetterstrom and Goudmijn even more time. I think reviewing our overall transfer window after a good sleep on it I can give it a C+ grade or 7 out of 10. It obviously been hard for internal and external reasons but I do think the main thing for fans to consider we are still a club in recovery. I believe it will take us another 2-3 seasons depending on if we were to be relegated from the championship again for us to fully shake off this but I do believe though that we have a squad more than capable of surviving in the championship which is the only real goal this season. I believe this has been a massively difficult transfer window and for pretty much every club to navigate. In a weird way the transfer window is evolving into an American sports way of doing business. The bogyman of PSR/FFP has truly hit the Premier League where clubs were trying to do swap deals in June/July in order to not be hit with any sanctions and cook each others books. Players like Kellyman, Osula and Dobbin would have never moved for the fees they have gone for a couple of years ago... and even probably would have never moved clubs too be honest. The Sterling/Sancho loan deals last night also feel like the NBA/NFL where teams eat some salary in order to move a player on. This restriction of finances has impacted the transfer food chain along with what seems a decrease in young players going on loan from Premier League teams especially those playing in Europe as they need a bigger squad in case of injuries. Through this the 'english' tax has gone even further up on players. I like how we've started to sign foreign players with Zetterstom and Goudmijn and It will take them a good season or so to settle fully. It's seems we could have had another 2 more with Thordarson (Preston) and Willumson (Birmingham). Yesterday's deals will improve us it's just that slight frustration of taking a chance on a number 9 but obviously proven goalscorers cost serious money even foreign players who might even had just a small sample size. I do believe that possession based football has created a number 9 shortage. Unless we are struggling with Yates I don't think there's too much desperation to warrant signing a free agent like Gayle again. It now on Warne to manage/coach these new players and for us to cheer them on starting from today. backheel clearance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Luthra might turn out to be great. Many keepers have struggled to begin with. The coaching staff obviously saw enough to encourage them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
