Stevosevic Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Hernandez, Musa, Slimani all likely to be Walsh signings (even though two joined after he left but we were linked in January and previous) Maybe SW had lost his touch... No idea who recommended Kapustka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very impressive I must say. This window is so key for us. Claudio and the scouting team have to get it right Slimani and Mendy?!? Benalouane was summer 2016. i think Mendy has played well since coming back from being injured, and Slimani has been alright. This window seems to have started well with N'Didi. By the way, not posted on here for ages because we always lose when I post so get your money on Southampton this Sunday.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea who recommended Kapustka Do you really think all these and last signings are all down to Walsh? Do you not realise we have a global network of scouts and the recommendations that come from those reports are assessed by a number of internal sources including scouts chief scout management coaches and DOF. All this ...he's a Walsh signing is total rubbish. The chances of a player being found by Walsh and scouted by him and recommended to the manager are Zero. It does not work like that just because signings were made while he was here does not mean he recommends everyone of them it's a decision reached between a big number of people and the manager then tells them who he wants and the club then try's to bring in the player. Yes he may have been in charge of the scouts but it don't mean he found all the players or even recommended them. One or two yes but not every one!

HybridFox Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 He's a strange one. Underwhelming to say the least but to be gone this early in the season from a four-year deal is questionable. But hey ho, he was a free transfer, We've made a profit $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I just meant Claudio's signings so far who have not worked out and oddly not really been given a chance to either. Slimani I have a lot of faith in and Mendy will be decent I think N'didi does look great and exactly what we needed for that position. We need to seriously get some bids in though, as we need arguably 2 CB's, 1 RB, a no.10 and a striker if Ulloa goes. Think we may just end up with 1 RB and 1 CB though at this rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All recommendations of players from scouts would have gone in to SW before he would then assess himself. We know this is how SW worked with his team and analytics guys. Responsibility falls with the head of recruitment and the manager but we know NP and CR relied heavily on SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. all recommendations were not watched by Walsh that would be impossible Do you actually know how many dossiers of players we have who are recommended by our scouts every season? literally hundreds. It would have been physically impossible for SW to watch them all. And new players were brought in to the club without him watching. Sometimes it was on the management say so if a player was identified by the management team or a player became available that the manager wanted. You really think you would have this senerio? Np.... I've had a call so and so is available and I want him we need to move fast. SW sorry NP I've not watched him yet so I don't give you the go ahead! Behave!

Tuna Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 He was absolute rubbish, nowhere near good enough for the calibre of the premier league, let alone the reigning champions. Championship standard at best. Watching him play right wing back against Copenhagen was cringeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we are looking at 100s of players and SW doesn't look at all of those, i didn't say he did, scouting as a team is a lengthy process However players recommended for signing which would only be a small percentage of that number would surely have SW's stamp of approval. He doesn't need to watch all of the players we are looking at throughout the whole process. Either way, the summer recruitment has been poor in quality and value for money.

Wizerud Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 Not like we had a lot of time to really judge him but I thought he was serviceable, nothing more nothing less. Not sure he could have settled in at all given the sporadic playing time he was offered and who knows if we ever saw him at his favoured position. Plus he had a Fuchs-esque throw on him that would have been great if any of our other players could have taken advantage of it! Hopefully this is a sign we have someone lined up and it's pretty much concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 So he played 7 times in total for us. 4 in the league. I think most of them were played at RB. Our CB's have struggled all season, but he was never picked to replace them. He must have been awful in training and Claudio must have realised quite quickly that he wasn't good enough or at least deemed not to be. Hardly had a chance to adjust to the league or even play in his preferred position. People on here calling him awful etc, is pretty harsh in my opinion. We move on, but we can't a) keep making signings like this or b) not give them a chance. 4 games in the league out of position is not a chance!

I've seen nothing in Hernandez granted, but the others have shown glimpses. Lets not forget two players who we know can be amazing for us in Vardy and Mahrez have looked utter dog muck how we've played this year in gereral because we're set up appallingly.

katieakita Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 So it has not worked out so be it, all the reports suggested he was a decent player and had been steady for a number of years so as a free why not. There are lots of reasons things do not work out, perhaps he didn't settle or family didn't settle it does happen. Sure plenty can remember when we signed Theo Zagorakis, he was at best a squad player here under MON when we had half the size squad we have now yet he was never a regular yet he went onto great things in the Euros in 2004. The club made a call and it has not worked for both parties it does happen. Improving on the team that were the best in England last season is not as easy as some of the experts on here suggest. Is there any evidence to suggest we are not going to strengthen the back line during this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 I get the impression he hasnt settled in England and unhappy playing out of his position. Bloke gets in la liga team of the season as a CB and gets played at RB ffs. We have 3 donkeys (inb4 they won us da league) as our other options. What are we doing, we need rotation.
