"Flop Signings"

[Fisher Owl]

Ugbo

Chalobah 

Jamal Lowe 

Kobacki 

 

Apart from brief glimpses,I think these particular 4 players have been a big let down.

 

[OwususFirstTouch]

Add Svante, Hatsuse, Cissoko and Armstrong too.

 

Danny has been properly let down this year with recruitment, it might just be one of the worst groups of incoming players we've had when you consider what they've offered as a collective.

[CircleSeven]

Of the four Chalobah has probably been the most useful. Lowe has been the biggest surprise at how poor he’s been as he’s had a decent career at this level.

I'd love to know how many were actually players Danny had identified....

Ingelsson, really?

 

I must be attending different games to you. He's not been a revelation but I've seen enough to think that he could be a decent player for us next season.

Opinions init, I don't rate him at all.

 

Think he's got loads of energy but his end product is poor, not the worst of the group but expected a lot more after a promising debut.

Absolutely but I don't think anyone expected the ugbo disaster.

So he’s not a flop then is he … your summary makes him mid

On kobacki still young enough to turn it around . It was more of a gamble that one

 

chalobah and Lowe just don’t have the real heart of efforts . Motion players. both been poor . 

 

Ugbo a real strange one just not worked

Ugbo hasn't been a flop. I saw him complete a pass earlier.

Agree, I think he's been alright. A lot of players do take a while to adjust to football in a different country and then come good, let's hope he becomes a real force next season.

Opinions are like @rseholes. Everyone has one but some are sh1tier than others…..

 

Inglesson was brought in as a squad player. He’s done fine in that role, especially joining a league that was a clear step up for him. I’d make a similar argument for Hatsuse. Far too early to judge him. 
 

Kobacki was brought in as a prospect for the future, not an automatic first teamer, so no idea why he’s branded as a letdown.

Hardly, being able to run about a lot and do not much else doesn't work for me but like I said it's about opinions and the whole topic is subjective to them.

[LaughtonOwl]

Not one of the players we signed last summer has proved good enough.

Ugbo has been a surprise after hus performances in 2024, but ultimately the will take us backwards. 

And for that reason I'm not sure any, other than Ugbo, were DR signings
