SP's signings (1 Viewer)

[SonOfSnoz]

SP is more a coach than a scout, maybe an Andy Thorn type is needed?
How many of his signings have actually been a success?
Presso's talents lie in tactics, motivation & leadership.
His scouting is questionable.
Non of the loan players lit up the team apart from Mcguire, who is no longer at the club.

I'd disagree Seaborne did very well when he was here and the defence looked better.

Seaborne and Webster look OK at this level. Jury's out on Slager and Urquhart (and may remain so for some time).

Manset looked OK but wrong mentality.

I'd say a solid C grade so far, no disasters (even Manset was only given a year contract) but no spectacular successes either.

Yet we still leak goals galore?
Fernan, care to prove me wrong?
Stats don't lie!
None of SP's signings have done much!
Presso brings on the young players & other manager's signings, Leon, Baker, Murphy, moosa etc

I don't care to prove you wrong!
I just think!
I think you're a funny poster!
You're mad as a box of frogs!

Just my opinions
I don't just blindly follow the sheep!
I'm not a Sisu fan but can also see the some good they have brought to the club & the mess was here way before they came!
I didn't think we had an exciting young squad when Thorn was forced to sell everyone standing....but look at the potential now

 

[im-confused]

I disagree.. Seaborne looks like a solid player who can really add something to our defence, and Dagnall shows the kind of energy and work ethic that proves his determination - reminds me a bit of Andy Morrell.
As long as we keep scoring more than we concede, I don't really care.

Just to put it out there, has there been a single day since Pressley joined that we havent had a transfer embargo ?

Talk about trying to operate with one hand behind your back

 

[Covstu]

How can you exactly judge his transfer policy? He's had little room to manouvre in the market budget-wise, and we know he missed out on transfer targets because of the embargo.

Totally agree, he has had to pick players from scraps. He has no transfer budget to speak off, he had to release players i.e. sheffers, Bell and co to release any kind of funds. Personally in the position we are in given the resources he has had SP has done an amazing job. People like Webster, whos legs might be lagging a wee bit still add a lot of value to a very young and inexperienced defense.

On the plus side, unlike previous managers he's not been able to sign quantity over quality over bloating the squad with over paid dirge.

What do you class as signings ? Webster has done okay and the two loans McGuire and Dagnall scored goals can't say anything yet about Urquhart or the Dutchman. But what about the likes of Wilson, Thomas, Phillips may not be "new" signings but are new to regular first team football and done well and there's others. As for Mansatt I don't believe he was a 100% Pressley signing, IMO Pressley ditched him from the first team squad too quickly to be his choice

Webster ok, looked a lot better since his mini rest, expect further improvement after a decent pre season. The players bombed out, 100 % correct on all of them. Seaborne very good, Daggers also looked useful. Manset, they knew there was enough talent, but he obviously lacked the application.
