Why do we want to sign a 24 year old reserve team player effectively stopping the development of any young players coming through at that age? if he's not challenging the first team now I don't see the value of signing a player like this. I hope I'm proved wrong spectacularly but due to the disastrous recruitment policy of the #frenchlads last season I see this as another pointless signing please please please prove me wrong Doesn't appear to be many youth team midfielders who will play in league 2 next season from what I've seen, so this is a useful signing IMO.

Moussa Dabo esque Jamie Vardy was obviously not going to amount to anything playing in non league at the same age. Let's give the lad a chance.

GlossopLatic Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 5 minutes ago, Smiler13 said: It was not that disastrous. If Wellens had played more of them we might have stayed up. He would not play Nepomuceno at the end of the season and he was one of our more successful players when we had the good run of form. Wellens has to take some responsibility for his team selection which was pathetic at the latter stages of the season . He continued to players out of position and omitted good players from the team such as Nepo for the likes of Benyu and Pringle. He was bloody clueless. It really was disastrous Placide Nepo Menig Maouche Omrani Benteke and moimbe. Their is probably £1million worth of wages there. Placide was an ok goalkeeper no better no worse. Nepos reputation appeared to grow massively when he wasnt playing and we were losing. But he was ok nothing more nothing less. Moimbe was good enough technically but undisciplined we could have found a better player. The others were just a waste. So 2 ok players out of 7 we could easily have spent that money better. Id call that a disaster. Its also obvious this isnt Bunns signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohairdontcare Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 One of the first things RW said when we were relegated was that the recruitment policy needed to change. That doesn’t appear to be happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiecat Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Just in case i missed it and as we have now announced a new signing ,could anybody confirm who the playershare player is please. I assume it is JBB but haven't seen anything from club or trust to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Signings made by 'normal' means - Corney/Corney's cronies/incumbent manager / UK base agents (?) - since the start of last season; Davies. Gardner. Hunt. Ruddy. Wilson [Ben]. McEleney. Duffus. Doyle. Bryan. Byrne. Benyu. Kyeremeh. Baxter. Signings made by Lemsagam since the start of last season; Placide. Queensy. Ambrose. Zeus. Maouche. Moimbe. Omrani. Nazon. Gevaro. Benteke. Branger. Who'd win in 11 v 11 - if the 'normal' means team loaned a player to Lemsagam's?

So how can you rate a player when they are never played. I watched Maouche in one game against under 23 opposition admitted however I did see that their was a good player in there given a chance in this 25 minute cameo. He could beat a player and also was a good passer of the ball and he did create chances from midfield. The problem was that a all these players where brought into the club last season after preseason so they never got a real chance to get fit or up to speed. So my judgement on this player is still not concluded until I hopefully see more of him this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(NOT) some players from low league sides can be developed into better players with good coaching. In Frank Bunn we have probably one of the best coaches at the club for many years. Let’s see if he can get this lad playing good football. Let’s face it he can’t be worse than McEleney. You know I was being sarcastic ? I was reacting to the ever so typical negativity.

I remember Mr Vardy being given a chance from non league at Fleetwood at a similar age from non league but look at him now he’s representing us at the World Cup. 24 is still not too old to be developed.

We could possibly have spent the money better elsewhere but i am not sure the manager would have done. Placide - o.k, moimbe is a decent player but lacks discipline, Nepo decent when played as a winger and we did better with him in the side than we did without. Omrani looked decent in his subs appearences but looked shocking in the game he started although Wellens subbed him and admitted it was his formation and tactics were at fault that day. Menig - pretty much waste of money. Manouche and Benteke - no idea as haven't seen enough of them to make a decision. What i do know is Ruddy, Ben Wilson, Benyu, Pringle, Mceleney never looked good enough at any point. Byrne and Davies were shite from December onwards. Byrne clearly has the abbility though. All in all there were signings made by both manager and chairman that were nowhere near good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
