Ederson probably, closely followed by Walker. There've been fewer duds than people will give Txiki credit for.

 

[grim up north]

Cannot wait for the Mahrez posts

 

[wayne71]

Ignoring the fact he’s buggered off I think Sane is the best player he’s signed.

The hologram.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Its quite a list and to be fair he has mostly got a tune out of the vast majority.

1.Unequivocal success:

Ilkay Gundogan
Leroy Sané
Gabriel Jesus
Bernardo Silva
Ederson
Kyle Walker
Aymeric Laporte
Rodrigo Hernandez
Joao Cancelo
Ruben Dias
Ferran Torres

2. Reservations or too soon to tell

John Stones (looking for promotion to cat 1.)
Claudio Bravo
Benjamin Mendy
Riyad Mahrez
Zack Steffen
Nathan Aké

3.Poor signings

Nolito
Danilo

4. Was given little chance so cant judge

Angelino

Good to see Ben Mendy is a member of this forum!

If it was purely on natural ability, I agree it would probably be Sané or Bernardo.

I'm not sure Pep is the one who makes the final decision on who is signed. I'm sure he has a say, but my impression is that Txiki makes the final decisions

No one person has a final decision but it was Khaldoon that told Txiki,Van Dijk was too expensive in the Amazon doc.
