I agree with Mahrez, I think that was a poor signing in hindsight but I was excited at the time and could completely understand why we signed him. The others I disagree; Danilo, Mendy and Cancelo are all very capable players but due to injuries and Walker's defensive consistency we've not got the best out of those individuals. That said without Danilo and Cancelo, I don't think Walker would have performed so well, the competition within the squad has really helped him.because the market has changed and in recent years (since those sighings) we dont seem to have been that shrewd tbh
Positives
Laporte - will turn out to be a bargain.
Brnardo Silva - worth every penny and more
to be seen
Rodri - probably worth what we paid but not a bargain
Not worth it"
Danillo - I thought he was decent but obviously didnt want to be here
Mahrez - Dont believe he will be worth the money
Cancello - not expensive but doesnt seem to have been worth it and wants to leave
Mendy - absolutely not worth the money we paid for him
Angelino - playing wise not worth it but will make us money I suppose
Ive not included Scott Carson - as complete unknown and hasnt cost us anything
Who are the other recent signings? I cant think of any others that have been signed in the same time frame
Angelino is a brilliant player, he was well worth the small gamble because in possession he's a perfect fullback for us, he's just lacking experience and maturity defensively and I think that will come but I don't think he'll want to wait for his chance here and I wouldn't blame him.
There's absolutely still bargains to be had, it's just being patient and getting the right players.
