Rate our summer 2015 transfers out of 10

Perhaps I'm bias, I'm not sure. I've been a fan of the lad since his time at Liverpool. I can understand why fans get annoyed at times but I also think he's showing signs of improvement. If he continues his development then he'll be fantastic for us. What would really help him is having an actual manager at the club, that's what we're missing right now. A lot of our players are looking bang average at the moment.
Very true.

I actually think they've stopped playing for him. I have done since around November. They've had enough of him and his lack of preparation.
 
3.5/10.. You're too fucking stupid to be allowed near a computer.

Morning Raheem.

You seem to take these things to heart. You (and many others) see a player in him. Myself (and many others) don't. Why's that so difficult to grasp?
 
- Delph - Good midfield alternative, covers the most ground when he plays, consistently solid performer - 8/10

-Otamendi
- Awesome defender but these WTF are you doing moments are worryingly regular, though our defense would be even worse without him in it. 6.5/10

- De Bruyne
- Has 11 goals of which 1 was "important"(sevilla) the rest have come in routs or losses. goes missing for large parts of games. Not yet convinced me that he's not a fair weather player. 5/10

- Sterling
- Inconsistent but has been our best player in Europe. Needs to start playing his own game (taking people on, create more chances etc), rather than just holding the ball up waiting for Kolarov to run past. 6/10

Morning. I dont take it to heart, I just know not to talk football from now on with those stupid enough to think he's not a player and only justifies a 3.5 out of 10 when he's already been picked in the team of the champions league group and had more good games than bad.
I'd wipe the shit out of your eyes if I were you.

It's difficult to grasp because the rating is far to harsh on a developing player. If he was mid 20's fair play but he's 21.
You like others are getting caught up in how much we paid for him, which isn't down to the player.

The thread is about our transfer business as a club which definitely should take into account the transfer fees. I.e. if Sterling was a 10m signing, then the rating would be higher, all be it not by much.

More good games than bad is also your opinion. I can think of two since December (Gladbach and Sunderland). Certainly has the odd strong performance, but a clear majority have been weak, imo.

Anyway, there's a Sterling thread for that debate so I'll leave it here.
 
Based on a six being average

Otamendi -6
Delph - 6.5
De Bruyne -7
sterling - 6.5

Not too disappointed by any of them (although Otamendi has his moments) not blown away by any of them either.

I thought we were buying a complete player in DB and he hasn't done enough away from home to justify that. Looks good at home though mostly.

Sterling has had some good games but clearly has much to develop. Wouldn't rule him out yet though as the natural talent is there.

Overall our signings in the last 3/4 seasons have been average.

I'm sure you won't leave it long.
