All good players, working out their best position if they have one and getting them all in the team along with our other star players is the problem

Rate our summer 2015 transfers out of 10
- Thread starter ayrshire_blue

All young enough and capable of being moulded into a very good team. There has to be a plan with a young, energetic manager in place. Otamendi might actually be the most vulnerable under a different coach. Time will tell. Wrong to mark them after half a season.
I dunno what the hell this thread really is, considering it's not the best time to be rating transfers bought last summer.
Delph - Looks good and importantly has confidence, so when he's come in, he's look like he belonged. Technically sound, energetic. The type of player that's an asset to any squad, in some form, no matter what level that squad is at. At 8 million, (and ticking an english quota box,) I expect this to prove to be a great bit of business.
Sterling - The greatest english, young, attacking talent out there. Smart player. Pace is frightening. Good at following tactical instruction. Needs polishing up, technically. Good mentality that has braved a media execution and excessive responsibility due to injuries this season. Handled it admirably. English player premium. Rival team premium. World class potential. Today's market (in terms of average premier league team's revenue.) 44 million will be a bargain, if this lad fulfils our ambitions for him. I expect this to be a great bit of business.
De Bruyne - 50 million for the assist king of Europe? who just so happens to be young, hungry and potentially a GOAT City/Prem player? Hell yeah 50 million! Cash, cheque or credit!? I expect this to be a great bit of business (I feel like I've said that already.)
Otamendi - La liga's best defender last season. His style and skill set fit the bill for the kinds of defenders we've been signing. He's become our a big yard dog in a time when we're missing our Captain Fantastic who *usually* fills that role so perfectly. (...I say 'usually' simply for want of a better word.) I must admit, I find myself admiring the way he passes a ball, which is weird because he's a defender. Also his beard is glorious. I believe that Kompany's absence has quickened the process of proving this to be a much-needed signing. Whether he was worth his money, it's still unfair tojudge. I expect this to prove to be a solid peice of business.
All in all, it's not clever to judge right now, and that goes both ways (whether you wanna bash the signings or praise them.) But I guess it's just discussion of opinion so it's harmless.
What I think was truly great about this window was the manner in which we went about our business. We took Liverpool from a firm 'no' to 'okay, fiiiiiine.' Also, we fought some top teams for De Bruyne, and won that battle. And we used the Negredo situation, which is a negative, and used it to get the best defender of La Liga last season (this is what I believe.) We also replaced the loss of Milner, who we would miss for a variety of non-worldclass reasons.
Great window. Weird season though :s

Hype for Delph is justified. People are happy that he went from crooked to solid backup with possibilities of more (even if small), this is the job he came in for.
Don't take this for granted, Fernando who costed more than Delph and came from a much better club with experience in Europe, was certainly not filling the role of a solid backup in his first season.

How the fuck can you judge players with this clown in charge
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.
And looking through the thread your rating is well below the average. I'm siding with the masses, you're chatting crap.

We've seen the quality really in all of them. People rating KdB and Sterling at 5 or 6 are just out of their mind. Both players have shown that they are quality players. Right now it's about getting that consistency from them and playing them in their best positions. Both are top players, Delph is a shrewd buy and Otamendi is promising but we really need to see him alongside Kompany.

Sterling 0/10 he fell over the ball with his very first touch as a city player.
De Bruyne 1/10 he is ginger, and ginger doesn't match the kit. Should have signed for a team who play in green.
Delph 9/10. Sounds hard. No-Nonsense Yorkshire twat who smokes full strength capstans, with the filter torn off. Loses a point cos he's from Yorkshire.
Ottamendi 3/10. His head is too big. If we change to a round neck collar next season he will have to be sold. He won't be able to get the shirt on.
