[Albion] Albiom's summer 18 transfer business

[Weststander]

Jahanbakhsh £17m
Bissouma £15m
Bernardo £9m
Andone £5.25m
Button £4m
Burn £3m
Tau £2.8m
Balogun free
Steele free

Total £56m.

Our squad has been improved, with several weaknesses addressed. The club's approach in getting value, is IMO a better strategy, than the lazy approach of several rivals who operate cheque book scouting.

We don't actually know the value of any of these players yet.
And who of our rivals have been doing "cheque book scouting".
It's awfully arrogant to assume we're doing something greatly different and superior to everyone else.

My head is still spinning with those numbers. Who'd've thought a few years ago that 2.8M is the lowest fee we've paid for one of seven signings

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Many very respected football people like RIchard Keys were raving about Evertons transfer business last summer and look what happened there.

I will say though, if you'd have offered me the window we've had at the beginning of the summer I'd have snapped your hand off.

I would say our Goalkeeping options have got weaker and the loss of Goldson without a replacement is frustrating to say the least.

However its been a very good window so far, hopefully it shows on the pitch, cant help but feel we are still light upfront.

It looks exciting but they are all a risk and I wouldn’t crow too much yet.

We hope our squad has been improved!


Actually, even that wouldn't be much of a triumph, not for £56M anyway - they (or some of them) need to improve the team.

And we might never even see him play, in fact he may never even enter the country again.

Last season was amazing in that we signed a load of new players and almost all were a success. We are, at some point, going to sign a dud so can't be too confident about this crop of players yet.

The fans of several other clubs are more than crowing - elated, confident of top half; and backed by all of the media and pundits.

Wolves, Palace, Everton, Fulham, Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham and Leicester, are today all on massive highs due to "world class" recruiting and retaining all of/almost all of their best 11's.

Bissouma and Button are much lower

It’s a joke!! Of course we want ALL our new signings to succeed, it goes without saying. Hence my tongue in cheek comment.

Excellemt busimess!

 

[Seagulls1984]

How can anyone say it's an excellent window when apart from the gk none of our signings have kicked a ball in English football. Could easily all flop .
