[Albion] Ten games in - our new players

[Rdodge30]

Love Rutter and Gruda
Minteh has potential but I feel a bit cautious…. feels like early Lamptey?

Wondering if 40 or 50 million should have been spent on Colwill (Although Chelsea did not seem to want to sell) may have been worth uping the 30 million bid

think we have more than adequately replaced Gross and shelves are stocked for next two or three transfer windows

Gross admits it and we could see he was well of the pace when he first arrived. He even thought he had made a mistake going into the PL.
Laying into Wieffer after a handful of appearances is just daft.
If he starts performing in a few months like the club hope he will some are going to look rather silly.

Doubt it would have worked…..Chelsea wages/contract length always likely to sway any decision

To be fair I see Georginio as more a creator and less a scorer — though even then he’s managed to get on the scoresheet for us. The flawed finishing is why I’d be surprised to see him utilized as a 9 as opposed to Pedro who can do both extremely well.

Not so long ago I recall reading regularly on here that Pedro wasn't a natural scorer from open play, getting all his goals from penalties...

I myself thought so at first, but Pedro fixed that by November or so. Georginio still has time

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

This is based purely off of what I've seen so far, so not a comment on how good they may/will become and with the understanding that they've played very little football for us:

Georginio - 7. Potntial to go much higher

Minteh - 6. Needs to really work on decision making. Electric pace and when he gets it right absolutely terrifies the opposition. Plenty of potential.

Kadioglu - 6 improving game by game. He looks a busy, energetic player with a bit of ability too.

Wieffer - 5 Things haven't gone his way yet. Lots of noticeable mistakes and looks off the pace so far. Hopefully will come good the more he plays.

Gruda - 6 Has played very little football so his score is basically arbitrary. The little we've seen has promised a lot.

MOR - N/A

I'm looking forward to seeing how Yalcouye develops over the coming season. What i saw of him in pre-season he looked to be a player with a very bright future.
