Lampard’s transfer dealings.

[ramAnag]

Not long to go and one of the best ways of assessing a new manager’s achievements is his success or otherwise in the transfer market. So here goes...thoughts on Frank’s signings.

Tomori 8
Wilson 7
Mount 7...
...doubt any of them would have been with us without the attraction of Lampard’s association but it seems unlikely that any will be ‘building blocks’ for next season.

Marriott. 5...but on target for 8/9 before the ‘illness’ issue.
Jozefzoon. 3...a major disappointment.
Holmes. 7...best of the long term signings.
Waghorn. 6...wasted out wide but a decent signing with plenty still to offer.
Malone...5...good squad player but not the answer.
Cole...3...silly old pals act signing.
Evans...3...contributed little.
Ambrose...N/A...who? Couldn’t Wisdom have covered CD?

So at least four of the incomers have, imo, fallen into the waste of money category which begs the question why did we have to get rid of Cameron Jerome and Pearce who would, again imo, have offered DCFC more than Jozefzoon, Cole, Evans and Ambrose put together?

On the credit side...the improvement in Roos and Bogle has also been encouraging.

Thoughts?
