Best signing of the Summer so far?
Rathbone? Reg? Odoffin? Ferguson? Grigg? Bola ? Chapman?
Chapman? Looked reasonable and somebody to work with with the future in mind. A decent signing.
Odoffin? Too few appearances to decide yet. Hasn't done anything particularly wrong in those appearances. Time will tell.
Ferguson? Certainly got some skill but not sure he has the engine at his age to be wing back. Maybe just use him as a bit player or just as an out and out winger
Bola? Not done owt daft inthe few times I've seen him. Looks like a raw Harding, a similar build and style but Harding turned out ok lets hope T can develop in the same way.
Grigg? He has obviously still got it. Reads the game well. Quicker and better in the air than what you may think given his stature. Glad he got his first league goal yday will help his confidence and brilliantly taken from a tight angle. Given a run of games, I think he will start knocking em in now (hopefully not so many that Sunderland want him back in Jan)!
Rathbone? So positive in everything he does and such an engine on him. He was the only one who was likely to score at all as he did against Crewe the other day. You always feel when he gets into a tackle summat positive is going to happen next because of it. Reminds me of a Mick Gooding all action type. Not the biggest which worries me because one day he may over do it or some cynical defender or midfielder might take him out.
Reg? This lad has grown on me. I thought he looked a bit small for a CB when he first come but he more than makes up for his slight lack of height with his ability to read the game, his heading ability and speed. Playing alongside Woody will help him develop as well.
So I'm going to plump for Rathbone, Reg and Grigg as best summer signings but there is no reason why some of the others cant come good as well.
All in all a decent set of summer signings. We just needed that left sided defender. Hopefully that will be a priority in Jan.
