Shrewd Signings in 2020/21 Season

[warksclaret]

Who do we think have been some of the best signings this season. Obviously excludes us as we only made one. For me

Leicester-Forfana
West Ham-Coufal, Souchek, Lingard, Dawson
Saints-Wolcott
Newcastle-Wilson and Willock
Brighton-Wellbeck
Man Utd-Cavalli
WBA-Gallagher
Villa-Konsa,Cash and Watkins
Palace-Eze
Man City -Diaz
Fulham-Lookman and Andersen

I know some of these were big money, but some were shrewd business too. Are there any I have missed that were really good business

BHA—Sanchez

[randomclaret2]

Sanchez has been at Brighton since he was 16

[warksclaret]

I forgot Lookman and Andersen at Fulham. Whilst the club got relegated these two stood out

[jdrobbo]

Matty Cash for Villa. Was on our radar snd has been extremely good for them. Would’ve been a superb addition and this justifies exactly why we should still try to use the Championship to shop at!!

[ayrshireclaret83]

Us - Dale Stephens

[Jakubs Tash]

Villa-Konsa,Cash and Watkins

Konsa has been at Villa for two seasons now.

[Dy1geo]

Hendrick- Newcastle

Lookman stood out?

[Newcastleclaret93]

I have picked three players

Cavani, Raphina and Bale

All had good seasons

[Vegas Claret]

Standout by a country mile has been Diaz
Souchek has made a huge difference to WHU also

[TsarBomba]

And potentially the best of the lot- Martinez at Villa.

[DCWat]

Cavani, Raphina and Bale

Has Bale had a great season, when looking at the season as a whole, and by his previously high levels of performance?

A couple of good mates who are regulars at Spurs (albeit on TV of course this season) haven't been bowled over by him and are somewhat undecided as to whether they’d want him again next season.

I would say he has had a good season.

11 goals and 3 assists in 20 games is pretty good (especially given 4 of those were sub appearances)

Godfrey has also had a good season

[Dark Cloud]

I'd say Lingard, simply because it's so, so rare for Utd to let someone go who is actually any good and he's definitely had a good season and been a very shrewd acquisition. (Jonny Evans is the only other one I can think of off hand who has done really well after being jettisoned by Utd)

[warksclaret]

And potentially the best of the lot- Martinez at Villa.

Very good shout-forgot him. He has been one of this seasons stand out keepers

[warksclaret]

Konsa has been at Villa for two seasons now.

Thanks for that-my error

Very shrood, most of those.

[Elizabeth]

Leeds had the option to permanently sign Meslier before this season started and at the age of only 21 this young French goalkeeper proved to be one of the top performers in the PL. At that age I’d call him a shrewd signing

[minnieclaret]

Has Bale had a great season, when looking at the season as a whole, and by his previously high levels of performance?

Saw some stats on Bale this morning that would have made him PotY but the most impressive was a goal per 90mins action. Not to be sniffed at.

For shrewd signings I agree with Fofana, Coufal, Souchek, Willock, and Dias.

How can the others can be considered shrewd when they were either well known or performed poorly?

Utd wouldn't have finished second without cavani imo.....mentioned Tomas soucek on here way b4 West ham got him.. though Burnley wouldn't have stumped up enough.

I don't disagree he had a big impact on Utd but Cavani was a world renowned striker for over a decade before joining Utd, good signing yes, a shrewd signing possibly not as you knew what you would get from Cavani.

[the_fat_shearer]

West Ham-Coufal, Souchek, Lingard, Dawson

Along with Moyes running the ship well this is a big reason for WHU's success this year.
Shows what wise investment can do.
