Marquee players : Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:44 pm
What is everyone's view of our marquee signings now our season is done?We have been wanting the club to loosen the purse strings but for me I'm not sure we have got great value.
Merrin is a steadying influence now he has adjusted to the refing and the team do certainly miss him when he is off the field. I don't think he has been quite the player I was expecting though as I was expecting more busts, some well placed offloads and a bit more guile.
Hurrell has grabbed more headlines and while a good battering ram there is more to his attacking game than just that. I have been disappointed with his defence and ball retention though. He is often caught in no man's land defensively.
Not to say they are bad players, and you must take account they have moved half way round the world to a club in transition (read: playing crap) but don't think they have proved great value so far.
I will be looking for them to push on next season, just like everyone else needs too.
