You have basically just compared to reserves, so are you admitting that these signings are nothing more than additional numbers rather than an improvement in quality?
Connolly is the equivalent of Crowe
Bessone - You or I know nothing about I guess. He was a bit part player and I doubt as good as Parker.
Collins - Not a bad player but better out there, and I doubt any better than Lubo
Sam - Absolute poop and not in same league as Robinson
Paynter - Beckford was the guy before. Paynter is a journeyman with one lucky season. Not in same league as Beckford.
Hughes and bromby made more appearences than Crowe last year and were not reserves so Connolly replaces them at RB.
Bessone was a regular for Swansea injury permitting a team that challenged for the play-offs up until the end of the season and clearly a better LB than either Hughes OR Johnson hopefully Parker will eventually get fit and fight it out for the LB spot with him.
Sam who's performed in the Championship is poop iyo yet you rate an overweight scouser who had a good couple of years in the lower leagues?
Collins played a part in our promotion and was a regular in the Sunderland AND Wolves teams that got promoted to the Prem whereas Lubo has been found out big time since his return.
Paynter was a freebie who scored 29 goals last year and actually scored more league goals than Beckford and SG has already stated he isn't Beckfords replacement which leaves Enoch who's gone and Kandol who's on his way.
These are all FACTS mate nothing more nothing less check their respective appearences etc and i agree we need to add quality to the team/squad but the players altready signed are clear improvements in their respective positions/players they replace.
