Davies- not seen him, have we ? CCV - 5 looks good, need to see more of him though Lyndsey - 4 Ward - not played enough to fully evaluate but doesn’t look great Smith - see above... maybe a 4 Cousins - 3 Duffy - 6 looks half decent when he’s played Gregory - works arrdd might be his best signing ? 6/7 Hogan - not really played enough, seems like he might know where the net is 5 Powell - jury’s out, not played enough Batth - 6 sometimes think he’s solid enough other times looks woeful Federichi - looks competent 6 Vokes - still some hope in him but not seen it yet 5
Who’ve I missed ?

Duffy - some nice touches, but he doesn't look fully fit, so more to come, I hope. 5 Powell - shame he got injured as he was my big hope to shine for us this season, but there's still time. 6 CCV - looked okay and worth more game time, for me. He seems better on the ball than Batth (not hard, I grant you). 6 Smith - a bit of a disappointment, if I am being honest. Such good reviews from Hudders. 4 Vokes - there is a decent target man in there, but he has not delivered at Stoke yet, and has been poor on the whole. 5 Batth- solid, but unspectacular, with poor distribution. Get him back to being a stopper in a flat back four and he will "do a job". 5 Gregory - a workaholic striker like SJW, links play well and hassles centre backs. He needs a goal, but I have been pleasantly surprised. 7 Hogan - clearly a poacher, and we need to create chances for him. 6 Lindsay - not bad on the ball, but he is not as commanding as I had hoped and will do well to keep his spot ahead of BMI. 4 Davies - where is he? Cousins - disappointing in the extreme, never the answer in that holding role. 3 Ward - he did well enough at Charlton, but was poor at Brum, and it's scary he is our only true left back. 4

INS
Davies - 1
Pointless signing if he's not even our number 2. He must be fucking fuming. Could have been playing regular Championship football and he instead playing under 23s
Batth - 3
The myth that he made us defensively better last season (the stats say he didn't) is now coming to the fore. Poor signing with many Boro fans being happy he chose us.
Lyndsey - 4
Out of all the lower league defenders he could have picked he ain't the one. He's okay defensively but his passing is atrocious.
Ward - 2
He's shit ain't he and just here for his last pay packet. Absolute panic signing. Smith - 2
Seems worse than Edwards. Pointless signing really.
Cousins - 0
Embarrassing all round. I mean how many more alarm bells are required that hes not a Championship midfielder.
Duffy - 3
Why?
Gregory - 7
Reckon he would do Okay with someone next to him.
Hogan - 2
Doing exactly what his stats suggest which are rarely touches the ball and rarely scores.
Powell - 1
Was always likely to be injured and is. Doesn't look very good and it's well known he fucking hates Stoke.
Vokes - 0
Aged and immobile. Doesn't suit the NJ way of playing. Total waste of money.
OUTS (major players only)
Pieters - 0
We don't have a fucking left and so sold our only left back to a Premier League club despite him supposedly not being good enough for us.
Verlinden - 0
Fuming. Im absolutely fucking fuming at this.
Afobe - 6
Clearly didnt fancy playing for us so good riddance, but now doing okay at Bristol.
Bojan - minus 100
Fucked off for Duffy and Powell. Im amazed his name hasnt been sung yet.

Davies - no idea - but my guess is the backroom staff are working on his weaknesses... Ward - 6 - decent pro Smith - 4 - expected more Batth - 7 - technically limited but whole hearted Vokes - 6 - not shone but needs service Cousins - 6 - unspectacular but hasn't done much wrong for me Gregory - 7 - limited but works his socks off Hogan - 4 - looks lost Duffy - no idea - hardly played Powell - 5 - injury waiting to happen. Falls over a lot CCV - 6 - looks very comfortable on the ball Lindsay - 6 - raw but a physical presence and has potential
Outs
Bojan - 10 - at last Pieters - 2 - but wanted to go Verlinden - 8 - unlucky to be a winger in a wingerless formation and his confidence could be shattered by a toxic atmosphere. Needs game time - good move Afobe - 2 - hounded out by fans and will score goals for his new club. Makes us look stupid,

Davies not played can't judge
Smith 4 been disappointed from what I've seen up to now
Ward 3 over the hill signing as back up
Lindsay 4 decent in the air but lacks pace and distribution seems dicey.
Batth 6 again strong in the air but hit and hope distribution
Cousins 2 looks woefully out of his depth like the guy that signed him
Powell not seen enough but undoubted quality and made of paper mashe!
Vokes 6 looks a handful if given decent crosses into the box but lacks mobility
Gregory 7 impressed me the most of the signings works hard, holds the ball up well. Just needs a goal.
Hogan 6 Got a couple of early goals and then seemed to disappear. But looks OK.

From what i have seen so far i like most of them. Given time i think Lindsay and Cousins will be great signings. Its way too early to judge yet. Gregory is the only one i would say that has been consistent and looks a solid player in a front 2.

Davies - ??? Who?
Batth - 4 A solid mediocre championship defender with poor distribution
Lyndsey - 4 Often looks like he has a mistake or two in him. But he's young and maybe with Jones's genius coaching he might improve or he may turn into Steven Tweed.
Ward - 2 A bit of an insult to Erik Pieters that basically we swapped him for Ward. Thought when he signed he was looking for a final payday and nothing since has changed my mind. That wing backs are crucial to Jones's formation, Ward was the only option in the whole of Europe we could come up with. Man Alive!
Smith - 4 Came with a big reputation but disappointing so far, at least we have two capable right backs
Cousins - 0 Another one of Jones's little projects sees an attempt to turn him into the next Kante. Classic case of not having scouted the player and allowing Jones to sign him on a whim because he workd with him a few years ago. He will be playing league 2 next season....nice one Jonesy
Duffy - 3 Think he is still sulking about not being part of a Prem squad doesn't look like he wants to be here and was signed because our key signing Powell clearly isn't going to play many games
Gregory - 6 A likeable hard worker with a bit about him. He will never in a million years score more than 10 goals, so for a team that lacks goals not really the answer
Hogan - 3 Signed on a hope that he would recreate his Brentford form of 2 years ago, great idea! Does have an eye for goal so a glimmer of hope
Powell - ??? Well as a freebie it was worth a punt, but will spend more time on the physio's couch than on the pitch which is a shame.
Vokes - 3 Showed little of his Burnley form and his career seems to be on the wane. Another signing who will soon move on for a fraction of the price we paid for him.
Conclusion....if these are the examples of Jones's choice of players, then his scouting is as shit as his coaching and his game management.

Powell. Probably a 7 based on ability. Reduced to 3.5 because he’ll only play 50% of the games Gregory. Looks bothered and a 100% er. Lacking in real quality 6
The rest. Completely gash 1 a piece . Apart from Cousins who doesn’t even get that

They are either generally wank in which case he's to blame, or they are overall pretty good but he's not getting the best out of them with his team selections, in which case he is also to blame.
