With Rhys Williams being picked up by Port Vale it made me think of where else the other recruits or that shambolic summer have ended up. Here’s the list.
Rhys Williams- Port Vale (League 1)
Dominic Thompson- Forest Green (League 2)
Callum Wright- Plymouth (championship)
Liam Bridcutt- Without a club
Grant Ward- Bristol Rovers (League 1)
Lewis Fiorini- Charlton Athletic (League 1)
Donovan Lescott- Youth setup
Alex Lankshear- Youth setup
Owen Moffat- Youth setup
Theo Corbeanu- Grasshopper (Swiss Super League)
Charlie Patino- Swansea (championship)
Ian Poveda- Leeds (championship)
Zak Emmerson- youth setup
So, out of this list of players, the majority of which were signed as first team players to play at championship level, only THREE are still playing in the second tier.
Really highlights how poorly managed the club was last year. Patino and Poveda imo are the only “good” signings there, and even Poveda was hit and miss.
The rest were either very disappointing, injury prone, rarely featured, or a combination of all of the above.
Obviously there’s also some players in there who have been signed for the future but how close are they to featuring in our league 1 side, never mind in the championship?
