  1. b-c level players mostly. I like lewis ferguson though. he’s really good. Tomori has had a few good seaosns but flawed. RLC and Abraham really not great. MCTominay been real good so far for napoli.

  2. Scott McTominay was always going to be a top boxcrasher on any team with a competent manager.

    I still don’t understand why Utd offloaded him to pickup such an offensive liability like Ugarte. All he can do is put a tackle in like 75% of the time. Passing and shooting is on par with literal League One DMs. Nowhere near worth £60m.

  3. “Another” influx?

    Like maybe the first handful of players who didn’t range from horrible to average?

    Out of the 1980s batch most were meh, with infamously awful performances such as Luther Blissett, Ian Rush and Des Walker.

    In the 90s it went slightly better with Platt, Ince and, as usual inconsistently, Gazza. Ok but not great.

    The 00s were a black hole, with Beckham as a mostly PR acquistion, with glimpses of his old talent

    The 10s brought a lot of pre-retirement has-beens (The Ashleys, Joe Hart, Ramsey) and some never-weres (Richards, Morrison and many others you had to Google to find out where they came from). And the 20s have seen even more obscure names joining for whatever reason.

    So far, I’d say only Scottish players have been doing slightly above average, but let’s not pretend they’ve set Serie A on fire. Half a season for Ferguson, a bunch of goals by Che Adams and the only actual “big name” McTominay.

  4. More nonsense, they’ve all been average apart from Tomori and the likes of Tammy had one good season, 3 years ago.
