Quote: MashPotatoes "It doesn't bode well signing players from a team that could only manage one win all season. A player that has failed at most clubs (Moore) and a below average halfback from another relegated club (Gale). The only player I rate is Roberts, the rest are nowhere near as good replacements as what you've let go. Good luck with Denny Solamona and the like.'"
Don't tar all those players with the same brush, some are very good signings.
The problems at London are many and go well beyond the performance of individual players. Appalling mis-management off the field, poor coaching on it, over-paid under-performing overseas signings causing local lads on a pittance to become demotivated. The players you've signed were in a team with glaring failings at centre and in the pack, I would defy any player to shine in that situation.
Take Luke Dorn, last few seasons he looked terrible for us, now he's in a well balanced side he looks like the player we signed in 2005. Luke Dorn hasn't changed much in all that time, it's the situation around him that changed. In 2005-7 he played in a well balanced side and was a great attacking player. Now he is in a well balanced side and is a great attacking player. In 2011-13 he was playing at a club with massive issues on and off the pitch, and he looked hopeless. Same player, different situations.
McMeeken and Solomona are good signings.
Not impressed with Moore though.
