Webber's signings from 2017-2019

I reckon SW has signed 64 players (includes kids but excludes deals that were already in place like Gunn & Idah)

23 have been duds
Husband, Franke, Raggett, Edwards, Watkins, Marshall, Passlack, Heise, Roberts, Amadou, Duda, Fahrmann
(plus 12 kids who've been released)

13 Excellent
Rhodes, Buendia, Hanley, Hernandez, Krul, Leitner, McLean, Pukki, Stiep, Trybull, Vrancic, Zimm, Martin

3 Good (Reed, Byram, Thomas)
3 Average (Drmic, Rupp, Srbeny)
22 Unknown (all U23 & U18s)

There is plenty of argument about which category I've put certain players into but I don't think there is much doubt that One Third Duds is a pretty fair assessment.

If you want to make it First Team signings only then it is 29 signed: 12 Duds, 12 Excellent, 2 Gd & 3 Av
