Transfer of the season

[PeterParker]

Maybe one of the best seasons we had as a club and finally, the well aclaimed Spafia delivered big time last summer with smart and fantastic signings.
Who do you think it was the best based on what happend so far this year?

[mr_nool]

Of the ones coming in this summer, Ederson.
Walker as runner up. I think Bernardo will be more important than Walker in the long run, though.

[CTID Hants]

No competition really, son of jaws..... He's had one or two wobbles but I've never known a keeper who could quite easily be an out field player

That shouldn't detract from any of the others on that list, they've all bought summat to the party.

Life is good right now, hopefully it's about to get amazing...

Sorry, only just seen the 3 vote thing, one of my votes clearly went to not signing Sanchez..... Johnny Crossan ran a tireless campaign but Pep held his nerve and the rest as they say is history

[Herb]

IMO all great signings but I pumped for 1. Ederson (because he was needed for us to be able to realise our style of play). 2. Mendy (because he was needed to allow us to take our style of play to the next level - as next season will show) and 3. not signing Sanchez (because he just doesn’t fit with the Mourinho system of play . . the 1 man press is so effective haha . . he’s goosed their wage structure and the whole ridiculous pantomime of his very expensive failure is hearteningly hilarious and has ensured that comedy continues to thrive in football).

Ederson - the defence has been massively improved with having confidence in the person behind them this season.

Not only is he great with the ball at his feet, but he’s a very decent keeper as well. Some of his saves have been outstanding this season.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Ed wins, but walker and Silva have been great too.

[South Stand Balti]

There's only Ederson and Walker that have made a significant contribution in the league. Bernardo has only started 11 games. The success has been based on the improvement of players already at the club. There is only Walker amongst the outfield players, who have played regularly, that didn't play last season. It's a massive compliment to Pep. I'd go for Walker as the best signing based on this season but Bernard could be a gem going forward.

Absolutely spot on Mr Nool. Totally agree with you

[iwasthere2012]

Everything starts and stops with Ed.
He’s the catalyst we were missing last season.

Ed
Walker
Bernardo

My three as well and in that order

[Hutch's Shoulder]

I went for Ed, Kyle and Sanchez. Next year will be Bernie's year!

[ruralblue]

Ederson without any doubt. Best midfielder we ever bought!

Me too

Presumably the Mendy vote was for social media contribution

[sheblue]

Ederson by a mile.

[london blue 2]

Mendy

[Dameerto]

Ed, if Mendy hadn't become injured maybe he would have been a close second.

[Mase]

I think this new Sterling should be an option as well.

[Foreverinbluedreams]

Ederson with Walker a close runner up, both those positions have improved considerably this season.

'The Brazilian grew up idolising Rogério Ceni, the former Brazil international who is the top-scoring goalkeeper of all time with 131 goals in his 25-year career at São Paulo."

131 goals!
