All 155 Premier League signings this summer now reassessed on impact – Incl 6 Newcastle United | OneFootball

After the summer transfer window ended, all 155 senior Premier League signings were ranked by The Athletic.

They ranked them from best to worst, from number one to number 155.

The Athletic have now repeated the exercise.

Ranking all 155 Premier League signings based on how they have done so far.

Players who have been injured and/or not given much of a chance, they have been ranked lower down the list.

So the reassessments are based on the impact made so far…

Here are the six Newcastle United signings, with their new ranking in the list of 155 stated before their name, then showing how many places they have moved up, or down, compared to their original rating at the start of September.

7. Nick Woltemade, Stuttgart to Newcastle

Up 29 places from 36

The Athletic’s reported transfer fee: £69.3m (with add-ons)

Reported contract length: Six years

What we said then: They can’t exactly call him their first choice, but Newcastle finally have a forward in the door and yes, he’s a very good one. Has an outstanding technical skill set. Surname will be pronounced ‘Walt Made’ by thousands of Geordies.

What we’re saying now: Scorer of one of the greatest penalty kicks in Premier League history. Also joins Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand as the only players to score in their first three Premier League home games for Newcastle. A unique talent who will be one of the players to watch this season.

10. Malick Thiaw, Milan to Newcastle

Up 60 places from 70

The Athletic’s reported transfer fee: £34.6m (with add-ons)

Reported contract length: Four years

What we said then: His signing ends a three-year search for Fabian Schar’s eventual successor in central defence. Thiaw, aged 24 and capped three times by Germany, is comfortable on the ball, can play in a high line and is good at switching play.

What we’re saying now: Eventual successor? He’s ousted Schar already and looks like a heck of a player. Rolls Royce-type, very calm under pressure, good technique, quick and decent in the air. Could form a solid partnership with Sven Botman.

63. Anthony Elanga, Nottingham Forest to Newcastle

Down 16 places from 47

The Athletic’s reported transfer fee: £55m (with add-ons)

Contract length: Five years

What we said then: How much?! But, fine, it’s hard to see how this won’t be a good addition given Elanga’s rapid improvement at Forest in the past two years.

What we’re saying now: No goals and one assist in 10 matches. It’s been a slow start.

122. Aaron Ramsdale, Southampton to Newcastle

Down 38 places from 84

Transfer fee: Loan (reported £4m-£5m fee)

Contact length: One year

What we said then: Appears to have a genuine redemption story in his grasp at Newcastle given their current first-choice goalkeeper Nick Pope’s inconsistent form. The epitome of good competition.

What we’re saying now: No sign of dislodging Pope yet but Ramsdale will hope for a good run in the League Cup.

123. Jacob Ramsey, Aston Villa to Newcastle

Down 66 places from 57

The Athletic’s reported transfer fee: £44m (with add-ons)

Reported contract length: Five years

What we said then: Very ‘pure profit’, this. Newcastle were short of midfield cover and Ramsey, with his dynamism, athleticism and positive attacking mindset, gives them a fresh option. Injury history is a concern.

What we’re saying now: Hasn’t played since August with an ankle injury.

145. Yoane Wissa, Brentford to Newcastle United

Down 70 places from 75

Reported transfer fee: £55m (with add-ons)

Reported contract length: Four years

What we said then: Was Wissa really worth the hassle and the dough? He probably doesn’t even get in Newcastle’s best XI, however he is a good addition to their forward options in a busy European season.
