Way too early,but so far I like our signings.
Denis has been good,very useful player to have
Umtiti has been a natural fit,gr8 signing
Digne is very good back up LB we have missed for a long time.
Jasper hasn't played enough,but overall I think he is very good for a back up GK,was unlucky with his inury as I think he could have had couple of extra games without it.still probably overpaid for a GK
Gomes & Paco will determine how good our summer.I think if one of them lived to his potential then this is a gr8 summer.Gomes showed glimpses of talent and he has a lot of tool and probably a bit unfair to call him a flop.
Paco has been trying hard but he has been unlucky so far,I still believe as a player he is a big upgrade on what we had last year but he isn't shown that so far. He is playing like Sandro when he was here while Sandro himself playing like Paco when he was at Valencia

Don't think that looking lost doesn't mean he didn't try hard. Munir & specially Sandro for that matter tried hard and looked lost too.
So far, Paco has made me miss Munir, a lot. Hope to see better.
Umtiti is a gem, a major find.
Denis is still developing, but he looks like a Barca midfielder. I think he will be in the first team for many years.
Gomes, don't know. He's only 23.
Digne, needs to not get beat so often marking man to man.
Jasper, has not looked too good in very limited playing time.

You're welcome
[MENTION=2]Bojan[/MENTION] BBZ put it in the Luis Enrique thread.
Would rate the signings so far 5.5/10 and could raise depending how some develop.
Overall I think the forum is overreacting to the signings. It's far too early to tell if this has been a bad or good transfer policy. We will probably know in January-February.

Imo:
Umtiti 8
Gomes 6
Denis 6
Digne 5
Paco 2
Cillessen -
Overall judgement for now: we spent too much money for depth and we didn't improve too much for now (only Umtiti is an improvement).
Other players are only squad players for now. It can change, though.
If other 5 players won't improve soon, I can see our team spending big again in this summer of 2017 and in a summer of 2018.
Especially if we'll have dry seasons in terms of trophies.
Also, in that case, a club probably won't buy 6 youngsters with potential anymore, but 2-3-4 already proven players for huge amounts.
We tried to risk this time, if the risk won't turn out good, we'll return soon on splashing money on proven, expensive players.

From 0 to 10
Umtiti 9 - Pure greatness, some mistakes sure but overall a VERY positive signing.
Digne 7 - To me he's shown a lot of quality for LB rotation. He's made some decent crosses to the box also but sure he's no Alba when going forward.
Denis 7 - Sevilla match was great. He's also shown glimpses of the good potential before, so I'm anxious to see what's in store for him.
Gomes 6 - Seems so slow on the ball that he's a real threat against high pressing teams. Has played some good games when positioned as a CDM.
Paco 2 - Makes me miss Munir or even Sandro, I'm just hoping for someone who makes better runs and is available on the wings too.
Cillessen ?

Umtiti-8 great attitude , i'm not sure about his " finesse " .. abidal didn't have it and acquired it later hope umtiti too
Denis- 8 good .. but arda is stealing his minutes .. i blame the manager for that
Digne 7.5 reliable back up
Gomes 7 he has the package he needs to take initiative ..
Cillesen - ( not given enough minutes )
Paco - ( not give enough minutes )
