It is a shame the keeper looks like a real howler as it’s such a key spot in the team
A couple of those in the credit column could be debated, but overall, yeah, a lot more pluses than negatives. However I think the validity of the criticism is summed up in your opening words:
Sweeting getting some stick on here for the keeper thing. People aren't criticising Sweeting in general, or ignoring those good signings. It's just that when the conversation is about the recent goalkeeper ins and outs, then it's fair to be critical of those. And to discuss how much Sweeting and Williamson are to blame for those poor choices. And you shouldn't need to add the positives as a disclaimer each time, as that's not germane to whether the keeper signings have gone well or not.
