We can still loan out players to Champ clubs can't we? Better to subsidise his wages surely at one of the relegated clubs then pay the full whack and have him sitting around and not playing at Spurs?

Was that our lot? Isn't that what the Fighting Cock boys were asking our lot to say on Sky.

I'm pretty happy. Gutted that Sandro is leaving but we've brought in some solid pieces especially at the back. If this is a five year plan then this is a great start as we are building a good foundation and will learn Poch's style throughout the year. Then we can add the spark once we have developed our base.

There are some concerning areas, I do think a wing forward and passing midfielder are needed at some point, and we need leadership... But we have signed 5 primarily defensive players which is the one area that people wanted to be fixed. I think its obvious that Poch is building from the back first. As I can only keep saying, a new manager means a season of transition whether you like it or not and its laying the first building blocks over 2-3 years. A solid, functional, cohesive team is what we need more than any new signing currently.

I guess our only hope is the players from last season really kick on, the players we brought on continue to build into valuable roles within the squad and some of the lackluster performers (Townsend) somehow become useful players for us. It's a lot of wishful thinking, but at least we know that we do have a decent coach that should at least be able to turn a few of the busts into bargains.

Really? If Lennon and Townsend are part of any plans, then we are in some serious trouble my friend.

Nobody had ever heard of these players before this window. If aston villa had signed this lot you wouldn't have blinked.

I look forward to January when Adebayor goes to the ACON, leaving us with Kane + Soldado.

We needed to get a slightly younger GK back-up for Hugo, we did. We needed to improve LB options, we did. We needed to improve CB options due to Daws not being good enough and Kaboul's injury issues, we did. We needed better right back cover, we did. We needed someone to fit Poch's system in CM, hopefully we have. Overall I'd say it was a good window. Not all doom and gloom. Shipped some deadweight at last (Obika, Gomes, Fryers, Siggy etc.).

Why some of you lot measure the fortunes of our season ahead by activity in a summer transfer window baffles me greatly.
We went mental last season spending somewhere in the region of 120mil, and then witnessed probably the worst 9 months of football I've seen for over 10 years.
Clamouring for MS and MM 12 months ago were we?? No, didn't think so.
All I know is we simply cannot be any worse than last season, and that keeps me feeling optimistic.

This was talked about on the Fighting Cock podcast wasn't it? They joked about saying someone should do that on air on deadline day.
