Could be all our signings bar one or two for the summer too?

Exactly my thinking. If we sign a CF now, plus 2-3 prospects to stay at their clubs now and join in the summer, I don't think we'll sign anyone else.
We're pretty well off for depth, just some fine tuning now. If we get Berahino or Dembele now, then sort deals for Henry, Maddison and Lookman to join in the summer, we'd not need to make any further additions over the summer. It'd just be a case of integrating the 3 new lads, plus a couple returning from loan. We'll have a very well balanced squad full of talent, that just needs to continue to mature. As they do that together, they'll build some really unity and fluidity.

Personally, I'd be more than happy of that's the way things go. The majority of our squad are so young, that they are just going to get better and better with time. Onomah, Bentaleb, Dier, Kane, Alli etc, think how they are now, then add another 6-12 months experience. Likewise, another 6 months for Son and Njie to acclimatise, they are going to grow into a pretty impressive team.

Levy has done it before. bought lennon, dawson, reid, davenport, huddlestone & routledge as prospects in 1 or 2 windows as I seem to remember.
At the start of the window I wouldn't have been too surprised but I'd be absolutely stunned if we signed 4 players before Sunday. I know they're not expensive or big transfers but it's still a lot of business to be done. And let's be fair there's not been the sort of late drama we all enjoy since August 2012 (and don't bring Alli up because that was once in a long time)

So long as the striker we need to come in now is done quick, any others we're looking at for the summer can wait. Just prefer to see them agreed soon as there are rival clubs sniffing around.

Yeh agree it will be a big ask this late in the window but we know levy loves these sort of deals. I'd happy with one or two but would be surprised other than dembele coming in

I hope you didn't put a lumpier bet on Colchester today then....;)

Blimey 2dogs - it was only a reference to the fact you had put a bet on Colchester vs Charlton before! You know, joke....:p
