swfc1983 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Just put this in transfer thread so will repeat it here - 9 for me Gotta be happy with that transfer window. Loads of big earners out in summer, talented but unreliable Joao sold for decent wedge whilst we’ve added much needed pace on the wings, a couple of solid centre backs, finally a box to box midfielder, and a decent full back with pace who can also play either side and as winger. Best of all it’s cost us only (rumoured) £1 million plus whatever loan fees. Hector would’ve been great but not at the price quoted. Absolutely no complaints from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonbones Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Don't think anyone can have any issues with the business done. OK, some may have wanted different strikers out before Joao but those funds made way for some very good incoming transfers. You have to give SWFC a 10 on this one, because quite frankly we are heading in the right direction. It would be 11 out of 10, but I kind of wanted a decent left back too.

Caicos Owl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 On the face of it a very good window but let’s see in the next month or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, plus we've got youngsters in with pace. Given where we were 2 months ago I think it's been a very good window for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 8 for me. Gutted about Hector but we’ve bought in some potentially very good players I can’t wait to see playing for us. Shame we didn’t get more out also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Delighted with a lot of business we have done. I think it would have been very difficult to improve on players brought in. WE still have loan slots available so if doing well at Christmas could further strengthen the team. I would give them an eight. Think if we had got one or two more out of the door we may have been able to get MH in and possible more. Think we have best squad in terms of balance we have had for Championship.

Inspector Lestrade Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 A little concerned that we haven't replaced Hooper and Joao, with the introduction of the new wingers I guess it will be hoped they pick up the slack. Shame we couldn't get Hector over the line but overall fairly happy with today's signings. DC does love a good window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 7/ 10. Would have been a 9 if we got Hector and got rid of a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I will go for 9. Shame we missed out on Hector but I think that is actually a positive, would love to have him back but DC decided the price was too steep and walked away. Well done Mr C you are learning Shame Winnall and Rhodes didn't get moved on, same with Van Aken and Fox. We didn't sort out the LB position to my satisfaction but maybe Odubajo will fill that spot. Incomings excellent on paper. Harris looks the business, Borner has impressed so far. Odubajo, got a good reputation but he's still got to prove himself, very early days so can't expect too much. Todays signings are as good as we can reasonably expect. They strengthen us where we need it and give the squad more depth. I'll reserve judgement on whether they are great signings until they settle into the side and show us what they can do. DC is becoming a bit of a hero, if he can get the right manager I might give him a round of applause at the next forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZicoSterland2 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) 8 only missed a left back and maybe a pacey forward , cant moan big strides made. If Bullen managed this window maybe he is the man for the job. Edited August 8, 2019 by ZicoSterland2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlinexile Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I would say an 8 given the circumstances of being in an embargo and no manager. We have brought in some decent players - Luongo and Harris especially look like good acquisitions. We have made a decent profit - Joao will no doubt come good and end up a £20million striker now, but that can't be helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I can’t think of a better transfer window we’ve had. Not it only has it balanced the squad but also balanced the books! Top marks to recruitment team and Chansiri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sham67 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 8/10 would have been 11 if we'd landed Hector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Kept Westwood, Lee, Palmer. Got rid of a lot of expensive deadwood. Sent Onomah back. Got and kept hold of Rhodes. Sold Joao for a fair sum. Brought in pace and width. Harris (better than Arrons) and Murphy (better than Boyd). Strengthened midfield with Luongo. Surely going to be better than Abdi and Jones. All good stuff. One negative: missed out on Hector (but at £5m, I'm glad we did). But to counter this, we strengthened defence with Borner, Obubajo, and Bates. And Kirby out on loan. Maybe more to follow next week. Overall. 8/10. Couldnt have expected much more considering FFP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 8/10 Hector seems to have turned into Thiago Silva on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
