Based on last January and also our fears of what might have happened this window, we've come out in a very healthy position. Despite not getting the centre half we could have done with I'm pleased we weren't held to ransom by Watford. We made a final offer we deemed suitable and didn't go back after that, on deadline day many clubs would have buckled, I'm confident we'll add a quality cb in the summer, hopefully Douglas after he gains his Dutch citizenship.
Having said that, given how slow not just yesterday seemed to have been but the window as a whole, I can't help but wonder if we just didn't get any enquiries for the players we didn't want to lose.
But I don't want to end this on a non positive note, so...Papiss Cisse! Seemingly our top target from the summer and, yet again, we weren't held to ransom then when a deal couldn't be struck and have picked him up for reportedly less than £10m. I really like the way we're doing business lately.
For any of you disappointed we didn't add a cb, imagine we'd not signed Pap until yesterday, I'm pretty sure we'd all be on cloud nine about now. Despite recent concerns about the back four I cannot remember the last time I was this excited about the quality of the squad we're assembling.
