worthy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) 11 minutes ago, jack j said: What would you have rated this window under ashley? Still 5. Getting two amazing players in Bruno G and Trippier does not excuse a semi-improved CB in Burn, a slightly better Dummett in Targett and.. Whatever Wood is supposed to be. I think the Wood signing was full on panic and I have no faith in a guy that was in a slump in a team built around him coming here and scoring when we barely cross, and the only good crosser we have is Trippier as of now. We are going to be in the struggle all the way down to the line without the two attacking options and it will show against Everton imo. EDIT: The biggest reasoning for Burn not being great is that we dont have a pacy partner to play him with, and I think that will cost us, badly.

buzz Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 6/10. Seems a harsh score when you consider how amazing Trippier and Bruno are as signings (plus I generally think Targett and Burn are solid), just that the lack of dedicated central defender + pacey striker/support striker is risky.

Conjo Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Happy with the players brought in, just wish they had been brought in earlier. If Howe can't get this squad to stay up, there's no excuses really. I was prepared to let Howe stay on for a promotion run when he signed for us if we got relegated, but now I don't think I'd be satisfied with that unless we are hit by an unusual amout of injuries to key players. Really looking forward to not reading about Jessie fucking Lingard again on here in every thread after the window shuts. Think we dodged a bullett with him. We already have two players who did well for a 4 months spell, never to replicate it again, so I've been quite surprised how sought after he's been on here. It is more likely that he'd be another hard working Fraser/Almiron with little end product than the player we saw for a short spell at West Ham.

1892er Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm at a 7. Disappointed we didn't make some signings but the intent was there. Ekitike knocked us back, we were being held to ransom for Carlos. I think if we had of saved the 25m on Wood and the potential 33m on Ekitike, could we have signed a 60m stirker with that money? Who knows. Depends who was available and who was willing to join in our current plight. Stay up and I think we'll see some really good signings over the summer.

PlymouthGeordie Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I've gone for a 7. We've got some great players (Trippier and Bruno) in but hard not to be a touch disappointed not to get another forward player in. Additionally, at one point it appeared we were going to get both Botman and Carlos so to go from them to Burn is underwhelming. Targett, Burn and Wood are sensible signings that should do a job though. On the whole, I feel we had the ability to eliminate the threat of relegation completely and we haven't done that imo. A Zapata instead of Wood along with either a DM or CB and we'd be safe no problem. I still fancy us to stop up but it'll be close. Still happy with the business done though.

Mazzy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 7/10. One attacking signing off an 8.5 But it's decent and it should give us a fighting chance. The problem is every other club down at the bottom has also improved in some way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is every other club down at the bottom has also improved in some way. Not as much as us, I don't think Norwich or Burnley are any better off with players either. Weghorst might work but its a gamble. If you asked Dyche who he would prefer it would be wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Solid 8/10. Massively disappointed we don't look like adding to our attacking options but our remit was to make our squad at least the 17th best which I think we've done. The rest is on Howe now.

Pilko Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 8/10 for me. That last striker/wide player today would have shifted me to a 9, 10 if it was a blockbuster like Nunez. Bruno will be a transformative signing and we've added proven PL experience throughout the side, as well as upgrading 3 slots out of 4 in the defence. A great effort from the new lot, I just hope it's enough. As you all know I'm still really unconvinced about Howe and he's going to need to knit this all together quickly, the margin for error is very narrow.

TRon Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 6/10 Would have been a 9 if we got a striker, but that's a really big weakness which could still cost us our PL place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 7/10 for me. The extra couple of signings we were aiming for today after Burn and Targett would've cleared an 8 or 9 but you can't fault the club's effort.. And I wonder how long it'll take until I get used to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) The sort of players we’ve went for shows that the new ownership setup aren’t going to settle for making up the numbers or probably just aiming top 10. We’re fighting off relegation and yet still signed two players who are top 4 quality. If we survive, with more willing sellers during the summer window than January, I think we’ll add another 4-5 of that ilk and be pushing for Europe next year. Huge statement of intent for me.

Ken Boon Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 10/10 Trippier and Bruno 7/10 for borrowing Targett 5/10 Wood and Burn. These players ain't impressed me in the past but hopefully they will prove me wrong 10/10 effort from new owners, shame they were fucked about by certain people and clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
