Guest Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 9/10. Quality over quantity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 With our business almost certainly done, it's an 9/10 from me. I came into summer really wanting a midfielder and a right winger, we didn't get either and I'm still delighted. If we add three or four players per window and one to two of those are of Champions League quality, we'll quickly progress, that's exactly what we've done. Like Bruno, Botman and Isak are absolute game changing signings that I never dreamed we'd be able to attract at this stage in our evolution. Throw in Pope and Targett who significantly strengthen the back like and that rounds off a really tidy window. Yes we're a bit short in midfield and still lack a bit of quality up top, but that will come in future windows. Quality over quantity is a good approach in the long run. We've also managed to shift loads of deadwood with the Clark, Fede, Hayden, Longstaff, Hendrick, and Gayle all shifted from the wage bill. The only two blemish was losing Dubravka, but he clearly wanted away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 8/10, love all our incomings, slight disappointment we didn’t manage to shift Murphy on a loan and bring in a RW but overall, delighted with our progress and can’t wait to just properly enjoy the season now.

MrRaspberryJam Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Fucks sake I posted in The Prophets window thread but wish I posted in this one now. There's been a lot more effort put into this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 8. One more addition of quality would've made it 10, a stop gap loan a 9. It's been fucking great, though. Botman and Isak now play for us, man. Some of the brightest talents in Europe FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Great window. Compare ours to City when they got the big money and started signing players like Benjani and Roque Santa Cruz. We do everything smart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 8/10. Needed a RW of the same quality as ASM to give us a huge chance of top 6. We're so close, so there's frustration there. Another body in CM would have been ideal as well. But, look at this shit compared to 12 months ago. Fucking so good to have our club back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 8/10. + Dubs stays: 8.5 + Murphy goes: 9 + Willock upgraded: 9.5 + Almiron upgraded: 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBingo Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Signing players like Isak and Botman at this stage is phenomenal business whichever way you look at. Pope and Targett big upgrades on what we had too. Yes, we're a bit short of bodies & quality but they will know that. I'd rather they hung on for targets they've researched, than splurged money on any cunt. We'll obviously go again in January. 8/10 Edited September 1, 2022 by UncleBingo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 9/10 An 8.5 rounded up 10/10 for effort and that's everything I care about tbh. Would only have been better had we signed Diaby or Harrison and Dubravka hadn't been a big baby. We signed the left back we all love, a 'keeper who already makes me feel completely calm, our first choice CB who looks class, and one of the hottest prospects in world football. We also brought in Dan Ashworth and a highly rated CEO. It's been brilliant. People worrying about this that and the other just need to step back, realise we can't do it all in one go, and maybe learn to enjoy the ride a bit more, this is supposed to be fun.

Kanj Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I suspect a RB, CM, and Winger are the priorities next window or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mofo Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 9/10 Fucking outstanding business! Pope, Botman and Isak I'm proper buzzing with the quality of players we have signed! Would of liked a CM but compare this to the years of shit we have had I'm very pleased!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) For me it's 8/10 and i'm even being a bit harsh as we have left ourselves slightly vulnerable with a lack of quality depth, which i've no doubt will come in time. Absolutely nobody on here knows for sure the financial conditions we operate under. I mean, this summer's window was the first one where we even had a technical/sporting director and a CEO, the prior window we had the owners doing everything. Think it's been brilliant and we even have one of the absolute top young strikers in world football at our club now, imagine that at any point over the last 15 years man.

Whitley mag Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Botman and Isak 2 of the most promising young stars in Europe, both signed and we’re not even in Europe. 11 for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 8 Pretty sure I'd have gave it a 9 if we'd signed Isak about now instead of last week if that makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
