Good transfer window. Alright, no defenders, but Sandgaard said he would rather risk losing 3-4 than 0-1. We might be going back to the 4-3 on a Friday night days, or even rival the mighty Rochdale. 5-5 is going to be the new 2-2.
I remember Bowyer saying he was after wide attacking options and a box to box midfielder. DJ clearly is the first, not sure Smith is box to box
Seems very similar to the level Kirk is at, and I’d have been delighted with him.
Finding myself pleasantly surprised on deadline day for once. Great business.
As Kirk is a LW if we don't go up he should be a priority in summer if he's still looking a decent option.
Especially as we can't count on Millar being here next season. It would be nice if he came back, if he likes it and Liverpool don't want to test him at a higher level it COULD happen but unlikely.

Unless we were hoping to sign 2 players. Wanting Morris ahead of this guy is a bit baffling.
I don't believe Morris was ahead of him, I reckon Randall and Kirk may have been ahead but once we were priced out we sent for DJ and Morris was the Parker type signing. There is no way I believe Gallen and Bowyer thought Morris would have been a better option than Diallang, goes against what we are meant to be after.
I think the recruitment deserves a lot of praise, we had genuine targets with 3/4 back up options, we moved on players Bowyer didn't want, Stockley will show his worth imo, Millar already has shown signs.
A very decent window for us, especially little things like getting a buy back for once on a player like Wiredu
I am very excited personally for the summer window based on our signings this window
Very happy with that, felt he had a real swagger about him at the Valley, was walking around like he owned the joint and had some excellent footwork. Big fan of players who have that Taylor-esque confidence about them.
I can't say I have watched most of the players we were linked with but of the 2 times I've watched this lad you could tell he was one of their better players. Jaiyesimi and Millar on the wings will be fantastic to watch.
Well done to the club I would say, Maddison didn't fancy it, Williams was never gonna be a player to take us forward and now we have a younger player who I imagine will play a lot of games for us and have more influence.
Welcome to the biggest club in South London Diallang
Bloke signed off his fairwell tweet with a video of his highlights. I’d call that confident bordering on crass.

Did he? Most recent tweet I see is a tweet response to Darren Huckerby on January 9th!

The tweet you're referring to is a pinned tweet from last May after clubs voted to end league 2 early and Swindon were awarded the title.
He was on loan at the time so was thanking Swindon fans for his time at the club. Then Norwich released him and he ended up back there on a permanent deal.

Given the contract length and age, I'll guess Morris was more a "this season" signing with jaiyesimi being a long term plan that we brought forward to get a needed position in.
Not a bad January tbh Millar is definitely an upgrade on Maddison and this boy should make Doughety's departure unnoticable.
Would have been nice to have kept Williams for a natural CAM when playing the diamond but said months ago he'd be off in this window so not a massive surprise. Millar/Morgan to play there when we go diamond.

Ah fair enough then. My mistake.
Don’t back down, now Maddison is gone we need a new scapegoat and I think you’ve just found it!

Both from Southwark. Both Nigerian. Only 5 years difference in age. Other than that, not sure.
To be honest on Instagram and One of our academy lads will post something and you will get another player from elsewhere with no apparent links commenting like they are close mates. Could be anything
Happy enough to get happy enough to get this late signing over the line. Think we are much stronger after what has been a good transfer window. Let the good times roll.

And that the intention was to address that in the January window.
Particularly with Millar and now DJ, that's been delivered.
Kirk would make a more than decent alternative.
