    Very surprised we didn't make a permanent signing, along with ownership of the ground and training ground I'm a bit uneasy as to what ESI are really about

    Was loving the tweets earlier when I thought they were going to walk the walk ,but to hint at "super dupa" signings and the like and to come out with "meh"-to-"not bad" loans looks silly. Would have had the view of "fair play, we've kept Taylor, a few loans to tide us over and keep us up, let's see what happens in the summer" before the mouthing off, now I'm coming out of the window disappointed.

    If you take off the rose tinted glasses of new owners that’s an awful window. Highly doubt it’d be an awful lot different under Roland. Southall looks incredibly stupid.

    jury’s still out for me.

    Lets just remember they’ve  spent absolutely zero on players.

    Funny enough Tom Carroll just released by Swansea, would deffo take him if we didnt just sign 4 midfielders

    Good signings but keeping Taylor is the big win.
    Southall is a bit of a worry in my eyes. Bit of a car salesman? 
    Still, hopefully Bowyer and Gallen will educate him. He’s pretty new to this and the intentions are good I suppose.

    Think yourselves lucky that MS had his "mega deal phone" with him as he said on Twater ,fuc k knows who we have ended up with if he had his normal phone.

    If not for Matt over-selling it and losing Connor, this would have been on okay window.

    So who doesn't make the squad from the loan players when they're all available?
    Who ever is not fit or does not work hard enough. Simples.
    Reckon the order could be (not necessarily starting):

    Cullen | Smith | Davis | Green | McGeady | Field

    Of course it'll depend on who is available, who the opposition is etc.

    So are we done tonight? 

    Taylor can still sign for Rangers in the next 50 minutes

    Apparently the fella who won the free tickets from Southall earlier has sent them back!
    Just to clarify he responded saying he has a season ticket, would like something else lol cheek of it
    He should send him all the empty crips packets and 7 up cans.

    I dont think we are a stronger squad after that!! I really really obviously hope we stay up but after that transfer window I'm proper worried!!!
    Gallagher and Leko left. Kayal and Ledley played less than 300 minutes between them.

    We've signed Green, McGeady, Davis and Smith. Of course it's a stronger squad.

    People are also overlooking the fact that before all the injuries we were a decent side in the top half of the table and now we have most of those players back. It's not as if we were a struggling side that needed a lot of improvements, we already had a decent squad.

    Considering some of the stupid offers being touted this window eg. Toney for 10m and loaned back for remainder of season, I think Gallen/Bowyer/Southall have done a decent job. 

    They've replaced those we’ve lost, and turned down any offer that came in for Taylor. 

    Current players seem to be returning from injury weekly now.

    A stronger midfield for remainder of the season will certainly help our defence out and stop us conceding once or twice a game.

    Look like we have plenty of creativity and strength in the midfield now. 

    If - and of course it’s a big if - we can get Bonne and Taylor on the pitch at the same time for majority of remaining games, I don’t see us finishing in that bottom 3.

    Good transfer window, but spoiled by MS, who hyped and raised hopes when he didn't have to. (Dick)
    Taking it all far too serious mate no?Insulting an engaging new chairman?! Good window. Bowyer now has a fuller squad to manage, and options as players get back to fitness. We have a good set of players that can take on any team in this league when they are fit. Some people on here seem to want to replace the lot of them! How naive. Awaiting any late late shock news but Taylor staying is not to be under- appreciated too. Really, what is not to like? Looking forward to tomorrow.

    Soooo 

    Phillips

    Matthews/Solly Pearce/Deji Lockyer/Sarr Purrington 

    Cullen/Smith Davis/Pratley

    Green Williams/Oztumer/Aneke Doughty/McGeady

    Taylor/Bonne/Hemed

    Just that right hand side without the cover. Who players there if no Green. Williams I guess?

    Fairly underwhelmed after the hype of this morning to not make any permanent signings, and nothing up top. I worry whether we have replaced the goals that Gallagher and Leko provided, and that we are really dependant on Lyle staying fit, especially if we go to 4231 or 433

    Can't help thinking that all 3 of the loan signings we made today were ones which could have gone through sooner if they were targets we especially wanted, as NONE of them were first team regulars

    Should point out Davies is a good signing and had we signed him and a striker I would have been delighted.

    My only frustration is that we haven't signed the striker I feel we really need to make sure we dont go down

    I’d say losing Taylor, Phillips, Doughty and possibly Bowyer would be an awful lot different. And that’s how it would have looked under Roland today.

    There it is.

    Don't mind admitting I was suckered in to thinking there was gonna be at least one show stopper signing, but as has been explained by others, January isn't generally when the big deals happen. Reckon MS should maybe wind it in a little bit and  can see him getting a couple comments at the game tomorrow. He'll learn...

    On reflexion though, Bowyer etc have signed, 3 new bodies have come in, LT hasn't gone and RD has.

    I'm not convinced that any of us know what any of threse 4 signings are capable of with the possible exception of McGeady, even less when they play together and in a team with the likes of Taylor and Williams, Field and Cullen.

    I look forward to some good partnerships forming there.

    We aren't going to get promoted this season but now I really don't think we are going to be relegated and we could be in for some entertaining football.  

    And that will do me.

    I think McGeady will chip in with goals as much as Gallagher. Green has opened his account and needs to be at least as effective as Leko. With Williams and McGeady in the team we will make chances. Keeping Lyle and getting Bonne fit ought to be just enough to keep us up.
