    Assume the chances of us now signing Otto (Finnish lad) have gone?
    I did read one poster say that as it would be for our U21s the deadline was na.  But is that true for a loan as well as an outright purchase.
    It would be a development signing so can sign anytime

    Not sure how accurate this is 
    I don’t think it’s accurate. As an example, Millwall’s is out as it doesn’t factor Azeez. Most deals now are undisclosed, and Sky won’t be factoring sell on aspects etc

    I'd summarise this as being a very good window  - we seem to have found some good players for good value and of course have re-signed 3 major players which was critical. Slight down side is we didn't get the RW player which i think we will regret unless the young chap hits the ground running and makes RW his own or Alli does similar- if Junior does that then we have a major talent on our hands but.... The next few months will tell us more as injuries will inevitably hit some of our more fragile players, including some of our new ones. Ultimately, i think this window has gone some way to proving that you don't have to throw big money around to get good players and the perceived gap between clubs in this division is to a certain extent over emphasised by the figures paid. I'm confident we won't end up in trouble at the end of the season and if i were the owners, i'd be very pleased with the way the 'football operation' is going. Now we have to do our bit and get to the games in numbers - saturday was a relatively poor attendance and clearly hasn't gone unnoticed by the club - hopefully just a result of 2 big costly way games preceding it and a bank holiday weekend. COYR!!!

    Number 10 is free
    And it should remain so. Doc as captain has been manfully taking the responsibility of keeping the curse contained but without him to absorb it it's better locked in a box and thrown into the sea

    Jury's still out on our transfer window. Need to see more of Ouma, Alli etc before commenting. Good that we tied down the "big 3" to new contracts. Still think we are lacking going forwards. In all our incomings did I miss the attacking midfielder that is supposed to link defence to the attack ?  Is that Chalobah?  Ouma  ??  Great that we now have wide players who can run at defences, but can they cross a ball ?  Alli had the assist on Sat but I still like a natural winger who can cross with their "right" foot....esp on the run. 

    But I expect I am stuck in the olden days. As long as we score more than our opponents I'll be happy. 

    Currently I'll give it 7 out of 10. Hopefully it will be more like 8 or 8.5 come the winter.

    8.5 / 10 for me. Definitely needed that quality right winger but we did try. I also think that I’m marking it down because there is no real way of assessing whether Mesik and Ouma will cut it. Certainly the former looks like he will but they were educated gambles. Nkeng is in the same boat. Having said that it’s the best window for years.

    Isn't that the case for pretty much every football transfer ever? 
    Not really. Both Mesik and Ouma have never played in English football. There’s not nearly as much to judge the on as the others. Mesik looks good and we’ll find out soon enough about Ouma. Nkeng has at least played English league football.

    TBC Oliver Skipp

    30 outfield players including u21s

    27 players there, assume CS is being left out until next registration, makes it 26

    Far too many. Wasting our money. Everton only have 18 senior players registered. David Moyes is very pleased. He said, "I prefer to work with a small squad".

    JRS is the bigger disappointment. He has the ability but his pace and strength is lacking for most divisions.
    At last someone has the guts to criticise JRS!
    Not the first, there were doubts raised earlier. It maybe good for you to read through all the comments again.  :D
    My bad, I meant JRC.

    So trying to be more positive about the Skipp signing, is he the same type of player as Holsgrove?, if so would it be fair to say he’s a better signing? Based on the fact his pedigree and level he has played at, would this be fair to say? 
    I thought he was the Coventry/Coady, DM, at the base of the midfield type of player but I could wrong.

    is he the same type of player as Holsgrove?   Holsgrove is more attacking, but less solid defending
    if so would it be fair to say he’s a better signing?  If he can get back to his Norwich level, yes.  Otherwise not.
    The other factor is that Skipp is much needed cover/competition for Coventry and Mwamba as defender, whereas Holsgrove would have filled the much talked-about missing 10 space. He is not himself a "10", but we would not need one with him in the team. The downside is that he might not be up to the rigours of the Championship. Skipp should be,

    Sorry to disagree, but you never stopped moaning all season when the plan was to win 1-0.
