Transfer Window - Satisfied or Not?

[olaftab]

We are the fourth highest spenders  in this window  behind two mancs  and the dippers.

Haven't we only spent about £6m in real money though?

I know it's  a disgrace. Lerner out. Fox trot on.

So with less than a week to go, how are we feeling? If you were the boss who would you be trying to get before the lock?

RB - it would sole a positional weakness and take pressure off the CB.

Defenders please.

Net spend is negligible and are still short of quality and experience in the following areas -

RB
CB
DCM
Striker (proven)

£40m in and spend £45m isn't fooling me.
If we don't splash good money on quality players in the above its been an incomplete window

[KRS]

On the evidence so far, we still need a CF, CB and RB...without and we'll be lower half of the table; with and we could be top half.

[Matt Collins]

It has to be a centre forward for me. Strengthen the team before the squad. We've got nobody anywhere near benteke's quality. We can't get someone close to being that good but I'd hope we can get someone better than we've got.

As long as you promise to let the rest of us know when we've been fooled.

Dave, if you'd like an article on it I'll send you a quote

So how would everyone feel if we don't sign a proven goal scorer before the transfer deadline closes tomorrow at 6pm?

We've done some great work dismantling and rebuilding the squad this summer, but I see this as almost a Peter Withe moment with the final piece of the jigsaw missing (forgive the exaggeration!). Personally I think it would be an opportunity lost if we don't sign a goal scorer as we have the makings of a very good team in progress, and our lack of goals could be the difference between a top and lower half position come the end of the season.

[PeterWithesShin]

Even if we don't sign anyone else, overall i'm happy. We still have positions that need strengthening, but let's be honest, you aren't going to fix all the faults we've had for the last few years in one transfer window.

[SamTheMouse]

It's not about the money, though, is it? You can spend 100 million and end up with a load of shit players. Like Spurs.

Or you can scout properly, identify promising young talents available for reasonable fees and secure the club's financial situation for the foreseeable, while remaining competitive on the pitch. Which is what we've done.

It seems fair to say we could still do with a bit of proven quality in central defence and up front, but by and large the squad depth and quality is an improvement on last season, and more importantly, if we can hold on to these new players they look to have good potential.

[Villafirst]

Lescott seems likely. What about a bid for Demari Gray? Certainly one for the future - he'd do well alongside Adama.

[darren woolley]

I'm happy with this window but would like to get Lescott in and fingers crossed a proven striker.

[pauliewalnuts]

I like the players we bought, but think we will struggle to score goals.

I really hope we get a striker in, but at the same time "unsatisfied" sounds harsh.
