Man this really has been a crappy window. How have we let geertruida slip through our fingers. Massively  disappointing

Like risso said earlier 4/10 for me. The club will try spin it that we have depth and its been a good window. I beg to differ if this is the squad going into the season.

Agree, a couple of injuries to key players like Pau and we're screwed. Talk on SSN that Chelsea might try to sign Duran! To me, the squad just looks light up front, RB and CB.

All ot takes for me is ollie, bailey or pau to get injuries and we are in deep trouble. To not even sign a cb after last season is astounding

If onana picks up a injury i think we are in the deeper shit until kamara comes back. I dont expect him back until nov-dec time if we lucky

I’m sure there’s no one at fault other than these ridiculous FFP rules. I guess our hands are tied and we have players we don’t want and nor anyone else.

It’s a case of Emery working his magic again and hoping last years long term injuries was a fluke of nature.

Seems to me that we have loaned out players for the future when we need them now. We must be really close to the line with compliance. How Chelsea and Man City get away with it is breathtaking.

I wouldn't be surprised. If we get a central midfielder in it'll be very odd. Centre-half who can play right-back (or vice versa) is surely the bare minimum needed.

It's wankers like them who pulled up the drawbridge after they had built their commercial operations to stop anyone else coming in and doing what they had done.

Disappointing window.

I would be very surprised if anyone comes in. Deadline day dash isn’t our style.

We always seem to be just missing one or two players that would make the difference.

Best summary I’ve seen. Amazing how gullible some are!

Bearing in mind we weren’t actively looking to sell Diaby I’m pretty staggered that we have bought no one to replace him. I like Philogene, but we’re one injury to Bailey away from a guy who had a promising season in the Championship being a regular starter in the Champions League. Feels like a gap to me.

I feel like from a business point of view it's probably been a good window, but looking at the squad itself it's hard to say. We were extremely unlucky with injuries last season so maybe that's influencing opinions, but we'll have to be extremely lucky with injuries this season, I think.
