On behalf of Daz, that was pretty damn succinct.

I'm more minded to an Ozzy lyric. "Going forwards in reverse."

A great summary of the transfer window, which reinforces my realisation that the many hours of podcast speculation that I’ve listened to over the last couple of months has not been time well spent.

Good summary of the window Dave, and well written.

Quite hard to put too much of a positive spin on the window, but well summarised and as eamonn said succinctly done.
