Overall I’m happy. This is the start of rebuilding. I’d rather we got the players we actually want in the summer, than force through buys for players we don’t really want now. Maddison out feels right and despite being a top bloke, I’m not sure JW is a big loss.
Gives the likes of Morgan and Shinnie the chance to nail down those spots and more clarity in the squad.
How do we rebuild under the cap? Everyone seems so sure of it, whilst also using the cap as our excuse for lack of quality this year.
Lincoln managed it. Maybe by buying players that are 7under 21 & so don't count in the cap or moving the club 150 miles north to Staffordshire where players don't need £5k per week.
Terrible window for us IMO. 2 potential game changers gone in Williams and Maddison. Bowyer quotes George Graham a lot but I was never impressed with his style of play. Wasn't he the architect of the '1-0 to the Arsenal' teams? You can stick 11 robots out there but where is the creativity coming from.
Just saying it again... we are fairly big net sellers under TS, so far. Just the facts of the matter.
Ins: Conor Washington (Undisc) Alex Gilbey (Undisc) Ben Watson Free Marcus Maddison Free Chris Gunter Free Adam Matthews Free Ryan Inniss (Undisc) Omar Bogle Free
Outs: Macauley Bonne (£2m) Alfie Doughty (£650k plus add ons) Dillon Phillips (Undisc allegedly £500k) Jonny Williams (£200k) Omar Bogle (Free) Marcus Maddison (Loan)
Plus Lapslie and Wiredu out
Neither for fees.

Not sure we can estimate the amounts in or received. Wasn't Schwartz rumoured to be a couple of million? no concrete numbers.

It may not have been the most exciting transfer window but at least there were no last minute disasters and no chancers faking it with their snack tables. On balance, I think we're probably in a better position now than a month ago. Thanks to Thomas for making it possible to at least have a window we could half believe in. Thanks to the management team for doing their best. Good luck to all the players who moved, both joiners and leavers.
I'm just thinking of the poor sods on here who have 50 pages of this thread to read, dilligently ploughing there way through it, reading every post with rising anticipation ...... hopeful that a new signing will be announced on page 183.
A bit like when you read the Match Thread without knowing the score after the game has finished.
