So...here's the current list of ins and outs from NUFC.com

Inbound:
Christian Atsu bought
Florian Lejeune bought
Jacob Murphy bought
Javier Manquillo bought
Mikel Merino loaned (with option to buy)
Joselu bought

Outbound:
Vurnon Anita released
Sammy Ameobi released
Yoan Gouffran released
Haris Vuckic released
Lubo Satka released
Florian Thauvin sold
Kevin Mbabu sold
Matz Sels loaned
Adam Armstrong loaned
Daryl Murphy sold
Ivan Toney loaned
Emmanuel Riviere released
Siem De Jong sold
Grant Hanley sold

I'd rather have added Colback and Saivet to the 'out' list too and the less said about the omissions from the 'ins' list, the better.

As for the actual 'ins' I'm happy with Lejeune and Merino; given the way he's started and the need to grow a sqaud then signing Atsu looks ok. I honestly don't know enough about Murphy and whilst the mackems swear that Manquillo was utter shte for them he's proved to be ok-ish cover thus far. Joselu looked decent the other day too.

Our lack of a proper LB, a creative player for the next time Shelvey fucks up or a striker to take the weight off Gayle-both physically and, it would appear now, mentally-is going to come back and bite us on the arse, imo.

As for the released list, Mbabu seemed a very strange one and I would have kept Vurn rather than buy Manquillo. De Jong, too, although all the negatives that have been pointed out about him mean I'm less bothered than I was.

So, I reckon out of 10?......... 4 (I was going to give a 5 but.....ah, i dunno. We should have done so much better. Maybe a 5?

Over to you.
