We have let 14 players go - most of them on loan - but there has been a few 1st team players such as Sol, Mowatt, Chaplin and of course Dike who was only here on loan.

We have brought 5 players in:

Cole - who looks short of confidence but the bit I’ve seen of him - especially his speed - he’s going to be a good acquisition.

Benson - a fabulous signing. A player in the Danny Drinkwater and Ben Pearson mould - a player only a few years ago we would only get on loan.

Leya - video clips of him look impressive - not very tall but a strong quick striker - but we will have to wait and see.

Gomes - (loan) again video clips of him look impressive. A young midfield player that covers every inch of grass - very much reminds me of a young Kante.

Obbi - video clips of him look great. A 6’5” striker. IMO this is the most important and exciting signing of this window. If the backroom staff can get this guy up to speed then he will transform the team.

Conclusion.
We didn’t get the experience in midfield that Schopp has spoken about - and neither did we get the left wing back.
But IMO - other than the absence of experience in the squad we now have strong cover in every other position - except one - target striker.
We have only 2 tall strong strikers at the club and if one is out injured or suspended ie Morris then that leaves us with just one - Obbi.
Fingers crossed Obbi can fill the boots left by Dike.
The club needs to recognise that this is an important part of the squad and as such there should be an adequate number of players (3?) that are able to do that job.

In saying that about the target strikers - the club has held on to its priced assets of Styles and Helik etc etc.
The club (Paul Conway) said they weren’t going to sell - and they haven’t !!!
We have also paid out decent money for players brought in (compare that with other clubs like Birmingham that have brought in a shed load - and all of them on loan.

IMO it’s been a fabulous transfer window and as a consequence of that we now have ….
THE STRONGEST SQUAD IN MY LIFETIME.
