    Are we stronger ??

    Basically three out, Roberts, Zarouri and Obafemi, three in, Fofana, Assignon and Esteve.

    On balance I'd say we're stronger for those six deals, the three shipped out were contributing the square root of feck all anyway, so it can't make us any weaker. Whether it will be enough to keep us up, who knows, that's more likely as much in the lap of the VAR gods as in the player's hands.

    CJ Egan-Riley also goes out to PSV Eindhoven. Hopefully we will be stronger after the comings and goings. We will soon find out! Roberts and Zaroury were a key part of our Championship winning team but have fallen out of favour for one reason or another this season.

    Franchi gone back to Italy another wage saved, was a fee involved.

    CJ and Franchi weren't involved with the first team, so while it's important for the players themselves, neither move is going to impact much on our prospects for the rest of the season. When you look at the small print of CJ's move you find he's signed for the PSV U21 squad, so it seems unlikely he's going to be featuring much in their first team.

    I think we are Sinkov - though as with all the other signings can they step
    Up and play at premiership level - I’ve looked at the full back and centre back and they both look competitive - quick and aggressive in their style of play so hopefully they’ll be two good signings.

    We should have got O hare though from Coventry - a midfielder is required.

    Interestingly the other night at city Berge has pace when he builds up a head of steam and carries the ball very well - but when he flat footed from a standing start he doesn’t have the pace to track midfielders who go past him. W

    Great minds army, I was thinking the same thing, he cruises past people with the ball like they're not there, but when someone goes past him it's like he's running through treacle, they're gone and he's not catching them. Bizarre really.

    I think you’ve done some astute business this window and you’ll be stronger for it once the new lads have settled in.

    Yup, we'll sweep all aside in the Championship.
