Im Hoping the club haven’t looked at last night and thought actually we’re okay going forward. We are still lacking quality uptop IMO.

A pacy winger is a must.

An injury to BBD leaves us practically toothless and with a lack of pace and quality in forward areas.  AND, it now most likely means that yet another multi-million pound asset walks out the door for nothing. 

Tad disappointed that our two final signings are loans. That 'special player budget' must be going back on ice for now.  Okay, loan to buy 'option' but as we've read millions of times in the last 24 hours and seen with your man last season, there's absolutely no obligation to spend any money. 

Last night's result and emergence of Wharton came at a perfect time for GB and Co.  It completely placated a tetchy, nervous, frustrated fanbase.  The squad isn't great, new players have to prove themselves and I still think we're in for a nervy season.

Can't help but think last night's performance has relaxed a few in regard to this window. I still think we're at least a couple of players short, let's not forget we had our midfield enforcer at RB last night and 2 teenagers in CM.

We may be all done but that can change if we get a big BBD bid

5 hours left. It's been quite a journey.

Hold onto your excitement, but Sharpe reckons JRC is set to stick around.

The 3 previous games wouldn’t have done that though. Zero goals and very few chances.

Probably had a move sorted but misplaced his train ticket or was too slow to react to his Uber arriving

Great....

Sorry if I be missed it , I’ve scanned about 30 pages in 10 mins 

so we’ve signed a defender who can play cm and lb .. is he any good ?
 

Dembele ?? Is that BBD replacement ? 
 

JRC .. I’ve got the car running where does he want dropping off ?

[Paul Mellelieu]

JDT said one, possibly two.  Guess it's one.

[Paul Mani]

I don’t understand those fans who are today upset that we’ve not sold BBD. Sure, if the offer comes in May and the lad isn’t signing a new deal then I’d be all for a sale with time to reinvest and replace….BUT in what world does selling him today benefit us (the fans) or even the manager? The chances of us replacing his goals at this stage are close to zero.

The ONLY people who stand to benefit from a sale today are our owners and they obviously don’t care about the money.

So I will be DELIGHTED if we keep him and if you offered me Dembele (who I rate highly) I’d still prefer BBD who I’m confident will get another 15 goals at least this season.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Bang average window for me at best.  

Hyam and Brittain are decent buys.

Szmodic is a  downgrade on Rothwell. 

Morton may be a good loan, not sure yet. 

The other 2 loans just pad out the squad although Hirst may have something.  

Haven't been able to loan out JRC, Vale or Dolan who all look desperately short of first team quality at this moment of time. 

 

Diaz looks to be staying, which is either great because we'd never replace him, or terrible as we have lost a lot of money on him.

Let’s say we sold him for 12M today and the owners took back 7M, leaving us 5M. 

Do you expect we will have 5M to replace BBD specifically come Summer next year? Not a 5M budget, I mean 5M for one player. 

[roverandout]

I'm slightly underwhelmed that we haven't signed another attacker.  Dembele would have made all the difference.  Still Been a good window but we seriously lack any final third quality if Diaz or dack get injured 

[Gav]

Apparently Fulham bid for Diaz yesterday which was dismissed out of hand, then made exactly the same bid today, which too was dismissed out of hand.

Amateurs.

[Eddie]

I do agree that Dembele would have made this a great window and made our squad undoubtedly stronger than last season.

As it is, we're in decent shape and it's a decent window, but it will rely on a lot of young player (including signings) stepping up. 

[rovers11]

Sounds as though we're done for the day. An underwhelming day in the end but I think we've done OK in the transfer market overall this summer. Not brilliant, but not bad either.

Agree on all points…I’m not sure how people can see it as a good Window.

From where the club was when gb was hired it’s actually been a good window. He has done quite a lot, manager, multiple other jobs plus 6 players. Some of the players are genuine upgrades on last season. Was it perfect god no but when you consider the mess gb walked into it’s gone very well. The January window will be important and a true barometer of his ability but decent start. Just my opinion!!!!!

Think it will be more about FFP and squad registration issues. They'll be loaning him out knowing that he is either a good asset in the Championship or a player that they can resell next summer if they need to.
