As expected, as we've been told by our manager - Has this been the worst transfer window since Wilder took over?
People might say we've strengthened, we haven't. We've stayed the same strength wise if anythinh we're weaker as we've lost any sort of depth upfront and 3 of our key players are getting no older and the old legs become a factor. Leon, Sharp, Duffy.
Henderson = Blackman (some may argue for and against the other, realistically they are a similar level)
Woodburn = Brooks
Egan has been added, early days
McGoldrick > Donaldson
Then we've lost any semblance of depth upfront by shipping out Evans (not that he was good but at least he was a body), losing Brooks and not giving Lavery a squad number. 3 strikers we've got.
We are lacking massively upfront and to not reinvest the Brooks money in this window would be absolutely criminal.
Chris says we can't find anyone to improve us with the budget we have? I for one hope he's only joking. There's better players in League 2 than some of the shite taking a shirt at the minute.
We can't have only had one target in Waghorn and then when we're gazumped on him because... wages, we throw our toys out of the pram and just don't bother.
It was loaning players last time that killed us and if we build our team around Woodburn, Henderson and whoever the striker we'll end up signing is on loan we're back to square one again next summer.
It'll be a case of 'lets make do' until January. Then from January it'll be 'make do' to the summer.
Rinse and repeat, it's the same old tired story we've heard far too often.
(Of course this all changes when we sign Sam Gallagher on a permanent deal later today)
