We
Other Top Six Clubs.
Agree the point being made here.
Who out of the top 6 has made signings far better than ours?
WBA had a good window I'd say:
Johanson - I'd have liked to replace Fleck if he went. He's been sat on his backside at one of the teams likely to get relegated. In contrast to Dowell's 10 goals in 40 odd games for Forest you'd hardly say there was a stellar difference between them.
Montero - a player I liked when at BDTBL for Swansea, but he's also a crock and has been getting splinters most of the season.
Murphy - a 12m signing for another relegation threatened team who has failed to make an impact at the top level.
All offset by the loss of Barnes who they will struggle to replace in terms of impact. In the meantime, as well as Dowell, we brought in 2 strikers who commanded a collective 18m on their last moves.
Leeds:
Brought in Real Madrid's 3rd choice keeper, and failed to get their top target, James.
Norwich:
Brought in a left back, a position they already have a decent player in, from Germany's second division.
Boro:
Signed Obi Mikel from the 14th based team out of 16 in China and Van La Parra, not needed by Huddersfield, 20th in the PL and failed to land any targets on deadline day including including Grosicki from Hull.
Derby:
Signed Andy King from Leicester.
Some decent players in there, but given what we needed, i.e. support for Duffy and potentially goals from midfield (check), a physical presence (check) and a player with some pace and finishing (check) I'm not sure we could have done more without silly money being lavished.
