Seriously. How long is there to go and we have 3 deals minimum needing sorted and I still think that leaves are squad woefully short on quality in some important positions like backup RB.I want it all now!

It's a sign we are waiting until deadline day for the bargains that come available e.g. Hart on loan. Just like in Martinez first year we got Rom and Barry but subsequently we go no one. Essentially as per usual our season will come down to deadline day luck.

Maybe under Martinez's watch there was an element of 'deadline day luck' but not under the stewardship of Walsh. We know what we need and dare I say who we want, getting them to commit to us (Witsel, Kone, ghezzal) is the moist difficult part.

Exactly and would anyone allow themselves to be essentially fired and be forced to take a wage cut for their next job if they didn't want to. It's also the reason I have no issue holding on to players that want to move. Of course an compromise that benefits everyone should be sought but there's no reason we should just roll over.

It doesn't look like we got our targets. Maybe in the past we didn't even have targets but it amounts to the same.
Of course the job wasn't made easy this year with the amount in and out we needed and the fact he came late to the job.
I just think this season might come down to luck but hopefully we will be in a better position next summer. It's just really disappointing as this is the last season with a realistic chance of keeping Rom and he's irreplaceable for us no matter what money we have.

Browning is 23 in May, surely he is beyond being classed as a 'kid' now
Deals will be trying to be sorted behind the scenes as we speak, still 12 days to go, just have a bit of faith.
Yeah, it's depressing now that the window's over. What a bummer.

I think the major issue with this window is that we either chased too long a target in the beginning or we didn't chase anyone (if the info was wrong) and these mata carvalio, koulibaby, type signings were ust all talk.
When he hired walsh i reckon we then hit the reset button on the transfer window and started again, looking for specific players. Walsh had Gueye in mind already hence the speed that travelled at, williams out of the blue almost and boliaisie a player Koeman specifically wanted.
I would imagine the issues now are not concluding deals, but we are still looking for the right players, the work that should have been done weeks ago sadly started the day after wlash was employed instead.

I found some re-assurance in RK's comments yesterday about being deliberately late into the market, to allow him assess the squad.
He did, of course, tell us at his first press conference, that he would take this time, and probably wanted to avail of Walsh's expertise as well before targets have been settled on.
I wonder though, if "late" is code for "moving on to other targets" if the intimations of interest we are all familiar with (Witsel and his merry gang) were/are correct. If we had signed all of those, this next 10 days would probably just be about trying to seal a deal for Hart and deciding who is leaving the squad.
I hope they are more confident with landing the 3 or 4 players they are looking at now than they seemingly were with the marquee bunch. Koeman seemed upbeat though, and it should prove to be a busy 10 days.
