8/10

One point knocked off for the likes of Bolasie, Vlasic and Besic still being on the books, and one point rather harshly for not bringing in a striker too.

But it's a very strong 8/10.
 
I've went for 6/7.

Would have been 8 or 9 if knew the details of Mina/Gomes - not a 10 as think we needed a striker.

[Edit] Would say 8 or 9 now...

 
Pleased that the squad was assessed and decisions were made to move players on quickly, still think some more will go on loan.

Great signings for the correct positions, it's so different from last year when there were hundreds of different possible formations posted on here, this year we know more or less our strongest line up.

I also like the way the window has been managed, as discreetly as possible by the club.

What more could you want ?

French international at left back
Columbian international at the back
Potential french international partnering him
Portuguese international in midfield
Brazilian international in attack
Future Brazilian international out wide.

Not to mention we needed to replace positions and we have done all in one window.

I would argue we have done at least 2 windows worth of rebuilding in one. Come January we could just buy the loans outright if they impress and we are sorted for the summer
 

I think 2 things stand out for me this window. First is the quality of the signings. Of course its all on paper at this point, but its 2 brazilians in attack, and 3 barcelona players in defence and midfield, with 1 chelsea player thrown in(If we complete Zouma signing). Second, its how well though out they seem to be. Unlike last year when we needed a LB and striker and got neither, we needed a CB, and got 1, maybe 2. We needed a CM and got one. We needed attacking help and got 2. We needed a LB and got one. We didnt leave gaping holes, and we got players at the positions we knew we needed without loading up on pointless positions we already had settled.
Yep, agree with all that. They’ve had a plan, ID’d their targets and stuck to their guns. Brands deserves a lot of credit for being the driving force behind all this and showed his experience and knowledge.
It’s given us all a huge lift and renewed optimism for the season, a much needed boost for everyone connected to the blues

Wasn’t Jo a Brazilian international?
 
8 or 9 definitely.

In an ideal world we would have gotten a few more out of the door (though that may still happen admittedly) and had deals done a bit sooner to bed in new centre backs. As it stands it looks like it may well be Keane and Jags vs Wolves.

But all in all it's been a great window. Signings in most of the key places we needed and crucially, all the signings are at the right age. Most of them are 25 which is great as they should be able to make a consistent impact now but still have plenty of years in the tank.
