It’s really sad how a good window has been somewhat soured by the last few days’ dealings, or lack of. I wonder how non-Blues will perceive it?
Everything since Monday has seemed ad hoc and rushed, with an almost blind belief that we would get the men we wanted; really, it’s our own naivety.
I think non-Blues will see it as a good window. And, objectively, every signing we have made is a good one.
But it's the signing we haven't made that could well be the one that bites us. And it simply should never have been a risk of not happening.
We should have 3 targets for each position. We should not be dragging our business into the last day. Brands knows this.
