Hogwild
Player Valuation: £30m
With about an hour left to go:
The positives - on the whole we signed good players at reasonable prices (which in a world where prices have gone mad is a real plus). We might finally have an answer at Striker.
The negatives - no matter how you cut it, failing to bring in a center half and a winger is very poor.
Have we gained on those above us? Probably not, have to assume Kean will need some time to adjust. It is a shame to because it feels like there was an opportunity to do so.
Have we lost ground to those equal to or below us? Probably not.
So all in all an okay window bolstered by the fact we did nothing stupid (unless we sign Rojo for 25m) and acquired an exciting, young striker.
Worth wetting the bed? Absolutely not.
Reasonable to feel we should have done more? Absolutely.
