cannot really see how anyone can be dissappointed with the work done there.
only the fact that there are no high profile signings but im afraid this is the SG way and any negative feelings will be quashed by the results this term , IMO.
its clear, regardless of figures mentioned, that SG will not spend for the sake of it and this approach has to be the way forward for the club in the current climate.

some awesome pieces of business (ross for £350k, sam/kasper free) have to be applauded.

as has been highlighted previously we have basically signed a brand new starting 11. this is what many of us felt we needed to compete in this league, but admit it, nobody actually believed it would happen.

bates is a tight cnut
simon is a tight cnut

long may it continue as just compare the squad of today (quality and in particular age/potential-wise) to the blackwell days............ i personally feel better already

good astute signings by larry-he has covered every position with young players with huge potential imo-i for one am very happy and its not just the smoke lol-

IM MEMORY OF THE BEST CAPTAIN AND GREATEST MANAGER IN OUR HISTORY--RIP BILLY AND DON

Very nicely done by the management. I know many people whing about how KB doesnt open his wallet for transfers but in all honesty with the free transfer quality that we have gotten in has proven that his transfer policies are effective as the free transfer market is massive and full of quality at the moment and after everything we have been through as a club over the last 10 years the conservative way is the best way imho.

Kasper signing is especially genius and totally unexpected, he will be the keeper of the season imho.
Ross McCorrmack also should get a mention for 350k as a very great bit of negotiating by the SG/KB team

R.I.P. Gary Speed i will never forget you!

Good note Andy.

I feel that the club have done extremely well in this window. One would find it hard to be critical of the number of players recruited - especially when considering the extent of the outlay.

Personally, I would have loved to have seen a couple of marquee signings - players that would leave even the biggest doubter with egg on his face. Yet, as we all know and understand, this is not Simon's - and certainly not Mr Bates "modus operandi".

However, I am generally pleased that we have acquired the quantity of new recruits I believed were necessary to make an impact at this level, and for reasons of financial dexterity and successful wheeler dealing, I believe that SG has done a very good job with the finances made available to him.

Also, we may yet be pleasantly surprised by potential additions arriving on loan from numerically challenged Premier league clubs.

If they all secure a quick understanding,it could be an interesting season!

I'm more than happy with our new signings. We have bought an entire new team so we now have decent cover in all positions and compitition for places. Our first signing was our marquee signing and although McCormack and Watt arnt marquee signing they certainly are major signings. If we can get davenport and an experienced ex prem player (Faye, Moore, etc) I think we can make a serious push for promotion
