I know many have said their piece on what they make of our Transfer window whether good or bad on other posts, but I would like to have one place here where everyone gives an honest rating of how they think the window went under certain conditions.
Incomings:
Mingueza - Free
Tomiyasu - Free
Guessand - Loan
Khalaili - 21m
Gozo - 11m
McNeil - Swap
Disasi - Loan
Ahanor - Loan
Chilwell - Free
Timber - 20m
Osario - 2m Loan (26m+add-ons obligation next year)
TOTAL SPEND: 54m on 11 incomings
Outgoings:
Imray - 5m
Lacroix - 52m
Johnson - Swap
Adaromola -.5m
Jemide - .25m
Clyne - Released
Cardines - Loan
Sosa - Loan
Ozoh - 4m
Devenney - 5m
Esse - Loan
Munoz - 22m
(A mass release of younger academy players too long to list)
TOTAL RECEIVED: 89m on 12 notable outgoings
As has been mentioned our failing to find an out and out ready-made replacement for Lacroix which leaves us weaker at the back is reason enough to dock a point off in my evaluation.
McNeil-Johnson Swap IMO although strange is a clever move despite the valuation/on paper quality of each.
Having so many loans could be something that backfires as they are not permanent and won't be here next year, but as of right now it is astute business which freed funds for elsewhere. The best of which initially looks to be Disasi.
Munoz seems adequately replaced by Khalaili.
Chillwell and Guessand returning brings Leadership/experience and familiarity respectively.
All other transfers we can't truly evaluate for one reason or another until much later, therefore obviously the rating of the window is subject to change quite drastically quite quickly.
That being said I think it would be fun to at least get initial thoughts that could be revisited in January, if it turns out to have been a good one, then we may have more confidence and belief in Hobbs and co.
Speaking of which, We have made roughly 35m profit over the Summer transfer window. I can only assume this keeps us well within SCR limits and allows us space to maneuver in January(along with further possible sales of Mateta and Sarr etc.) should this window have failed miserably.
If any information I have provided is incorrect i'm sure I will be corrected, I tried to be as close to accurate as possible while also giving some leeway for variables.
All in all one of our better transfer windows in recent times, at the time of closing not in hindsight!
8.5/10
