As I understand it we can still sell to countries whose window is open e.g. Russia , Portugal and buy and sell from the championship - so still some hope.

For me a successful window would have been a new young centre back and Sakho gone, purely as we seem to be one of the few clubs affected by FFP.
Meyer gone for the same reason and Roy doesnt use him, may be hard to shift though.
Wickham and Benteke replaced by players who can contribute goals.(more than 3!)

Id like to see us add the option of creativity though the middle as otherwise we are very one dimensional going forward, maybe Riedewald can do that but Roy would have to change formations and he doesnt seem to like the central idea.

So I'd give it a 5 out of 10 so far.

That'd do it.

Well my friend from the redneck state of Australia, who would consider me a leper currently, because of my location.
You have spat the dummy have'nt you. Football is a game played my 11 players with a god given talent.Not a religion.
So our illustrious leader and his minions have not provided a quality of football to meet your high standards this week.
Chelsea as you no doubt know is owned by an oligarch that could buy Crystal Palace, build us a magnificent stadium along Crystal Palace Parade out of his petty cash and buy any player he needs.
However, he will not be doing that and we are stuck with a man who has been a loyal supporter of the Eagles since he was a child and put his money where his mouth is for our club. This entitles him to some respect. Your tome shows me you do not deserve such respect.
If your friend enjoys your company maybe you could join him where you can enjoy weekly success and buy any player that you need.
Oh I forget you are in the Sunshine State.

What absolute bollocks

Well said.

We needed a right back and we got one.
We needed a striker and we got one. (Albeit on loan)
We have Mitchell now to give us two left backs.
We signed Eze who is an absolute class act.

We were never in for Brewster or Watkins and Benrahma was only an option if Zaha left.

Good transfer window in my book and I didn’t expect much more.

Wilshire is on a free I would take him on a season deal with a pay as you play contract. He claims he is fit just not been played.

One more point

I guess our ideas of moving forward are a bit different.

My dream is that the we get through the impact of that mad couple of seasons when we offloaded everyone to fund the purchases of Benteke and Sakho (when we did actually buy the players that we were all bleeting about) and ended up with Zeki Fryers playing on the left, without being relegated and we can get back to signing some exciting prospects.

Keeping Zaha for another season was a massive win. He is worth 12 points to us. Whereas Sakho always gives a chance, Benteke always misses them and Meyer probably needs one.

When Zaha and Roy leave, if we are in a position where we don’t have Benteke and Sakho and Mitchell, Ferguson and Eze (and maybe Meyer) are playing to their potential then we might just be able to survive and kick on in the Premier League.

Until then, I start my seasons hoping for 12 wins and a few draws, nothing more or less.

In terms of our expenditure on transfers, since the start of the 2017-18 season our Net Spend to-date is probably in the region of £10 Mill.
