Personally I am gaining more and more respect for Hughes, he doesn't have much to work with, but in my opinion he is doing a sterling job.
Selling Kuqi, who to be honest i will miss for his attitude and efforts, for £2.5m is amazing business, I am sure he would have hoped to have signed another player in the window. Who knows something may have fallen through at the last minute. But with Tugay back I can see us winning out next game at Sheff Utd and getting our season started.
Nonda may well turn out to be a quality signing, or may not be the same player he was hyped up to be - thanks to the beauty of the loan deal we are in pole position if he does turn out good.
I am positive that come the Jan window the club will assess whether we are in a position to push for a higher position and hopefully gamble on another signing, or if we are out of europe I can see us keeping the same lot of players till the end of the season.
