We've had a very poor window so far, there's no doubt about that. I'd give it a 2 out of 10. In the main, it's cheap punts from abroad whilst seeing experienced championship players go through the exit door. Oh and not a single new contract in sight for 3 of our best players. Brittain and Trav will likely leave this summer, Tronstad next summer. We continue on our downward spiral and the destination will be league 1 again at some point. Think we may be OK next season with Sheff W and Hull in disarray, but we're well on the path to league 1.

They get £20m for Hackney...we got £20m for Wharton who will become one of the best midfielders in the prem. Oh to be a well run club. And barely a penny of the Wharton money re-invested whereas I bet Boro re-invest 50-75% of that fee.

Absolutely no chance. Been linked with Monaco for €5m. Not a chance he's coming here.

Currently strong in defensive areas (but with Brittain set to leave), strong CM (but with Trav likely to leave), very weak attacking options. De Neve, Tyjon, and Kargbo totally unproven at this level, Ohashi is good, Gueye a handful but very erratic and will never be a regular goal scorer, Leonard an injury write off, Cantwell is talented, and Hedges is simply not good enough. We've lost 5 attacking players over the summer - Dolan, Weimann, Dennis, Cozier-Duberry, and Woodrow (albeit the latter 3 completely ineffective and offered nothing). We absolutely need 3 more attacking additions - RW, ST, AM. Presume Baradji will replace Trav, and then it's 3 additions on top of that. 4 if and when Brittain goes.

He's quietly building a good team there but it also feels like they're taking a gamble with some big money signings. He's added two quality defenders, championship experience all over the pitch, solid additions up top, and a wild card from the US. They've had a far, far better window than we've had by a long way and will finish in and around the top 6 next season with Eustace in charge. Top manager whether we like it or not.

Absolutely! He's a limited player who would have struggled in the Premier League but I think he could do OK over in Spain, particularly against the lesser teams. I don't blame anyone for wanting to leave Rovers tbh. If we're brutally honest, it's been turned into an average, poorly run championship club with no ambition other than to develop young players. The wages are on the lower side too for a team in this division.

Good move for Dolan. I think he will do well there and is able to test himself at a higher level on a significantly increased salary. Objectively, you can't blame him for not signing a new deal here. Us getting a lower amount in compensation makes no difference at all. None of it would have been re-invested into the squad, it would have gone into running costs.

I would say we're currently weaker than our squad last season, but not significantly (yet!). The 'bigger' deals tend to be done towards the end of the window when the better loans become available and prices drop for the better players. So many unknowns yet, but Brittain will almost certainly leave and prob Trav too. That makes us significantly weaker than last season. Can we compensate that by being stronger in attacking positions? We need two attacking additions - RW and ST. The attacking players generally make or break your season. I do like the look of Kargbo and Tyjon. Think they'll add a lot to the attack next season. Ohashi could easily bag 15+ goals.

Sorry, meant RB!

Sorry, I meant signing a CB who can play LB in the interim until Jones is back fit. We need a CB anyway.

I'd still sign him. Cracking player for the long term. CB who can cover LB in the interim.

Nicko saying story not true. No deal agreed. Personally think he'll end up at Boro rather than Derby. Surely Derby will be in the same position as Sheff W and Hull next season. They are gambling big time.

I'd personally steer clear of the Baradji signing and look elsewhere. It's a lot of money by our standards and there are too many red flags re: his fitness and injury status.

500k for an experienced championship centre half who, in Hull's fans words, was one of their stand out performers last season looks like very good business. Proven at this level, albeit a steady eddie type. I don't think Hull would be selling him for that kind of price if they weren't in the predicament that they're in.

Good shout. Think that's spot on and will likely be the approach. In fact, getting Sanderson back may not be a bad idea given we need championship experience and leadership to balance up the 'riskier' signings we've made so far.
