Thanks: Gave 206, Got 407 | Were you satisfied with your club's transfers this window?
Obviously excepting Man €ity, who attempted to sign all the strikers in the world in a sure-fire attempt to win the Premiership  , were/are you satisified with how your club did deals during this transfer window?
Give your vote, followed by your club and a reason or two why your gave your vote please!
EDIT: please also include your start of season expectations of league finish before your club's transfers and also your revised expectations after all signings have been concluded.
Thanks

I am an Aston Villa fan.
I am on the whole happy with our signings. We were/are a little light at the back and as long as we eventually sign Dunne, as we are reported to be able to tomorrow, then I suppose I will be happy.
I would liked to have signed another adventurous midfielder, as I don't really believe we have directly replaced either Barry or Laursen, although I think that we potentially have players that could grow enough to fill their respective boots in Fabian Delph and possibly Ciaran Clark.
My start of season expectations before all the signings was 8th, but with the signings I believe we can repeat last season's 6th.

He is one of the most respected chairs in the league? Don't get me wrong, you are big club but you don't have the pulling power of the big 4 (or 5 these days) to get the stars to sign.
I am a Bolton supporter and it has been pretty disappointing. We have strengthened in area's we needed but paid too much for them. That left us seriouslt short of the cash needed to get a decent striker and more importantly an attacking midfielder/playmaker to supply the front and add goals. My optimistic side says we will be lower mid table again, my negative side thinks we may well slip into oblivion.

As a Watford fan i am not to happy- selling all our best assets- Smith, Priskin, Williamson etc etc...and weve only bought in a couple of players, really worried about the rest of the season now...

I'm sure Sky weren't - they were so excited about today and nothing much happened. They had reporters posted around the country, outside grounds and training camps but nowt!!
Loved the interview with Harry Redknapp - he said that about 95% of what Sky tried to claim was goign to happen around Spurs was all nonsense. Yet SSN pushed all these all day to claim they were in the pipeline.

I've said no as i hoped Arsenal would sign an experienced Holding midfielder, although seeing Songs performances so far im slowly starting not to worry so much.

Hull City ballsed their window up yet again...I can't wait to get off the merry-go-round and watch proper football in the Championship again.

I would say no. Phillipe Senderos, who has fallen out of favour big time at Arsenal, was reported weeks ago on the official Swiss FA website  as going to Everton yet went nowhere. He's now falling stock having not featured in a single squad so far this season and was valued at £6m-ish
And Wenger signed nobody else but that's hardly a shocker!

Hull put in a Mickey Mouse offer for Senderos and it was batted away as with all our other transfer "opportunities".

I voted no - Benitez sold one key player and has replaced him with a man who won't be for fit for the first 7 or 8 games of the season. Throw in no back-up for our only striker of quality and the lack of funds coming from the owners and all in all it's been a pretty poor transfer window for Liverpool where the majority of the time has been spent battling against big name exits.
The only silver lining is the amount of players who signed new contracts and that Barca didn't get Mascherano.
Johnson does look quality though and given the inflated nature of the market right now, i actually think he represents fairly good value for money.

One surprising and under-reported fact about Man City's transfer window was that while we signed 8 players, we sold, released or loaned around 26!  A much more manageable squad now, but (hopefully) higher quality. I have never known a transfer window like it.
