Not wanting to be overly positive but.
Could we pull off one of our best transfer windows for a long time?
Duran and Hogh both look good players and fill the gaps we had.
Hassan coming in fills the gap at RW.
Baur and Genitis (sorry for spelling) to cover for Engels and Reo leaving.
Still hopeful for a keeper/ LB cover/ RB if Johnston leaves and could we push another winger?
The model hopefully looks to be changing and they are going to start bringing in a higher Calibre of player.
Might be a load of sh*te but if all the rumours are true the level of player coming in should be as good of not better than wants wanting out.

Agreed Ramsey84, we still have good players on the books and assuming the new lads will arrive as suggested it will be a good window. Looking forward to our strikers hitting form. They will excite our fans with goals galore.

There are still major deficiencies in the squad, the league has started and less than 1 week away from CL signing deadline and less than 2 weeks away from our biggest game of the season in terms of finances.

I agree Joe but if Hassan goes through Monday along with another of the CM signings and we keep hold of Engels/ Johnston.
I reckon that's good enough to give us the best stab at the champs league qualifiers.
If we go through then hopefully the purse strings are loosened more and we can fill the other holes.
If we qualify and Engels/ Johnston decide to leave, we will have a bigger pot and a bigger sway for bringing in a higher level of players.
Again being positive but it's currently 50/ 50 for being a quality window.

Although the timing of getting deals over the line is highly irritating, the players being linked is a definite positive. I get better quality needs more persuasion as they'll want to keep their options open for the best deal possible. But we're behind on having the tools at our disposal for the defense of our league campaign as well as the up and coming CL playoff.
If we sign the players linked and get rid of the deadwood and wantaways, dare I say it, but we might have to give credit where it is due for such a good window. Nothing is a certainty as of yet though.
