Well, tbf, if were talking in an ideal, perfect, world, a lot more! But CH, CM/No8, versatile attacker that could cover all 3 roles if and when needed.

Is it literally just Woolfenden?

Yep and I'll await my apology from you.

Saying KKH has looked shit after like 2 games is such an overreaction.

How are we weaker in defence?
Including the GK, I'd argue we've got a better keeper, got rid of Binks who many hated and replaced him with Wolfenden and also brought in Brau and KHH. Oh, and got rid of Collins.
We're definitely stronger in defence. Potentially we could get a 4th CB for added cover but there's no way we're weaker.

This. We have no cover for Rudoni should he get crocked.

They were starting 12 months ago and are very much squad players now.
You've just said 3 signings are poor and you're desperate to sign more. That's the irony, signings don't guarantee quality. Keeping players like Rudoni, Haji and MVE is.

If anything, the CMs need rebalancing. Allen, Eccles, Grimes and Sheaf were deployed in more or less the same role. Torp does things differently to them and there’s no alternative for him.
I still highly rate Sheaf but his attributes isn’t what’s needed.
With respect to Allen, he’s 4th choice and these players don’t get a ton of minutes so for one more season, it’s fine. Sheaf and Eccles aren’t going to be happy being 4th choice with reduced minutes whereas Allen accepts that role. Obviously not as talented, but you need players in a squad who are happy to not be 1st choice.

Couple of injuries away from being back to an Allen and Eccles midfield pairing.
Would be ok if a CM came in with Woolfenden but would still be an average summer for me. Just my opinion.

On KKH he did take a couple of hard knocks to be fair to him, I think he'll be fine given his track record. Both he and MVE need cover from the winger, Tats has improved a lot at this BTA/Rapha doen't give us that yet. That's certainly something for the training gound in this break.

People will keep saying how we have had a great window with who we have kept, etc.
The reality is, we are 2-3 injuries away from being extremely thin.
if we hadn’t of sold Sheaf, brought in Wolfy and an attacking play/winger then that’s very decent.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case.

literally not what I'm saying. Where have I said equal?How many Championship teams have equal replacements for their best players?

I wonder if we ever did get a solid bid for Rudoni

Fingers crossed. Looks like the CH is confirmed, so just 2x more to go. Then I say this window was a success. Still a lot of dead wood that needs cutting away and replacing, but Rome wasnt built in a day. Nobody on here is stupid enough to think otherwise. But a little more depth this window wouldn't of gone a miss. When we're 1 injury away from a much weakened starting 11, its a concern.

Exactly, it's a position identified, he may have been number 1 target but it's not going to be him or nobody. Also just because we have the same players, does not mean we haven't improved as a squad. We have a young squad who are more experienced and they've had a pre-season with this coaching team.

What were people saying about Torp up until this season?
In fact, what about the ‘Haji can’t play upfront in Lampard’s system’ brigade.
All the time, people rush to conclusions and year on year, the same bedwetters get made to look foolish. Seriously, when will these people learn?

Thats what I'm surprised by. I thought we would doing a lot of trimming of fringe players and loans out.

I'd prefer a new contract for Rudoni over a new signing.

Allen and Eccles have played midfield for us plenty of times in the past few years.
They've both played in two play offs and an FA Cup semi final.
They are two good squad players to have.

Something fishy about this.....
Godo to Strabourg (owned by Chelsea) to be replaced by Fulham signing Tyrique George from Chelsea.... Smells like an FFP workaround

You can be pleased with one scenario and frustrated with the other.
