i cant see us signing anyone personally (maybe its because the ITKs have been quiet)
but do we think we'll have any loans come in?

Honestly this window has been pathetic hasnt it
Pathetic. The shutdown of giving rumours to fans like you has really upturn the apple cart and let down fans. We need something to speculate over

It's also worth remembering this is a top 6 deck (based on last season). If we can avoid a horrible start, there's no reason we can't challenge for playoffs again, or be comfortably 4th/5th like Sunderland.

Not sure we can say top 6 deck, as it depends on how others have strengthened . Top 10 deck defo.

Imagine being Wilson and Collins then seeing Dovin get injured and us signing a keeper on loan to be first choice. They will sit on their contracts and run them down . I mean without ultra criticism it’s probably the best contracts they will both earn.

Just because other teams have brought in players doesn't mean they have all strengthened. Many of them will be poorer than the players they have been bought to replace.

Exactly, we've been too hasty previously giving good contracts to bang average players, Binks was one we did well to get money for, but there's plenty of others that im sure Frank would move on if he could find someone to take them on. Such as:-

Wilson
Collins
Bidwell
Lats
Simms
BTA

And maybe in an ideal world :-

Allen
Eccles
Bassette
Raphael


Allen and Eccles are decent enough squad players, but are they good enough if we are aiming to be a top 2 team?
Would any of the above of got into the Leeds or Burnley sides that got automatic promotion last season? That's the level we ultimately need to be striving for.

It was Lampard that gave Bidwell the extra contract.

FL said, in an interview with DD, that he has not met such a nice humble group of players and I honestly read that as he doesn't want to rock the cart and he believe what he has can do the job. If you look at it that way and if we can keep all the players and even add one more CB it could be seen as a really good window.

I can still see a couple of deals being done. Loans, I have never seen us in for loans, unless we lose one late in the window.

If we don't sign at least 2 'decent' players before the end of the transfer window, I'll buy a Leicester top.

I dont think he had any choice, rumour has it a 1 year extension was triggered when Bidwell made a certain number of appearances.

Completely agree, I can’t believe people have said we’ve had a good window. We haven’t really strengthened just replaced

We have strengthened in 3 positions?
