Of course Doug wants a leaner squad. He wants the money spent on top players, not swathes of also rans who never play.

But it's probably too thin now when injuries kick in. They know this, which is why they would have bought Hughes and Rak Sakyi

It’s ok, we can use full backs as wingers and unproven kid Kai Andrews in midfield

Have I missed something… We wanted to sign Hughes AND Wolfenden?! It wasn’t an either/or situation?

Rak-Sakyi for a permanent makes sense and hopefully something we can revisit. Would be a top signing.

There is a massive over simplification of things on here. Basically it comes down to the fact that we’ve got to trust King and his team.

Which in itself is a massive over simplification.

There’s a balance between recognising the club were obviously trying to do something and sounding off just because there weren’t endless signings. You also don’t seem to value the retention of all of our best players. You can have a good window with zero signings.

it’s just funny that you and the other 2, who worship King were telling us it was such a great window and the squads in a great place.

now bling has come out and said the squad isn’t padded out as he’d like you don’t comment on it at all. makes you look very foolish

Our captain who was no longer a first team regular and who we managed to get Wrexham to overpay for?

We are a bit light in depth in midfield but I'm happy we kept all the first XI players.

People are really reaching on this sold our captain rubbish. Sheaf was far from one of our crown jewels and we got a price we'd have been beyond stupid to turn down given his injury issues.

still, it was too good a price to turn down but looks a bit ridiculous not to replace him

It's not ideal but if someone offers you that for someone who has been either crocked or not very good for some time, you take it.
I'm more annoyed we didn't sort out something in the forward positions. Can kind of understand if they wanted to press on a better CM target in Jan. Here's hoping that they have something ready to go.

Wrong again. I welcome you to find the post where I've stated that it's been a good window. Honestly Sparkes can you just not do your homework properly instead of trotting out lies ? Makes you look very foolish .

On first point, Jimmy stated the plan was to bring in two quality CBs to challenge Thomas and Kitching while shifting out Lati and Binks.

I think Hughes and Woolf were meant to be the two to come in but he wasn’t sure if the plan changed when Lati came back injured

I think my personal annoyance with the window, is that we never said no when we couldn’t get a replacement on the last day.

I honestly don’t mind Sheaf going and the amount was decent when you consider where he was but not holding firm until we got a replacement or likewise letting Rapha go when we knew Rak-Sai wasn’t coming seems very naive imo

No one would have paid that in January. We had to take the cash. We’re in September. We can recruit again in just over 3 months. It’s a risk that had to be taken.

Personally I thought it was an outstanding window. I don’t care if King didn’t.

Sorry to ask but why did we have to take it now? Not a dig just don’t get it.

We had a year option (or he just signed a new contract according to saddle). It’s a huge risk as if we get to January and we are still going well, amazing but if we have two injuries to Eccles and Torp, I think we will struggle to be as high as we currently are.

Just seems self inflicted and as we found out with Rak Sai, other teams capable of turning down large fees due to concerns with depth
