    5/10. We've left it too late, as everyone and their aunt knew we would which cost us the chance for CL money and exposure.

    They knew Tierney was leaving from the start and have replaced him with someone who looks very shaky and now more money on a young player who might not be up to scratch.

    Desperately need a CDM - nothing done. 4 loans which means this situation just repeats all over again.

    Overall a 5 is maybe harsh, but the points above infuriate me. Elyounoussi might be a coup, but again we don't know that yet and we almost certainly won't buy him. I've also yet to see 2 of them play, so..

    Nah think the first bit hits the nail on the head. The team was not ready for the qualifiers as has often been the case in recent years.

    Lennon said 4 that was after Forster so

    Bauer
    Elyounoussi
    Taylor

    1 more surely for some serious dosh! Even allowing for say £2m for Taylor that’s still £38m in profit from player trading since the window a year ago today!

    6/10, if boli comes good bump it up to a 7, and if we bring in a CDM before the window ends an 8. It's been far better than the last summer window but again, our timing has been atrocious, if i were to rate the signings i'd go

    Boli - 5/10 - shown some glimpses recently that he isn't a bad player, but is he a defender? i don't think so, don't mind if he's back-up over the course of the season

    Jullien - 7/10 - Abysmal for the Dunfermline game and few shaky moments against motherwell, but other than that he's been solid and i think he'll get better.

    Elhamed - 8/10 - a very decent addition imo, whether he's back-up or first choice i'm happy with him, strong, very quick, maybe needs to improve his positioning but he's been a bargain

    Forster, Bauer, Elyounoussi, Taylor - N/A - i'm very excited for Elyounoussi, and i think Bauer and Forster will turn out to be shrewd pieces of business. I'd have wanted better than Taylor, especially to replace Tierney, but i still think he'll come good.

    Yeah I'd imagine that is the case.. I'd have said decent window if this was all done a month ago, so frustrating at times.

    Sinclair and Ralston will likely be gone too before the close

    If that * told me my jugular was ripped open and I was spewing blood everywhere and I could actually see the blood spewing everywhere I would still get a second opinion.
