I know the loan window will soon be open, but genuinely surprised we haven't brought a forward in. Of the deals done Becchio is the player I would have liked along with Murray if he is over his injury and the price was right. If Dicko were to get injured I have no doubt we'd bring someone in straight away, but that would have to be who is available at that point in time, so we are relying on an element of luck there. I understand the stated desire that anyone we sign has to be good enough to replace one of the first 11, but in this one position I think we should be looking to improve what we have below Dicko, if they are better than him than great, but in reality need to be an upgrade on Clarke. I'm hoping someone is already lined up, but a deal couldn't be done just yet, for instance Leicester signed Lawrence and Powell very late on so perhaps Wood might be available in a couple of weeks.
I would like to know if KJ is comfortable with the situation, if so then I trust his judgement, if not (and we'll never know this), then I'd be disappointed if he felt he hadn't been supported by the Board.
Overall though a decent window. 3 players signed to be genuine first 11 contenders and 4 high earners off the books - 3 permanently, and one until Jan at least, when someone will pick him up on a free worse case I would imagine.
