So......

[If wed only kept Howie.. 3]

successful transfer window? the club seem to think so, and i''m inclined to agreed.

Positives

- kept Maddison, Klose, Oliveira, Trybull

- replaced non-contributing players*

- reduced the wage bill significantly and are 10m up on fees

Negatives

- didn''t sign a specialist rightback

Not sure

- the trio from Germany, lets see if they are actually upgrades*?

- will we miss Cameron Jerome?

- letting Crowe and Middleton leave (check on that in 3 years from now)

Surely losing Pritchard is a negative? Plus not sure keeping Oliveira would be seen as a positive in many people’s eyes

Obviously it all depends overall how well the new players do, that’s what will determine if the window is a success.

Srbeny is such a massive unknown that I''m really not happy with him being our only backup/competition for an out of form Oliveira. One RB is also an issue that we haven''t dealt with.

That said, keeping Maddison is huge.

Disappointed but not surprised in summary. If we miss playoffs by a couple of points, I think there will be just cause to be a bit ticked off at the window.

Really can’t judge at the moment as we have no idea of the quality of the new signings. I would have expected cover for RB though

[JF 694]

I Have no idea why that emoji is there!

Whilst I''ve no idea if Srbeny is any good, I think the right approach was taken. Cameron Jerome wasn''t putting any pressure on Oliveira, and is 32 in the summer. Given that we probably couldn''t afford Oliveira and Jerome next year, it''s better to find a big strong striker now, and give them the rest of the season to get used to the English game . I doubt the Derby deal would have been there in the summer.Webber said before that we aren''t going to have two experienced players for each position, because it leaves you with 6-7 players who don''t even make the match squad.

[Cantiaci Canary 558]

Really happy with the work done.

Lost only one from the starting 11 and he was desperate to leave.

Reduced the wage bill.

Kept Maddison for a few more months (although I suspect a deal has probably been done with Spurs).

Exciting to see what Srbeny, Leitner and Hernandez can bring.

Reed can easily cover Tettey.

A step in the right direction regarding the rebuild and transition. Expect major surgery in the summer!

[Dorset Canary 0]

Yes am very pleased with the way things have gone during the last two windows.

And if we miss the play offs by 3 points or less, then in my eyes it''s job well done in Jan!

I think this window has gone as well as it could have gone, given the restraints City find themselves in. As Webber has said, City have reduced the wage bill, reduced the squad age and mostly filled the positions that opened space, excepting RB, but Harri Reed seems a decent enough cover for Pinto anyway for rest of the season.We have good money for Pritch, who wanted to go anyway, said bye to Cam, which to me was absolutely the right time, shifted Martin and Naismith at least in the short term, kept hold of Madders and Big Timm until at least the summer and have 3 new guys in Srbeny, Hernandez and Leitner to look forward to seeing fully. Plus of course a new guy for the summer already in McLean, which should at least help  in starting to replace Reed and Tettey, should he depart.So for me an excellent window, especially keeping Klose, love the guy. Dont think many fans would''ave thunk he would play at least 2 full Champ seasons with us. So, now we know who we have, its up to DF to see what he can do to improve City more, in defence he has molded  a tight knit, solid unit dramatically well since that day at Millwall. We all know we want to see more spark up front, see more goals, and DF is the first guy who knows that to of course. Its his task to dieter mine how its done, we fans have the luxury of being free to whine or applaud his actions and those of his lads on the pitch. OTBC.
