Woke up to Broja to Everton. Did Ipswich end up getting a striker in the end?

Woke up to Broja to Everton. Did Ipswich end up getting a striker in the end? They lost out on both Broja and Nelson, late on to other clubs

On the whole a very good window + releasing Baker, Johnson and Laurent + Loans look excellent + Getting in Cannon was a real achievement as lots of clubs were after him + Good pathway for the youngsters. Should be opportunities for them + The perm signings were on the whole good + Kept Bae, Burger and Million - We may well be back to square one at the end of the season with the loanees going back. But I guess that’s modern football - Shame we didn’t get Cundle as we look a little light for genuine 8s - RB looks light in quality - A little concerned that there’s not huge experience in the first 11 8/10 for me. Maybe we can go back in for Cundle in January if we can loan or sell Pearson.

One thing that list of club signings tells me is clubs have signed about 10 players but got rid of twice as many. I guess it's cos some of the released ones are older players over the hill or younger ones who aren't hacking it, while the new players coming through academies aren't mentioned. But yeah was wondering that myself.

How do Chelsea keep getting away with inserting a £30m buy clause in these Broja deals? 🤣
He looked decent when he broke out on loan at Southampton but he's done sod all since and been constantly injured. Desperation leads to some silly decisions doesn't it?!

Looks a good window for us - but time will tell obviously
Shame we couldn't get any takers for Mmaee, Ennis and Vidigal, that would have turned a good window into a great window

My concern is still the physicality of the team overall especially for this league come the winter.
We certainly need Laval to be the presence in midfield when fit as we look pretty weak there now. Let’s see how they do today. No doubting the technical quality but we do need a mix. I just wish Burger for his height tackles better.

Not gonna get my hopes up too much just yet as we've been here so many times. I am excited but cautiously

Overall a decent window. No-one knows how good Cannon will be, but we have to assume the high levels of interest correlate to ability. If he can get 12-15 goals that would be fine. Koumas, Manhoef should chip in another 10 each you'd expect? We'll miss Hoever in terms of defenders chipping in with goals and creativity, but Moran, Burger and the fringe front players should all get a few more. Might not be enough for the 70 goals play off teams get, but should beat our this-spell-in-the-championship record of 62 in MON's first year.
3 or 4 starters being loanees sucks a bit, but this seems to be the norm for us now.
Really excited to see our young players coming through and hope we secure longer term deals and they see plenty of game time. Sidibe and Tezgel in particular look ready for 20 appearances or more.

Why does the winter come into anything? Unless you just mean the volume of games around Christmas.

Must admit this transfer window probably is the most pleasing for years. When it started we needed a permanent goalkeeper, a couple of central defenders, a left back, an attacking midfielder, a new cm/dm and a couple of strikers. In my opinion we have filled all those positions with a lot of quality and certainly an upgrade from last season. The only minus is that several of the new players only are loans and probably loans that will be hard to make permanent as well. Permanent: Johansson, Gibson, Bocat, Lawal, Seko, Gallagher. Loans: Phillips, Moran, Koumas, Cannon. ......................Johansson................... Lawal.........Phillips........Gibson........Bocat .......................Burger.......... ..............Moran............Bae.............. Manhoef...............Cannon...............Koumas Subs: Bonham, Wilmot, Dixon, Junior, Stevens, Thompson, Pearson, Seko, Gallagher, Mmaee, Tezgel, Vidigal, Rose, Ennis. A luxery problem to fit in Moran, Bae, Koumas in the team, but for some games I would certainly try it! I also think Tezgel needs a loan to play regularly, and I would offload Vidigal, Rose and Ennis if possible too. Not all windows are closed yet.

Desperation leads to some silly decisions doesn't it?! The more players Chelsea loan out to other premier clubs the more games they will play against a weakened team as the loaned player will be not eligible?

Good assessment though in the case of Rose I’d keep him as 3 CBs isn’t enough.

Maybe we can go back in for Cundle in January if we can loan or sell Pearson. Forgetting Pearson my thoughts about Cundle and January as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if both the club and the player weren’t equally disappointed with the outcome of the closing of the window yesterday. It’s wait and see.

Once again the club has done everything possible to support a new manager.
They have backed another complete overhaul of the playing staff.
Let's all hope the faith they have shown in this manager is rewarded with better results.

I'd give this window 8,5/10 atm, got a bit of everything and pretty much filled all positions we most needed. Not all but almost. We also got a wild card in Tatsuki Seko, very interesting to see what he can do. Sometimes you have to take a risk, and think outside the box and Tatsuki seems to be "low risk high reward" kind of a risk.
