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. We should be playing Junho as an 8 now, with a front line of Koumas, Cannon and Manhoef. Mouthwatering.

Given people were very confident we had lots of money to spend…..we erm didn’t.
Which is imo a good thing.
Cundle, Cannon and Stansfield were all going for far too much and didn’t make sense for the money.
We’ve probably spent what 3/4m?
And got back 500k?
So still a decent investment.

Johansson
Junior Gibson Phillips Bocat
Burger Moran Junho
Manhoef Cannon Koumas
What a team that is.
Very few weaknesses, aside from maybe right back, but you can shore that up a bit with Gooch as we're not exactly light going forward.

Isn’t it around £5.5m spent with £1.5m amd potentially another £500k in add’ons? Still not a lot, but gives us some left over in January if we need it.

I wonder if Ivan Toney is the most disappointed person this transfer window.

Seko is out of contract in Jan, he’ll be a few hundred grand? Then we haven’t bought anyone else have we…..I forgot Bocat So yeah you’re right! Who’s the other player we’ve sold?

Gets totally overrun junho is no midfielder , lawal will start when fit and your forgetting Bayern , sidibe has to start too

Overall, a good window. I’m looking forward to the season. And let’s give the manager a whole season of support. It will take time for the team to click.

Is anybody else worried for football clubs in general not particularly Stoke in that transfer window. Not only do you have Birmingham breaking the League 1 record three times in the window on their way to spending £30 million, more than any other EFL club but also the club's spending big just to stay in the Premier.
Amongst all the publicity around Chelsea it seems to have gone unnoticed that the club who had the biggest net spend was Brighton who spent £196million on 9 players and only brought in £42million selling 6 players. Their model of buying unknown and cheap players to sell on at a profit seems to have come unstuck. How are those figures sustainable for a club of Brighton's size?

Yes I’d feel more comfortable with say a Burger, Lawal and Sidibe midfield leaving some flair on the bench to impact games later on. You’d think the only guaranteed starters in attacking positions are likely to be Cannon and Manhoef?

You’d think the only guaranteed starters in attacking positions are likely to be Cannon and Manhoef? Seems like we are putting a lot of faith in unproven players to me. Sidibe looks a decent prospect but he’s 17 years old, it’s a massive ask to expect him to play a significant role for us this season. Lawal has never played in the championship before and spent last season playing for a team relegated from league 1. I hope it all comes together, but there’s lots of question marks. Up front, Million, for me is the best player we have so yes he’s got to play if fit. Tom Cannon you would imagine has come here to play, so he will be first choice and it’s up to him if he takes the opportunity.
