I thought Paterson was sold on the cheap and I don't see how the players we've brought in make any difference to that opinion.
I like the look of Osei-Tuto, am not convinced yet by Ojo, Phillips seems a good signing, can't comment on Benkovic because, apart from a few minutes when he came on to play up front for the wurzels a few months ago, I've not seen him play and Wilson looked out of form for Wales, but is proven quality at this level, so I'm happy with his signing.
However, I'd say 90 per cent of supporters of all clubs tend to believe their squad is stronger in the hours following the closure of a transfer window and they are often proved wrong. I still think we're a bit one dimensional in central midfield and neither Bacuna or Nelson convinced me as a right back when they played there - we can only hope that Osei-Tutu does not get injured.

Yeah, who cares about how money is spent at the club? While we have limited knowledge and no control, it doesn't mean we shouldn't have a passing interest.
Agreed. The only one I'm disappointed at being loaned out is Sang but I think he's back in January and I'd like to see him get 1st Team game time. There's nobody else on that list of outgoings that I think the club should have have kept instead of the ones coming in. That doesn't mean we don't need a RB and a proper replacement for Gunnarson (still!) but we've been needing a good RB since Manga was covering in the Premier League season (so really since the Summer of 2018).
The great thing about this window is that 5 of the 6 signed are starters whereas non of the players that left were starters! For too long we have bought squad players who were just not good enough to start? We have to give our Academy youngsters a chance if we have injuries?
I am personally eternally grateful to VT for keeping my club alive - I remember the days when we were on our knees financially
How much did we get for Etheridge you reckon?
WOL reported it was £2m.
