    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.

    Could we still sign free agents?

    If we are near or in the top six then we may strengthen again

    This. From that list only the club know if we've halved or doubled the wage bill.

    Is there still a rule about the maximum number of loan signings on the pitch at one time?

    As far as on the field goes I still think we needed another RB and a another winger but it is what it is. Wilson will be a good addition.
    *Flashbacks to Leeds under Peter Ridsdale*

    *Flashbacks to Darlington under George Reynolds*

    *Flashbacks to Hereford, Chester, Portsmouth, Rangers, Parma*

    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).

    If what Paul Abbandonato is writing on Twitter is true, we've basically exchanged two years of Paterson for a year of Harry Wilson. That seems like a good deal to me.

    Hoilett, Murphy, Whyte, Ojo.
    I’d like to see them turning in good attacking performances. Otherwise they should go too to bring in others.

    Maximum of 5 loan players on any team sheet.

    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

    Dalman in his statement said that the figures being reported for the Wilson deal were overstated

    I agree, I think we need another winger and surprised Whyte is still here.

    As you said I thought he might have gone for Sanderson and pushed the arsenal boy forward.

    I still think we are a few players short of a playoff push.

    I think Sanderson turned us down as we couldn’t guarantee him a regular starting position?

    As a friend , gently ask him when he's next over for tea , why he wears his belts so high up , and tucks his footy shirt in ?

    I'm sure I read it was about £1m but if they get promoted, we get £2m. So, we get £1m

    Whyte should go, there's literally no point in him being here. He barely made a 20 man squad post lockdown.

    Are you incapable of disagreeing without resorting to insults?
