Well, what an underwhelming Transfer Window that was. At the time of writing this post, some 90 minutes after the Window closed, still no incoming players announced.
I see it as the club have done absolutely nothing to plan ahead. They've not brought anyone in to integrate them ready for the Championship next season and neither have they brought anyone in to try and save us this season.
It looks like they've given up and we are now in limbo.

Angel and Armstrong are done, they'll be announced in due course prob with a sale on shirts too.

Armstrong deal announced, 3½ year contract

To be honest I've been pleasantly surprised goidwhile, I imagined more outgoings without replacements.
To get the money reported for larsen is also a surprise and the relatively small outgoing spend would actually suggest that Fosun, (given our impending relegation), have actually acted responsibly.
Of course it remains to be seen what impact the new lads can have, good or bad, but fresh blood is rarely a poor thing as a whole.
Agbadu has also brought something in and off the wages bill so another positive from my angle.
We've got to face the reality of relegation, and the task ahead, mitigating against further struggles is now the imperative and maybe, just maybe, Sh II is doing that.
Having said that, it wasn't the most exciting of windows and not a lot of interest in players all round, so who knows?

Yeah a very typical Fosun transfer window, where they promise a lot but in reality we are now just weaker than when we started the window. I understand that you have to sell Larsen at the price offered but as ever it's the transfers in (or lack of) which disappoints me.
On which note what exactly happens if Jackson gets a nasty injury? Cause I didn't especially rate however, but we now seem to have just one right back in the squad? As usual, same Shi different day! ?

It wasn't an exciting transfer window but it wasn't a bad one. Fosun aren't going to spend a lot when we are basically relegated. Letting Larson go for 48m is good business. Signing Armstrong who is championship proven and a different type of forward to Tolu is a good move. I can't comment on Gomes as never seen him play but I believe he is an attacking midfielder which we have been crying out for.
We have Bellegarde who has just come back who was probably our best attacking player until the injury. Summer is going to be very busy and important if they want to bounce back up. We need to bounce back up otherwise if you don't first time around you can be stuck there for a long time.

On Saturday, Mosquera moved to right back after the first lot of subs.
No doubt Fosun will come out and say the club are flush for players as Doc, Jackson and Rodrigo can play RB and Toti, Wolfe, Doc, Hugo can all play LB.
This transfer window made no sense to me. We didn't bring anyone in to mould ready for next season or anyone to try and save us this season.

The position we're in we'd have to bring in players worthy of being title challengers to try and stay up. Purely because we need to win something like 11 of 14 games. Those type of players are never coming to a relegation fight.
As depressing as it is - not taking Derby's record has become the realistic aim this season.
Players for next season is a good idea, but not easy. Some won't move until the summer and may have contracts running down making them cheaper to buy. Some may be playing for clubs who may get promoted / relegated themselves making players available. Circumstances will shift over the next 6 months on who we might be able to get.
I'm actually amazed we signed anyone.

Good - not sure why you are against the signing of Adam Armstrong?
Whilst he is obviously not as good as Cunha, Jota, Neto or Jimenez he is probably better than Hwang or Tolu.
He is clearly not good enough for the Prem - just like Hwang and Tolu!
But statistically he is one of the best Championship players of the last 5 years - goals scored and goals per minute - and that is where Wolves will be playing next year?.
He is cheap, home grown and on lower wages than Hwang etc.
Ps Che Adams, who I have also seen many posters running down, would also have fallen into the same category.

Lima, Doc, Tchatchooa and Rodrigo makes 4 potential right backs, Bully's. Don't see how we can't be viewed as weaker as Larsen was producing nothing and Lopez needs more time and space than the Premier affords whilst, for a change, Armstrong and Angel could prove pretty inspired signings.

Just hope the signing of Armstrong means the end of Hwang, otherwise why bother? I hope Gomes can capture the form from his England selection, should certainly stand out in Championship. Signing a winger would have been a good step, perhaps one out of contract could be found.
