Overall it's turned out decent, Mason, Henriksen, Marshall and Mbokani are excellent additions and Keane and Weir are reasonable punts at only £1m each.

A bit weird that we didn't go for a full back, we should have kept Rosie, he'd have been ideal cover.

Six incoming in just two days isn't bad at all. Any decent full backs that are free agents?
 
Not a bad window, could have been better, could have been worse. If we can avoid injuries to Robertson and Elmo we'll be fine.

Henriksen was always going to happen. Looking forward to seeing him play for us.
 
Reading back through the posts this morning. Hell, there wasn't half some dummy spitting at times last night. I think we've made some sensible signings and we've learnt our lesson from deadline day 2 years ago. Particularly excited to see Henrickson play and we'll see in the next few months just how good our business has been. Certainly a much better position to be in than we were a week ago and you'd think any areas we're more thin on will be addressed either with free agents or in January. Plenty for us to be content about after a turbulent summer!

We lost out on two preferred options and had to draft in two untried Man U kids.
They'll both have to play like a young Ryan gigs for it to be a success.
We've not got cover in the right areas. Fact.
No amount of dry bumming each other on here will alter that.

The Man United lads are two cheap punts, I don't think they had any bearing on other targets.

We obviously missed out on Rodriguez (and a last minute attempt to get Ulloa instead), but I'm happy with Mbokani and the other attacking players we've brought in.

We're playing a dangerous game having no full back cover, but at least Elmo never gets injured.

I'd have taken the Allams leaving and no-one coming in, so I'm more than happy with what we've ended up with.

Probably equally important that we hung on to what we had. It looked like we might have had a rats leaving a sinking ship scenario when Diame left.

Where does Henrikson play? I'm really concerned we're shorr of wide men. If Snodgrass got injured we'd suddenly have next to no creativity from out wide. Reminds me of 2014/15 when we had an excellent squad in some areas, but a few injuries to Diame, Jelavic and Snodgrass suddenly made us really lacking in a couple of areas.
