I think it's been a solid transfer window, could it have been better - yes but on the whole we have managed to shift some dead wood whilst adding to problem position's especially RB / CH as well as probably the best back up GK in the league who will no doubt go on to be our number one. We have taken highly promising players such as Gill and Sarr which was pleasing to see. With Kane staying, we also have the best in the league. Dier and Sanchez have been solid so far - yes I know it's been 3 games, but when have they ever done 3 good games in a row - this shows Nuno and his team have been working hard with defense both on and off the ball - and with Romero waiting in the wings - I feel defensively this is the strongest we have been in some time. I would have liked to see a ball playing CM / AM added - I think that is what we are missing - someone to unlock teams when they are behind the ball - but we do have potentially Gill that could be utilised there. Whilst I would have like to see Traore added, his fee at 50 million imo was too high - considering his contract situation and for all his good qualities, the assists / goals he brings does not justify the price tag. However time will tell of we should have paid the extra to get him in now. However if JJ is saying that all our happy and on the same page, then that is refreshing to hear.
Onwards and upwards.

With all due respect we hear that ever post window.
Then eventually noise comes...
