Gross negligence failing to upgrade at CB
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Agreed
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Realistically, who would you have gone for that would have been the world class CB we need and would have been obtainable? Not on the WUM, just interested.

6/10 is very very generous Don

Very generous.

Haven't sold a single player again and not addressed any weak areas in the middle of the defence.

3 out of 10 for me.

There will be a massive pool of players for whoever to pick through in the summer. Hopefully Conte but I can’t see it.

I'm just glad that we managed to get Porro in. Would have created a lot of negativity had we not. Defence isn't ideal but it can be dealt with in the summer when I hope we will have targets in mind beforehand.

If we're feeling optimistic, things could come together nicely to have a good second half of the season, with the new additions, the availability of Bentancur and Kulu, and maybe Son actually getting back to his old self.

The let down is the defence but this should not be as problematic if the other things hold up well.

id say Porro salvages a 5/10 but rating windows is so lame as its all about how the players who sign end up playing and how the season pans out

most people said no less than a 7/10 in the summer window tbf and that turned out to be a bit meh because didnt address key starting xi weaknesses which i think we have only done in one window (last Jan) in recent memory and even that was a last min scatter gun

2/10 for the two loan deals is nearer the mark. Neither will make much difference in all probability, other than bolster the squad.

Porro is a starter Sandy. He will take Emerson spot with absolute ease

The Porro deal puts my score up purely because we are desperate for a RWB and we finally have a top class starter.

More I read about Porro the more excited I am to see him play for us

Sounds a real talent with a good attitude as well (don’t want anymore ndombeles!)

I’ve not looked but did he live in England when at city or was he always on loan away? Be good if he has already lived in the uk before to settle quicker

Still miffed about the centre back situation but if there isn’t anyone available what can we do

Yeah mate ….Romero is the only centre back I’d keep

I’d happily give the rest away

I see souttar who Sandy liked at the World Cup is off to Leicester from stoke

Vesterveld available at Leicester too

Both I’d normally run a mile from but they are both better than the current slugs we put out

Spence on loan to Rennes is a strange one …rather he stayed in the premier league so we could have actually seen if conte was pig headed or correct that he isn’t ready by not playing him

Think that’s where Rodon is though so maybe that’s a factor (could be wrong on that)
