megansdad Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 100% agree - this has been a good news transfer window - after the forecasts we would be losing key players have failed thankfully to come true. Adebola could well be an inspired signing - allowing Trundle/Byfield more room and providing a target for McIndoe and Sproule- just hope our back line don't start to play a great deal more long balls.See you at Loftus Road!

Indeed Charlton have lost their most influential player - Andy Reid and Watford have lost their most potent striker - Marlon King. We had one major failing going into the transfer window - the lack of a powerful central striker with real physical presence to trouble centre halves - and we have addressed this issue. Signing Adebola has made us a better team, with more options to break down defences.West Brom have not significantly added to their team, though you could argue that they don't really need to. Palace haven't strengthened their team either. Charlton and Watford are weaker now than they were in December. Stoke have been active in the market but I haven't thought 'God I wish we had signed him' about any of their deals.Well_red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 And Stoke signed players they already had on loan so no change there. If the top clubs in this league conducted relatively little business it must say something about the January window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
