Rate the 2024 Summer Transfer Window out of 10

It's all about opinions so...

We desperately need a CDM for me, (no way anybody is telling me that Grav is the answer after playing there against Ipswich and Brentford) and probably an LCB. So, that is 2 out of 4 areas we all more or less agreed we needed to strengthen in.

Instead, we got two random ones in the two positions that we are all probaly agreed that were fine in.

Aruguably, our three best players' contracts are in limbo and a few off the wage bill.

I like the Chiesa signing, but I feel that it needed to be a bonus on top of what we needed.

4/10 window.

I would keep the 3 contracts seperate from the transfer window

Not getting a cb in is not ideal but still 4 really good ones there

Cdm might not be the issue people think with Arnes system, again signing ons would be great but lets see how it plays out with whats there

Chiesa is a great signing. Covers Mo plus opens options for the system

Goalies a smaet move

Biggest concern ive got is letting so many promising young players go especially Baj, a few injuries and well be thin

6/10

Yeh think you hit right myself 4/10.  Right now. 
I thought we needed a DM or and an experienced player in midfield.  There is too many young heads in their a bit risky especially in the real big games.

Needed a CB.  I am happy with the forward, think we needed one. 

A bit daft but let's say 3/10. A good one for FSG.

Top marks for saving money and running a tight ship. That's all we can ask for really. Hopefully save some more when Jan comes around to set us up nicely for the run in, and by next summer we might even manage to get some of the big earners off the books.

That's pretty much me you know, mate? Daft as F**k 😂

3/10 for people that give a F**k about winning

9/10 for the rest of them

3 out of 10.

Failed to strengthen in the areas we needed, signed players (though good) for positions we do not need strengthening yet. Not renewing our 3 critical players contracts. Not backing your new manager.

Pretty much a disaster, clubs around us are strengthening or keeping at par last years spending.

I’ve said it before. We act like a small club in transfers and always can find us at the bargain basement section in the major stores.

Can't be arsed or too stoned! 

Arne Slot is the key signing of the window
D has tightened up
O is less predictable
A better team already

Well both, it is 845 am Saturday morning. Been up since 6 hoping the Varela deal went thru.

Nervous times calls for extra cones! 😂

Signed a backup attacker.
And for this season, that seems it.
2 out of 10.

3/10 seems right. Maybe willing to push it up to a 4 as we have managed to get some decent fees and we've managed to get a lot of youngsters out on loan which I've been an advocate for many years.

Like the 2 signings we've made but ultimately one is a squad player (probably too good to be a squad player in truth) and the other is a future signing we won't see until season and even then it's unlikely we'll see much of him as Ali wants to stick around.

No DM which was priority.
No CB yet again (that's now 1 CB we've signed in 7 years which is astonishing).
No Fullbacks.
No new contracts.

Sooo yeah, safe to say Hughes and Edwards have pissed me right off.

This club, under these owners are incapable of attacking the market and pushing to be ambitious. 14 years and we've never done it once, always been reactionary yet the human minds will tell us to start raising the joy meter for next summer "as we're gonna be in for a busy summer", every window we fall into the same trap of getting pumped up and all excited only to be left bitterly disappointed, and it's not our faults....there's nothing we can do about it because this is the way our minds our wired.

It’s impossible to judge a transfer window in the present and can only do so when we’ve seen what impact it’s had on the club.

On the surface this one looks like a poor one for us but over time could prove to be a pivotal one. The keeper we’ve signed may end up being the greatest thing since sliced bread and Chiesa could turn out to be so good that we’re not even arsed about Mo leaving on a free.

On the other hand the keeper could never actually play for us and Chiesa could end up like the rest of the Italians we’ve had represent us.

As for other positions that we didn’t strengthen, it could come back to bite us on the arse as the season progresses but it could end up be a blessing because Slot finds us a way of playing world class football with the players we’ve already got - something that might not have happened if we’d got the centre half and centre mid so many wanted.

So it’s up in the air at the minute just how good or bad this window has been. And it can only be truly answered, in my opinion, once we’ve had time to asses the impact it’s made.

5.5/10 but as Dunlop has said we do not have the crystal ball to see the future.

Hope that rating improves because that it would mean that did well in the near future.

Does a mancs vote class boss ? 😂

2 out of 10 these owners are minges..moores would have spent more. They are happy with qualifying for the champions leauge not winning things

Based on what exactly


As for rating the window - impossible to judge until the season has been finished

Slot has been very clear that the squad is in great shape

Getting Chiesa was superb , bringing in the two young lads is great and the GK also good


Someone to help the legs of VVD would have been good and someone to play in the double pivot

But the squad is in a good place , last season we lost legs up front and Chiesa will add into that

Think we are in for a great season

Been a great few transfer windows, personally don't think we can look at them on Thier own each winter/summer it's an evolving beast.

Klopp and co have a built a superb squad already, we have tickled it a bit this summer, and expect it to be tickled a wee bit in January, but next summer depending on what virg and mo do, we could see the club spending those big bucks again that so many wish we would have right now.

All good and all that stuff.

8/10 for work done over past few seasons transfer windows.

YNWA

2/10

FSG failed to back Jürgen and we've been saving up problems for the future ever since, always falling short because the drop in quality from the starting XI to the bench is massive.  Come Nov/Dec, when suspensions and injuries start kicking in, we'll see it again as an opportunity missed.

We were lucky Barca coughed up the Courtinho millions so we could buy Ali & Virge.

There's a lot worse than FSG but their lack of investment cost Jürgen titles. 

If you judged the process on sales and loans probably a 10/10.

Signing Freddy was great business.

Only concern is the squad looks very light. Klopp’s squad pushed for a Quadruple. This squad will have to sacrifice the domestic cups.

There is a solid squad there but it’s still just a slightly weakened version of Klopp’s.

January will need to be a better window for incomings.

The risk from this window is that lack of signings snowballs into three players walking at the end of their contracts now that Klopp is gone.

Slot has a lot of work to do.
