Transfer windows closed, disappointed again, what will gus say now, most importantly who's going to score goals, miracles don't happen twice

It's frustrating when you see the amount of business clubs like Newcastle, Hull, Stoke, West Ham, QPR and even Crystal Palace and we still don't have the strength in depth in our squad to get us through the season if a couple if injuries occur. We need cover in all positions and it should be competative cover not someone who is willing to sit on the bench, players should be as good if not better than first team players!

Look at the players little Hull have signed now that is ambition!. that word has disappeared from our club!

Hull signed a 31 year old centre half [we already have two of those], a Uruguayan who played less than one third of Southampton games last season [and started only three YES THREE Premier League games], another Uruguayan who may or may not be a success [DID SUNDERLAND NOT DO THE SAME] a central midfield player from West Ham [ we would have had the same argument if we Sunderland had signed Diame and West Ham Rodwell] and a Newcastle maverick [who personally I think is a good player but no better than Giaccherini]. Now we are hardly talking missing out on Messi, Khedira, Ronaldo and Neymar here are we. Or would you be celebrating the fact we blew a fortune on a moody Carlos Kickaball from Real Deportilona who would be leaving us by January. Get real here!!!

While I appreciate your sentiments, I don't think anyone would deny that Hull are significantly stronger than last season. And if only we had two 31 year old CBs- actually we have one who is 33 and another who will be 35 next month!
Overall the window was a little disappointing, though we did shed a lot of dead wood, which will be important in that it will increase options in future. At the same time, if we look at who we actually put on the pitch, I don't think Gomez, VA and a 'fit again' Fletcher are as good at present as Alonso, Ki and Borini- though VA at least should improve- so our strongest eleven is weaker than it was. It is hard to be excited about that, however realistic one is.

With respect get your blinkers off and look at the bigger picture. You say the side is significantly weaker without Alonso, Ki and Borini. Alonso was nailed on until Fiorentina kept moving the goalposts regarding the transfer fee. What started at £4 millon then turned into £6. 5. Absoloutly no way is Alonso worth that fee [remember it is OUR money paying for these players]. Looking at Ki do you not agree the great escape happened AFTER he had dropped out of the side? As well as that the £10 million quoted by Swansea for his signature was unrealistic. For Borini there has been a million words written about him and in that respect I cannot add much to what has already been said however six goals in open play from thirty six PL and Capital One Cup games hardly had the blue chip clubs from England and Italy throwing themselves from parachutes into the SOL. So bearing in mind the £30 million in fees plus the combined wage bill would have meant there would have been little [if anything] left in the kitty for additions. So rather than being weaker all in all I feel the squad is STRONGER than the May 31st 2014 squad. One more through the door would have been nice but there are now a couple of places to bring the likes of Gooch and Agnew into the fold.
