Also, should there be a real need I'm sure Ince can drop back to play CB, as that's where he started off.

I think the point a number of our players have made is in bringing new blood to the squad to make it fresh and fiery and to add competition to places, as other clubs seem to have done. That doesn't really seem to have happened, and it's a slight puzzle as to why. I hope it's not on the basis of the possible return from injury of some of our bigger players, as really you can't bank on the form of the physically reconstructed as you can with some bigger names arriving and bringing a new feel to the team. Am happy to have these 2 in and they could offer a little more to what we have, but it doesn't feel like we've gone for it if this is it.
Fingers crossed for something more as the day goes on.

This.
We will be left with dolla for the Summer transfer window and start to add quality for next season.

one that doesnt get injured every other week.
I'm surprised the club bothered with a live update page on the website if we are only bringing in one player today.
That said, I think the squad looks okay. I don't see the need for another center back personally. We've got Dunk who is a great prospect, why make his route into the side any harder? If we picked up injuries we could get someone in on loan.
When the dust settles on all of the Premier League transfers they'll be players left out of the 25 man squad who we could pick up on loan too. I'm content and evening not refreshing NSC and Twitter for more news would be quite nice too actually!

Burke is hardly going to say yes - because if any possible transfers dont happen - then he would be slated for it. That and if he states he is actively looking for more players, clubs could raise their asking prices.
I think there is more to come.

If that's the case it'll be HUGE disappointment
Sell a centre back, striker and two times player of the season for £4m+ and replace with Stephens and a freebie from the Spanish second division
Is Celta Vigo in the Spanish Second Division then? I might be wrong, but I thought they were in La Liga (Primera division).

We are also up Obika (loan) and Monokana. We also have KLL and Orlandi back from injury. Leo has had plenty of game time. CMS and Hoskins are back in training.
Oscar is now far more familiar with the squad and the Championship. The players are taking on board and developing under his 'philosophy'. We have a mean defence. We are in the fifth round of the FA Cup, and are being televised, accruing extra money; we have a decent chance of progressing to the next round, yielding more money. If this happens, we'll be one game away from Wembley. After Sunday, we have four home games in a row. We have the highest attendances in the Championship. We'll in all likelihood improve attendance figures as the season progresses. We've just made about £4m in the transfer window. We might make the play-offs -- who knows what happens if we do. If we don't, we'll be in for a settled and fascinating summer to see what Oscar does with the squad.

In the context of selling Barnes, selling Bridcutt and losing Crofts for the season you have to say that's dissapointing.
Our key problem this year has been scoring goals and we have done nothing to improve the team in that guise. Yes I know we bought David but frankly he looks extremely unfit for a professional footballer. He also need to adjust to this league. I very much doubt he will have any impact in the last 20 games of the Season.
So having sold a player for 3.25m and another for 1m you would have some money would be available to improve the team, the board may have decided that we are not going for it this year, then fair enough. The playoffs this year are going to be tough and there is a low chance of us making them so perhaps its not the right time to spend.
However, I do think it is unfair on OGJ given Bloom's statements about anything less than the playoffs being a failure this year.

Seems to me that:
1. We were weaker at the start of this season than we were at the start of last season
2. We are weaker going into the second half of this season than we were at the start of this season.
3. We are nailed-on favourites for FFP's Accountants Of The Year Award. YAAAAY! (if you're an accountant)

Can't you just picture Burke and Barber sitting down with a big smile on their faces saying " A very successful transfer window. We've had all those stupid customers believing all week that we'd be bringing in some real quality new faces and instead of that we've made a nice fat profit by selling three and only buying one. Definitely a good week's business! Now all we've got to do is work out how much we can raise season ticket prices then sit back and watch them all come flocking back next year!"

If thats it then they are running a dangerous game when they send out season ticket renewals having shown no ambition to push for promotion. I'm sure they will put prices up and having not invested in the squad the money we have received people might not see us moving forward. Of cours eif we bring a couple more in this aftenroon then its irrelevant but surely it must be a factor to consider.

So we've had near on £4 million in transfer fees so far and we've spent ?

They are, but has he not spent the majority of his career in the 2nd tier? Regardless, this window is still a shoddy showing from the club if that really is it.
