Ive probably missed someone, or got it wrong somewhere along the lines, anyways, vote away....

 

[Hungry Joe]

In the circumstances I'll give it an 8

 

[bright1064]

Certainly a lot of business has been done in both directions. However until the results are seen on the pitch I will have to rate it as a FIVE.

 

[RM-Taylor]

I'd say 7.

 

[Hungry Joe]

I reckon 9 out of those 12 will prove good signings which is pretty decent business. Things will start to come together on the pitch I'm sure. The only one I was really sad to see go was Sully but the reasons were understandable and Smith looks a fine keeper.

 

[Marc]

I voted 3 as I read it as Final Transfer Window Day as in TODAY not the whole summer...WHOOPS...change mine to a 7 please!

 

[grummitts gloves]

8 for me. When you look at all those players and how they performed for their previous clubs, I would back Slade in his reasons for signing them. On paper, pretty much all of them are better than what we had. The $64,000 question is can RS get them to play as a team and will the fans/the board, give him enogh time to achieve that?

 

[albionalex]

6. Would have been 7 if Davies had signed permanently.

 

[saltash seagull]

7 for me

 

[brightonmad999]

we needed to sign 2 or 3 players not one

 

[crodonilson]

8 for me, we've done some tremendous business and when Russell gets them playing as a team we will show we are a very decent side at this level.

 

[SeagullEd]

Average is 5.7 by my calculations - feel that a bit harsh to be honest!

We've got to remember, this is by no means a stable team and hasn't been for a good long while. With the way the market has been I voted 7 or 8, can't remember which one.

 

[NMH]

7. No telling how it'll pan out yet - we may have some steeds or we may have some donkeys. Attitudes matter, health and fitness matters, teamwork matters, and individual ability can make a difference - but we have to see what happens.

Edit; make that a 1. I just found out we let Mark Wright go.
f***ing rubbish, he was our best new player!
outrageous, we are CLUELESS !!

 

[ATFC Seagull]

When you read that list of Ins & Outs, its really hard not to say 8, 9 or 10. However comparing whats gone on so far on the pitch, you have to lean towards the lower numbers.

 

[Iamapen15]

8 - clearly we have improved the squad and in time, most of these players will turn out to be good buys.

 

[shwoody1]

7 for me. plenty of time for loanees if needed. good business today.

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

7 or 8 pour moi!

 

[jordanseagull]

8..

 

[NMH]

I am now infuriated - so f***ing WHAT that we got money for a player who cost us nothing, he was already one of our better players. I don't think he was properly utilized by Slade, but it was clear that he has the talent...and one of the few players prepared to take on defenders and run at them (like the players who constantly run at our defense and SCORE because our lot aren't good enough, forfucksake!).

What, 6 weeks of a decent player and then get rid, after finding out he's one of the best players in our squad??

Bloody USELESS slade, it defies belief.
