Solomon on his way to Palace.
The mantra early on in the window was we're building from the back and we have added a bit more quality in some additions and added a bit more depth.
But I've always thought that the spine of the team was more important. Despite a great last season there were obvious areas that needed a massive upgrade. Mez was one. He has talent but poor judgement. We have a new keeper who can catch and if he can sort out his feet he should be an upgrade.
A creative AM who can chip in with a few goals was an obvious need. Aaronson will give his all but he's a squad player at best. We've not solved that even if we get Harry Wilson.
Piroe is good in spurts in the Championship but doesn't offer enough at this level. We've got Nmecha and DCL. Neither have been prolific and their injury records aren't very reassuring. Hopefully one or both will prove me wrong.
If we'd added the AM and a decent striker who would have more chance of staying fit then it would have been a reasonable window. As it is, the recruitment team look like a bunch of headless chickens. We've been beaten to the punch by many other clubs, including some who are deemed as relegation candidates. I think we're now in that group.

Have to say, Sunderland seem to have gone about their business very efficiently in this window. Obviously they have a lot of new players to gel in, but I think they have a really good chance to stay up.

Sunderland are the new Forest?
