We had the biggest net transfer window for a decade in the summer - net spend of £95M.
We went into the window with CF, RW and RB as THE positions to solve.
After spending well over £100M we emerged from it with only the RW position filled - although we only look fluid when we have Ndiaye out there who we had already and accommodating Grealish in his old position.
RB is no further on; CF is arguably worse.
I think we're now in a position to declare that summer window as encouraging from a spending / ambition point of view, but an utter disaster in terms of getting us a highly competitive first team.

in hindsight it wasn’t the best window, a lot of money wasted and problem areas still not solved

Positive outlook as ever.
Agree with RB and CF aspect but I think we are more competitive as a unit. But, opinions.

Were was I wrong?
Time will tell, but I don't think not signing a full back better than Mykolenko or JOB, an improvement on Beto was the best idea

You weren't as its your opinion. I even said I agreed with you. Its just an overall dour assessment of what I thought was a pretty positive window overall

….i wasn’t particularly happy with who we were bringing in, particularly critical of Grealish and KDH but they’ve been good. I liked the prospect of Barry, Rohl and Aznou acquisitions but they’ve been disappointing in the main.
I thought it was a mixed bag so was right about that but looking like I got things wrong
Fairly clear where we need to strengthen now, it could never be achieved in one window given the mess we were in. So much is about blend and it the ‘types’ of player we now need should be clearer.

How was it a positive window when we agree the cash was by and large wasted in solving the issue we went into it that needed solving?

We could have solved EASILY at lthe very least the FB positions...especially RB.….i wasn’t particularly happy with who we were bringing in, particularly critical of Grealish and KDH but they’ve been good.

The club spent over £100M and RB was a stand out to be fixed but wasn't.
