I think some underestimate how much you can actually do with one window if your recruitment is good enough.
If you compare us with the rebuild Crystal Palace had to do a few seasons ago you can see how much 1 window can shift your fortunes.

I wanted to keep hold of Thelwell myself, I saw value in who he'd brought in under literally almost impossible conditions financially, he also was after a good few players who post moves sky ticketed in value. Kudus, MGW etc.
I had doubts on...
Luiz to Forest almost done. Forest, a team who until very recently were in the league below are destroying us for transfers, and we sit still doing nothing having just been beaten by another side who were very recently in the league below...
How about we go into this one absolutely buzzing to be kicking off in our brilliant new stadium, not moaning because we haven't signed enough players yet?
Can practically hear the half time boos from some already, it's embarrassing.
So the time has finally come . Our first league game at the new stadium. Call it what ye like but its going to a special occasion.
Brighton are the visitors a side who on their day can be very good indeed.
Last nights defeat sees this fine forum...
It’s always going to look makeshift when you don’t have a right back, a left back or a right winger. The club are at least as culpable as the players/Moyes for last night.

Gutted we...
We need a RB and a RW obviously but our biggest problem is midfield!
The reason why we launch it so often is we have nobody who wants the ball of the CBs, nobody is confident or good enough enough to get it and dictate the play,
That was poor...
I've been banging this drum all summer. Our midfield is soooo bad. I love Gana but the wheels have got to fall off that wagon at some point, especially if he's carrying the whole thing on his back. And he was never particularly great on the ball...
Forwards got a lot of stick for barely being involved last night but that, in my opinion, was down to midfielders not progressing the ball a) quickly enough and b) forwards.
Look at the move early-ish doors second half where the ball went into...
A prope CM changes everything for team, he speeds the game up when necessary and slows it down if unde the cosh. He also decides what side we attack on.
Even our passes are slow they are rolled into each other not pinged.
