The most important thing in the next ten days is trying to shift Besic, Bolasie, Pennington et al. If we can add another attacking option from the championship that would make us all feel a bit more comfortable.
However, if we look big picture at this window the encouraging thing is that we have a DoF in Brands who believes in the collaborative approach with managers rather than just buying players & telling the manager to get on with it. This was a weakness dealing with Sam & Silva as their judgement was terrible but their egos were massive but it is a real strength now that we have Carlo (judgement is massive but ego is well controlled). That combination has given us our most focused, structured and effective window of the Moshiri era. Not perfect but it was never going to be perfect given how much mess we have to deal with but we have seen strong initial returns on the pitch.
It is clear that Carlo respects Brands and that suggests to me that getting Brands' contract extended is probably the next big signing we need to focus on as a club.
