We should have had an option abroad. Even someone experienced as cover.
I genuinely think there's an argument to look for an experienced free agent out there if someone is available.

I got my A grade football licence recently. On my pro now. Its aint easy so i can imagine what tap dancing badges are like. Bet you have to do more demos than us.
I give it a 6 out of 10. Everything was very decent. Except the shambles of not getting a centre half.
Oh... and SELLLLLL Mirallas and Bolasie

As pleasing as our early business was, the failure to get zaha and a quality centre back in, has cost us a chance of getting in the top 6. We will be more entertaining to watch, great energy and pace in it, but still a little short in quality.
I've got an NVQ level 2 in football coaching mate which I think is the equivalent to a surgeons degree so if you need any help let me know, I've still got loads of felt tip pens from the coaching sessions I was drawing up
Congrats btw @diggerdestroyer 
Do you think brands et Al wont consider the free market?
The abroad option may not representrd value. We wouldn't have got mina for 27m this window. It would have been nearer 40.

Honestly send em on
I'm happy with it overall
Would have been a lot happier with a CB but we all think that so no point going into it
The question is : have we closed the gap in terms of quality to any of the teams above us? I'd suggest that we now have a stronger team (and maybe squad) than Man Utd - their midfield options are utterly horrific and their fans are fuming at the moment. Also think we've gotten closer to Chelsea, especially with them losing Hazard and the transfer ban.
Arsenal and Spurs have done demoralisingly decent business late on in the window (especially Spurs)
Rome wasn't built in a day and all that

Good window in my opinion. Bit light at middle of defense but maybe Holgate can step up and also might give Gibson or Feeney who are both good players a chance . Outgoing all ok for me. Gueye wanted out and never thought he was that great anyway - Lookman hated us and the rest just needed to go. Still time to offload miralles and Niasse in European window and Tosun worth another season
Iwobi could be very good for us and very excited to see keane
Expect to sign a centre back and strengthen again in January.
Are we now a better team / squad than in may - Big yes from me

My top 3 were
1 touch pass
2 touch control/pass
3 touch control/1 touch to weaker foot/pass
Apparently I was up there with the likes of Capello/Sachi/Conte when I made these simple suggestions to my class of 25 six year olds
I'm disappointed that they hadn't one option lined up abroad. The cost would have been well worth it.
We will need cover in January now anyway, even if it's only short term.
