So 5 days left of the window .... 12:18 - Aug 25 with 3611 views

11 in the door which is probably in the region of what most fans expected, however, It doesn't feel like that will be the end of it just yet.

So 5 days left of the window and O'Shea & Clarke through the door, what are most of you thinking?

Incomings - Just the striker left? Another pacey option on the RW? Possibly a U21 keeper if Slicker goes on loan?

Outgoings - Ladapo (mutual consent), Edmundson (champ loan), Ali (champ loan), Slicker (SPL loan)

Ferguson of Brighton might be worth a look. Do we have 40 million left?

Assuming the Chelsea chap is a no go I’d look to loan in a better, young version of Kieffer Moore if there is one out there and leave it at that.

If there’s nothing out there, I’d stick with AAH (I like him) and wait until the January window.

Wonder what our budget is like for the striker considering we've already spent £92.5m (just in base fees, not add-ons) this window...

Yes one striker and we’re there.

Which is absolutely incredible to be almost done at this stage with a week to go.

Season starts Saturday.

I definitely didn't expect the business we've done.

Striker and keeper if Slicker leaves on loan.

Unless we want to create another squad place it doesn't need to be an U21 keeper?

I think they will tweak the Broja deal to bring him in. We're in the last 5 days and a lot of clubs still seem to be looking for a striker, which will make it even more of a sellers market at this stage.
Ipswich want to push the purchase of buying Broja to next year, and that's probably more about us nearing the top of our financial rules limit. Trying to buy a different striker now, especially if they've been first choice this season is going to result in some silly prices quoted this week.

I think the fees are higher than what most expected but most people were probably in the 8-10 range for signings?

I didn't expect 11+ incomings without any outgoings but in retrospect I am sure they were needed.

I agree with this, I'm not in the least but surprised in the number of players we've got it. I am surprised by how much we've paid for those players. I was expecting more of the new players to be an upgrade on the back up players not an upgrade on the first teamers.

I must admit I do have a little nagging worry about this amount of money being spent and the amount of new first teamers to bed in. That amount of change certainly will change the dynamic of the dressing room. Let's hope they all get along and a similar feel to the team spirit can be achieved. We have managed to get some top talent in the door and if they do click we're going to have another fun year. Fingers crossed McKenna is up to this different challenge.

It's exciting and worrying all at the same time. I'd much rather be worrying about how we'll fare against the best teams in Europe rather than Forrest Green though!

Think another number 9 will arrive but have no idea who

A few may leave incl ladapo and ge will probably move somewhere in the championship, slicker to move out on loan

Don’t know why but I really wouldn’t be surprised to see Sarmiento come through the door if the price is only £6/7million.

Surely we're set for 10s now? I think the only real need now is an experienced 9. Perhaps a keeper at a push if the plan is to let Slicker go out on loan.

I would suspect that if Sarmiento joined Broadhead would be on his way out.

I am not sure we would do that at the moment but Sarmiento has more potential I would say.

I just hope we recoup a little bit of money on any departures. About time we realised that some of our fringe players are actually worth something.

This cannot be a serious suggestion? Why on earth would Brighton sell/loan there first choice striker to us?

Yeah, I'd agree with this, to be honest. Think AAH will be able to make an impact, and with Hirst returning and Delap getting better every match seemingly, I think it wouldn't be a terrible position to be in.

Far more signings than I expected

More players in and money spent than I expected. I thought 8 in and around £80m spend. But I like the business we've done. As I think someone said on here the other day, KM has put together a Championship dream team'. As such it should be able to survive in the prem.

I wouldn't be surprised it we don't leave the striker until Jan - but then KM has been pretty keen to get a 9 in so I wouldn't be surprised if we do sign one.

I expect Ladapo and Fridge to leave. Plus at least a couple of others.

I also just think there is quite a dearth of strikers that fit the bill for us. How many strikers of Broja's profile and potential are available on loan? Not sure we have the sort of money needed left to spend this summer on a permanent deal.

I still think Broja may join as well. Depends what the issue is I guess and if it is us wanting to renegotiate terms or if we/our insurers just think it is too risky.
