I think this transfer windows showed how ruthless the PL really is 07:18 - Aug 31 with 731 views | billabasblue | Ashton has always managed to get the players we wanted in the Championship & League 1 but negotiating and landing PL players is a totally different ball game with so many more variables. I personally am pleased we didn’t break the bank to get Broja I never felt comfortable with that deal signing an injured player with the insistence of a huge fee at the end seemed a big risk and has never worked well for us in the past, obviously the fact that we spent the whole of August trying to sign him with several failed attempts only for our main relegation rival to sign him from Under us is disappointing and hopefully not something we live to regret . I think the disappointing part is we didn’t have a plan B and weren’t able to land another striker which makes Delap our most important player at the club now as any long term injury to him means we will have a bigger struggle on our hands than needed , I’m not sure if Hirst will prove PL standard but let’s hope he does . Overall apart from the striker issue it’s been a very good window IMO and the club have really backed the manager extremely well so just now need to see the players Gel very quickly and then hopefully we will be ok . A point or more today is really important for confidence and morale |  | | |  |

This season is about 4th bottom and every subsequent season will be about upgrading a few to gradually become an established side. |  | |  |
I think this transfer windows showed how ruthless the PL really is on 08:48 - Aug 31 with 526 views | Facefacts | Ruthless is quite a kind word to describe it. I'd say it was corrupt. A closed shop. So much to learn, so many principles to compromise. Eats you up and spits you out. Is taking Luton a while to get their Championship bearings back again. I'd say we need to keep our integrity, if we want to stay in this league, not be like the likes of Everton and Chelsea. |  | |  |
