Well the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. .4/10 at a stretch.
Sold another world class player and banked the money. Replaced him with fresh air.
Early exits in both domestic cups despite having no European football to contend with.
Missed out on the Champions League following an alarming drop off in form as our paper thin squad again began to show its cracks.
Lost at home to our 3 closest rivals taking 2 points from 18 in total.
Trophyless season #16 on the bounce
Actually, 3/10 would be more like it.

So Vicario, van de Ven, Udogie, Johnson and Madison are a 3/10?
I think your tranny meds need to be recalibrated mate.
Asked to rate the transfer window but you ended up rating the season lol
Anyway it's a bit of a redundant question, no one really knows how good the transfer business was until the players come to the end or near to the end of their tenure with the club, case in point Summer 2019, at the time people called it a masterstroke, ended up being a disaster.
Yeah but defending is overrated, gimme a Transfer window of Barkley, Veerman, Eze, Williams, Olise and the best no.9 money can buy.
Maybe bring in Vinicius jr aswell as a cheap punt
The season is the net result of the transfer window, surely.
If the squad isn't good enough to progress in any cup competition and gradually deteriorated as the season progressed that’s symbolic of the transfer window, surely.
If we keep having all these great transfer windows you guys rate 9/10 or 10/10 why does it never translate to meaningful success?
Ever?

No because you don't sign players for 1 season generally and the players that you sign isn't made up of the entire squad
It's like saying signing no one in 2018 contributed to us reaching the CL final so it was an 8/10 window, it doesn't make sense
Pointless exercise rating windows, for now at least anyway.
No, the season is a result of an accumulation of transfer windows and academy development.
The players we brought in last summer were quality, but our squad as a whole isn't good enough.
You won’t even tell us what a 9/10 or 10/10 window even looks like though.The season is the net result of the transfer window, surely.

Your probably right. But the French geezer specifically asked me to rate it.
So I politely obliged.
Because of referees and the media agenda against the clubIf we keep having all these great transfer windows you guys rate 9/10 or 10/10 why does it never translate to meaningful success?

Can't understand people saying you can't rate a transfer window by the season. How do you rate it?
We have not had a Great Transfer window in 20 +. We've had windows that we were lucky with our purchases, but we've never had a window that guaranteed success.
Levy is always taking a punt. I think back to when we swapped Lamela + a pretty packed for Bryan Gil. The punt on Rodon. The punt on Bergwjin. The Punt on Richie, The Punt on Johnson. The punt on Emerson, The Punt on Spence.....
The list of punts is way longer than the list of proven players. Which window could have been anything better than a 4/10 or a 5/10. Maybe when we bought Klinsmann or Gazza

Already given you an example why you can't rate a TW by season - look what happened in 2019, broke our Transfer record, everyone rated it highly and was excited by it but ended up being our worst transfer window on record.
Dream transfer would be to bring in Pepe
Imagine him & Romero together
