Tbf Mdwat that wasn’t the question
Okay, that’s fair. I would class it as mostly successful but missing a left back.

There are areas I’d like us to strengthen further but not to the extent that I’d suggest the window was unsuccessful.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

A striker. And then hopefully another central midfielder.

Assuming the quality is high but a left back, right winger, striker and centre midfielder and we’d feel about balanced.

Assume 2 of those will be Prem loans.

Re: Match day prices

Why would you charge £10 per head?

Could get every game for £190 when a season tickets costs at least 2.5x that.

Don’t disagree with your general point, but your starting point is £35 per game to make it worthwhile for season ticket holders. Otherwise we’d have none!
