I for one think this has been one of the best transfer windows for us in a while. 11M for McCormack is beyond belief and I never really felt that Matt Smith was going to contribute meaningfully at this level. Poleon promised but never really delivered and now we have a slew of new signings that at leaf fill me with anticipation if not excitement yet. I LOVED Silvestri's reaction at the final whistle on Saturday, applauding the fans and pumping them up, he could be a real legend.Overall, I'm much more optimistic than I was three weeks ago, the Hoack has gone, we have new players in, if we can now get someone like Steve Clark or Grayson in to coach we could be a decent team and avoid relegation this year. Best, Jeremy
