Bit shocked at the negativity surrounding this transfer window! We have spent big and secured all our top players with long term contracts, granted contracts are not worth the paper they are written on, however it secures the future value of the player.

We have had a dramatic 12 months of improvement, people need to realise we are a long term project, to expect us to buy another 3 or 4 players yesterday and be challenging for the league is pretty ridiculous. We have improved our squad since last season and will have another great season.

COYB!

All in all we have got to be quite pleased with the deals that have been done during the window. But, considering we let a defender go and the way we are conceding goals, it would not have hurt to bring in another cb. We can take positives from deadline day though. At least nobody was poached at the last minute, giving us no time to replace them. Oh and Cleverley didn't turn up at FF too :)

It's embarrassing sometimes Marty, we have spent more than ever, secured all our prime assets and not let anyone of importance go, got eto'o on a 2 year contract which will make Lukaku world class with the experience he gets off him, yet there are loads of moaning so called Blues going on and on about where is all the money Kenwright, why have you not bought a CB Martinez and so on.

Sort your heads will ye, none of us have any idea how the finances of a huge club work so stop trying to guess where the money has gon, and before the Bill haters reply, you name me a better owner than him, I know he doesn't have the money but he has the clubs best interests at heart.

On our defensive situation, it will be fine, Jags and Distin don't become crap overnight, relax and enjoy the ride with Bobby

Bring it on you moaning negative always got to knock the club sad miserable sods

As I said Degs, we have to be, on the whole, happy with the way we have conducted our deals within the window. You're right when you say that our two central defenders don't become bad players overnight. However, it is blatantly obvious that they are not tearing up trees at the moment and that cover is quite sparse. Stones is good cover but Alcaraz has been poor in nearly every appearance so far. An injury to either of the two you mentioned, or their form not picking up sufficiently, leaves us short at the back and that has to be a worry
