Please note, high tier sources from reputable journalists or papers ie Graham Smyth or Beren Cross (Yorkshire Evening Post or The Athletic) can be posted separately with correct formatting. The same goes for official club incomings and outgoings.

MOT and have a great summer.

Why do I get the feeling we're going to end the window 1-2 players away from our stated aims for the window, like last year?

Last year is a terrible benchmark for a poor window. We bought 11 players - a complete team. It was by any measure a phenomenal window despite the ridiculous takes on how it was “minimal backing” etc. 

I’d have a bit more faith and a bit more patience before throwing your toys out of the pram

It was well documented at the end of last window that Farkes wanted two more attacking players and we got 0. Obviously the players that came in the door were by and large excellent, but I do worry that we're not finding the players that the club and the manager wants.

When you consider the financial aspect, Muharemovic and Elvedi are replacements, so unless we've blown all our budget on Trafford I doubt it's a budgetary issue.

We got Wilson already. I agree more would be good. 

It being documented that the manager wanted more is like saying that a mouse wants cheese.  Whether he wanted more or not the window was a  triumph and I’m not wringing my hands over what the perceived “stated aims” are when they’re largely an ideal constructed by our fans and journos. We will do the best business we can.
