Harry came out and said that the team wasnt good enough, and to be fair I thought that was him having a get out of jail free card just in case things dont pan out for him and he could blame what he inherited. He has stuck to his guns and basically re-drafted the first team squad . I'm assuming that he had the final say in everything and if so then I have to take my hat off to him and hopefully eat a very large piece of humble pie doused in blueberry cream at the end of the season. Given the funds we have and that we havent broke the bank to replace those that were not up to the job, I would say that Harry has given the Blues some of the tools to enable us to give it a right good go this season.

It isnt perfect but there must be a buzz back in the team now, some optimism from the fans as well, the proof will be where we end up but I'm pretty certain it will be higher than it would have been if he had just sat back and done nothing about it.

Harry's laid the gauntlet down by saying top 6. He and the players have no other choice than to achieve it.

Interesting times ahead

"Massively disappointed." Massive? As in "Exceptionally large"? You were exceptionally disappointed? After signing much-coveted players for the first time in ages? After actually outbidding other teams for the first time in ages? After signing players who for the most part fit into a good age range, and are not the list of has-beens many predicted? Fair enough, your call. :silence:

Of course, the other definition of Massive is "A large mass", and I'm sorry but my call is that there really is a mass of scare-mongering ill-informed nonsense in the original post.

We have released kieftenbeld, yes he is limited in possession but he is mobile puts himself about and is probably our most improved player over that last year. and he has gone for 600k......ridiculous.


Kief was a good player in the 'typical' Blues Fashion of recent seasons. A fashion that offers endeavour and energy, but which has seen us become somewhat dour and increasingly blunt as any kind of attacking force. If we didn't have a player in Kief's image, then we should have kept him. Luckily we do: last year's player of the season, and the actual most improved player, David Davis. The fact we turned down approaches for Derby for DD and that Kief was their back-up speaks volumes. It also suggests Harry has come to the realisation that Davis is indeed a central midfielder, and we will be playing last year's player of the season (worth re-iterating said fact in the post-Kief meltdown) in his best position. There aren't many who do that destructive role better than him in our division.

We have released or loaned out Frei, fabbrini, keita, Donaldson, keift, shotton, players who all offer something and have ability and replaced them with mainly loans.


So what exactly did Frei and Fab really, genuinely offer in the end? In a team that was bereft of flair, a wasteland of the workmanlike, they offered tantilising flashes. All too often flattered to deceive, offering little of substance. A turn here, a cross there, a lovely free kick. But what else? I was tempted to say when have they done it consistently - but it would probably be more accurate to say when have they just done it at all? As for Don? Absolutely loved him to bits in his first couple of seasons and he carried Clark/Rowett's team for a year and a half. There's a thread on SHA now entitled 'The Clayton Donaldson Appreciation Thread.' 50 posts eulogsing the guy - and he deserves it. But he is 33, and injuries and international duty have ground him down. He deserves a heroes welcome when he returns, and also deserves the chance to play at a club where he will not be fifth choice.

And the loans we have brought in are considered some of the best young players around right now. A bit like when Boro signed Bamford on loan, or Watford signed Chalobah on loan. Or even like when we signed Larsson, Muamba and Bendtner. That worked out alright. We've traded in tried-and-failed for young and exciting.

Yes we broke our record on jota but 6 mill is nothing this day and age.


You're right. Six million is a relatively small amount to pay for one of the most talented players in the division, a player who scored 12 goals in 21 games from the wing and garnered 5 assists. A player who every single club in our division would have signed if their fans had their way. Some clubs, such as Derby have page after page after page hoping and praying and hoping some more that they sign him. But they didn't. We did. For half the price that Vile paid for a striker who cannot even make his way past his electric gate. We've got a bargain, and other teams are staring at us with envy and consternation. Interesting that you bat aside the signing of a player with such a proven record and don't mention the Brentford fans' reactions to him leaving, but focus on how Blackburn fans didn't rate Lowe. Did you deliberately go searching for the negative, or is this a bit of selective editing?


True, I would have liked a new, proven CDM, but here's a caveat: with our increased attacking impetus, that role becomes less crucial anyway. Why do we spend so much time defending? Why was it crucial to stuff the midfield with three ratters that blurred into a Kiefenteschvis homogeneous blur of grit and flailing tackles and blood and yellow cards? Because with an increasingly immobile front line and flair players like Frei and Fab sulking and diving, the ball kept coming back and back and back. Rowett had no choice but to work with that approach. Harry has a choice - and he would clearly like to see us on the front foot. I just hope the gerrintoem and smackitforward and kickizeadin brigade don't suddenly soil themselves when they see the likes of Boga and Jota trying to actually play football.

No, such payers may not run around like Kief and co, but here's the thing. For the past few seasons, we've watched team after team play us and demonstrate skill and finesse that we could only dream of. We had to make do with sweat and tears and granite, which was fine for a while. But things had started to slide under Rowett, Zola was obviously an inept and shambolic catastrophe, but it was clear that some players had either downed tools or had run out of steam. The same has been evident under Harry. We could have tried to plough the same furrow in increasingly futile circles, but Harry has realised there needs to be a fundamental culture change. Not a Zola-esque "lets play tikki takka to nobody nowhere for no purpose" aimless style, but a fast-paced and energetic forward-thinking team that can actually use the ball in the opposition half. It'll be the most fun we've had since Hughton.


And if you're still massively disappointed with the window, let's consider the following:

- We've swapped an aging, increasingly error-prone goalkeeper for last season's official best keeper in the division.

- We've replaced the erratic Nsue with a highly-rated very classy right back whose fans are gutted to see him go.

- We now have three CBs who were all captain at their respective clubs.

- We've signed the stand out creative midfielder/forward in the division.

- In N'Doye and Gardner we have players who have proven their quality elsewhere. They may have both had a couple of poor games lately, but N'Doye certainly did a sound job against Ipswich and shone against Bristol. Gardner is the ideal super-sub, coming on to menace the edge of the opposition area.

- We've signed a pacy wide player who has already started this season for Chelsea's first team. He was good enough to start for the Champions of England.

- We've signed a player from Everton's youth squad who they absolutely rave about (and they have a history of bright young things.)

- We've signed a forward from Southampton who is highly-rated and attracted late Premier League attention.

- We've not sold anybody we didn't want to sell for the first time in ages - Che and Davis stayed.


Considering a couple of weeks back our forward line was Don and Juke being fed by Davis on one wing and Mags on the other, I think there's really an awful lot to be cheerful about.

What a good read!

I think I will print that off!

Great attitude, great supporter.

Thanks for taking the time to craft such a good response to a negative one - that blows it into the water!

Well done you.

Wonder if JT has his bus pass yet? Probably wish that he had it so he could go back to London. Trouble is he would have to go into quarantine for 6 months after playing for that lot at B6. :ph43r:

The biggest winner of the window is probably David Davis

Kief gone
Ndoye out of form
Gleeson out of form and lucky to still be here
Onazi, Badu, Acquah and Song deals falling through
Only bringing a young lad on loan from Everton who Harry probably won't trust at this level
Having an offer for him rejected by the club signalling their faith in him

He's got a big opportunity to make himself a key part of the team

If Harry wouldn't trust a young player at this level why would he bring him in? believe me this kid can play he is quality, he will get games

As a fan I am concerned with what is in my opinion the most important part of any team, your centre midfielder. Yes we have got some decent forwards potentially, yes we have some better defenders, potentially. But if what's in-between isn't great, then we aren't in a good position. And of anyone thinks I'm being negative......we have had less possession than pretty much every team weve played so far this season, and most teams have been easy games on paper.

This is because our cm is not good enough!!! And we've had a whole transfer window to improve it and imo we havent!! I stick by it our cm if anything has been weakened by letting keiftenbeld go and bringing in poor back up players to replace. Kieftenbeld imo, from what I've seen so far, is far better than n'doye.

Harry has chased cms for weeks in the transfer window and we were linked with onazi, Badu, acquah, and wilshere for God sake. INTERNATIONAL players.and what have we bought in a young kid without a senior appearance and a league 1 cast off.

Take your blue tinted glasses off and be realistic, we have a pee poor cm and have done for ages hence we have struggled to retain possession of the ball. We can have the best forwards in the world but if we can't get the ball to them in decent forwards positions we are in trouble.

Only time will tell, and I don't want this to happen but unless harry has pulled one our of the stars with this kid from Everton then our cm is our weakness and it's a huge weakness at that.

Firstly I think you should have renamed this thread 'we needed a quality CMplayer' and not how massively disappointed you are in the transfer window

Secondly when was the last time we injected this much potential quality into the club in one transfer window??

Thirdly we do have players whom could potentially fill that midfield role...for me this transfer window was more about width,pace and sorting out our dreadful lack of attacking options

HR has done that....so to be massively disappointed with this transfer window is probably because expectations were raised to high

When all is fit and have gelled I can assure you ,this will be an exciting squad

Blues fans do make me smile. For goodness sake we have no right to have eleven brilliant players in every position as we are if you have not noticed not very good and have not been for some time.

We have however during this transfer window worked extremely hard to build a squad based on the type of player we can attract and with a budget available. We were after all looking for players across the team and if we needed just a midfielder, I am sure we would have spent 6-10m and obtained the right one. We have because of the sheer amount of players required, bought very well and better hsn what we have in midfield is not available for the funds available.

I can’t wait for the next match to witness what Harry has assembled and look forward to seeing us get better over the next 6 matches.

Hey here’s in thing. We could upgrade the middle in January assuming we put a strong push in between now and then? We are owned by people who want to sell after 2 years and this is now a club I would be interested in buying but certainly would not have been last May

CM a disaster?? You mean the chase for a CM has been disastrous there is a difference

Also we do have players whom can play that role....You are aware of that??

The OP was to highlight how disappointed they were with the transfer window ,when in fact this has been a highly rewarding window for blues....so I don't agree with your CM comment and I don't agree with the original poster

I'll reserve judgement until our next few games, but... I think people will be pleasantly surprised by the difference of having full backs, wingers and forwards who can run with the ball.

We have players who can unlock games now. I mean, wow... we really have those players. All we need in the middle are some 'ratters' who can play it simple. Gardner, N'Doye and Davis can all do that. Apparently this Walsh kid has some class about him too.

I expect gardner to be told to sit back like ndoye and protect the back 4, we have tried to experiment with our squad pre last week with different styles of play but to put it bluntly they are technically not good enough, cotts & maggs were technically our best players before the last few days of the window

But don't you think they deserved a rocket after the woeful second half against Burton. I also think he had to do that for the board to see he wasn't happy and that he needed them to back him in the transfer window.

Good for you. Redknapp and Deeney both said the players didn't try for Zola. You know that's true, you can't be in the play off spots and relegation places the next. Redknapp said players were refusing to make an effort. So good for him for making that public, letting us know what's happening at the club instead of sugar coating with his address to the media.

I can't wait for certain players to enjoy their useless loans to no name clubs or rot in our reserves while Jota is drifting in from either wing, smashing home 30 yard pile drivers. I look forward to the following media statements from Harry after this.

You mean not being a redknapp fan that's the difference. I see things differently, I think had he shown more better man management I would be happy with him. I don't like how he publicly ruined the players. :copno:
HR is too prove himself correct

Ruining the players?? You mean not pussy footing around them saying how unlucky they were or they did their best??

I was dropped from a match (obviously Sunday league) after what I thought was a good game for me, the team went on to win and I wasn't chosen (as a sub )to play for 3matches.. I went ballistic told a few mates to F off and was adamant I wasn't gonna play for them....I was livid

I was begged to play after a short hiatus and reluctantly I agreed ....in all fairness I was chomping at the bit to prove them wrong....I went in all guns blazing scored 1 goal and had a blinder of a game

Now the point I'm making is this....them subbing me and not playing me was as good as if not worse than being called not good enough

If a manager said I wasn't good enough, do you think for one minute I'd roll over and say ok??

No and neither would or should these.....these players are permanently in the shop window throughout all of their careers

Ruined them my backside

Harry said it as it is - good for him. Often managers won't criticise players in the press to maintain team morale. But if there is ever a case where a player or players don't try for a manager then the fans should be told and if over more than one game the players kicked out as quickly as possible. I'm glad he said it and this will be one of the reasons why he has built a new team. KRO.

He said what we all said either on the terraces or on forums, cannot see what is wrong there, we're all saying we are shi7 we are and the manager says your doing great lads - don't add up. If the players can't take criticism them they should not be playing simple as that. They did well last couple of games last season and hot the praise, they have not done well in said games this season and rightly got b*****ked.
