So there you have it.
The transfer window is closed. We only got through two transfer threads on the front page because of the lack of action and obviously the turmoil of the manager leaving.
Only signing in was Stephen Ireland + bundles of dosh with James Milner going the other way.
Who have we missed? Not sure much of note happened but nevertheless, like everyone, I'd have loved to see someone, anyone...!?!.... arrive. Hey ho, is it too early to start the January transfer window thread?!
I've mostly only counted PL and SPL clubs).

Yup, correct, I need to get out more!
The intention was to assess the links, see who we did and didn't get. The manager departure did really affect the press links though, so would be unfair to rip into them! I do think some were based on what they thought MON would go for. Hey ho. See you in January! lol
