For me Stoke had a superb Transfer Window on a very good season before, getting most transfer business done early and without spending huge amounts

They bought largely from known quantity picking up the experienced campaigners in Sidwell and Bardsley and picking up impressive loans in Moses and Assaidi which thankfully means to most Stoke fans not having John Walters as first choice.
Diouf looks a good signing up front as does getting the best out of Krkic, they still have Crouch to call on also

Strength in depth especially at the back is a worry if Bardsley/Pieters/Huth/Shawcross is first choice there isn't real quality behind those four as there is other areas of the pitch
And Surely the likes of Palicios and Shea need to be moved off the wage bill?

Dunno if this is to stay here or move to Absract but thought I'd start it off....I have 13 matches tonight so better get the teams picked.....a managers life is a busy one.

Reckon QPR had a good transfer window and certainly the spends on Deadline day are in the right direction after an ominous start to the new campaign

Alex McCarthy is a decent keeper and a good buy for the future
Its the steel of Sandro that will probably help most giving more space for the likes of Fer and Krancjar
Not getting a forward and losing Remy didn't help,im sure Rangers fans are hoping Austin can score at this level or its a long wait til January for a replacement given only Hoilett and Zamora are back up
I hope young English players brought in like Mutch and Caulker develop well both could be decent in the long run

The long unsolved left back problem

any other ideas apart from Shinnie who we could realistically get? and please no Kirk Broadfoot mentions

ALLY MCCOIST is delighted that Gers starlet Lewis Macleod is back in the Scotland under-21 set-up for this week’s Euro qualifiers against Slovakia and Luxembourg.
The talented midfielder missed a lot of last season due to illness but has bounced back in style this term, scoring four goals from his seven competitive outings so far.
Returning to Billy Stark’s plans at international level has been another boost for 20-year-old Lewis who will be hoping to get more match action under his belt in the next few days.
The games against Slovakia and Luxembourg – which will be played in Senec on Thursday and Differdange next Monday – are the last in Group 3 for the young Scots and two victories could see them clinch second place. But with only the best four of the 10 runners-up from all groups advancing the chances of Stark’s kids progressing further are slim.
McCoist, however, is just pleased Macleod has been included in the squad. Speaking at Murray Park he said: “It’s brilliant. I saw Lewis here yesterday training with the 21s and it’s great to see him back in the international set-up. He deserves it. His form so far this season has been very, very pleasing and we are delighted for him.”

Hibernian have signed up Celtic midfielder Dylan McGeouch and Southampton striker Jake Sinclair on season-long loan deals.
McGeouch, 21, spent time on loan with Coventry City last season, making just eight appearances as a substitute.
Sinclair, 19, made his Southampton debut in the League Cup last season.
"I'm delighted we have added both Dylan and Jake - they will offer us something different and strengthen our attacking options," said Hibs boss Alan Stubbs.
"Dylan comes to us with a high reputation earned at Celtic and we see him playing in a more central role in midfield.
"His energy and quality will give extra impetus to the team and we're looking forward to seeing him perform for Hibs.
"Jake will give us a few options in attack; through the middle and out wide. He is a really exciting player with genuine pace, who can hurt the opposition.
"He is an up-and-coming talent, who we've been aware of for some time."

A good bit of business for the Cabbage, and a much needed boost for their hard pressed fans. Sure Tynie will be pleased.

Hibernian have confirmed they have released Welsh international midfielder Owain Tudur Jones.
The 29-year-old arrived at Easter Road in May 2013 and made 19 appearances.
Jones had previously enjoyed a successful two-year spell with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

New signing Stefan Scepovic has insisted Celtic were always "his first choice" and denied saying he did not want to join the Scottish champions. This is after knocking them back at the last moment

The Serbian striker's move to Celtic appeared to break down amid reports he was signing for Getafe, but 24 hours later he sealed a £2.3m switch to Scotland on transfer deadline day.
"My first option was always Celtic," Scepovic said as he was unveiled by the club on Tuesday.
"I never said I didn't want to come."
The 24-year-old hitman, who netted 22 goals for Sporting Gijon in Spain's second tier last term, revealed he had spoken to Getafe but was not close to joining the La Liga outfit.
He said there was some confusion over the comments he made about his move and he is now keen to look ahead after penning a four-year deal with Ronny Deila's side.

Well, he has to say that, but he will HAVE to hit the ground running, or the fans will turn on him

SFA and SPFL appeal to Fifa over Celtic's move for John Guidetti. The SFA and SPFL are in the process of contacting football's world governing body Fifa to ask for dispensation to register John Guidetti at Celtic.
The SPFL is satisfied that all the paperwork was in order but as it was filed after midnight on deadline day, a case is now being made for the deal to be allowed to proceed.
Celtic attempted to sign the Manchester City forward on loan on Monday night.
The 22-year-old is in the final year of his deal at the Etihad Stadium.
A joint statement from the SFA and SPFL read: "The SPFL had a 23:00 transfer deadline in place for registrations while the Scottish FA had a midnight deadline.
"At 22:56, the SPFL received a request from Celtic FC to extend the SPFL deadline for registration of John Guidetti to fall in line with the Scottish FA midnight deadline. The SPFL agreed to this request.

Sounds like a bit of jiggery pokery in favour of Celtic to me, but such is life thee days.

Manager Gordon Strachan admits Scotland are in a battle for second spot as they prepare to kick off their campaign to reach the Euro 2016 finals.
Strachan's side face World Cup winners Germany in Dortmund on Sunday in their opening match of qualifying Group D.
Republic of Ireland, Poland, Georgia and Gibraltar are also in the group.
"Germany will qualify. Poland, Scotland, Georgia and Ireland for the other two spots, that's a mini league," Strachan told BBC Scotland.

Scotland have not qualified for a major tourney since 1998, and although group D is a toughy, I think , Germany aside, who will win it with their eyes shut, Scotland have a chance. Poland are the biggest threat, but if we continue to improve, Euro 2016 in France could be seeing the Tartan Army after an 18 year gap.
