Simple concept: rate the January transfer window. Rate it as it stands now and change your vote as it progresses. I'll take a daily average and we'll see how it moves as we near the end. This might not work at all but will more likely be a little bit dull but I thought I'd see if it worked and if it'll be worth doing in future. seasider, I've already put you down for a ten.

As it stands today I'm giving it a lowly one due to it being utterly pathetic in nature.
We've signed a Derby reserve and are chasing a former Scotland-based journeyman who seems to be past his best (still going to give the lad a chance ffs). We're also chasing a German pub player nicknamed 'The Beast'. Hopefully that's not a nickname he gained in a stint behind bars.
It's just fucking dire.

Couldn't resist as my first post ... a big fat Ronnie Brown. And that's only the case because this transfer window has been so bizarre!

The general consensus amongst our fans at the start of the window was that we can use it to strengthen in 3 or 4 positions and make a challenge for the top 2 . we've failed to do that in spectacular fashion. All we've done is get rid of a useful squad player in Hendrie and replaced him with a central midfielder who's been brought in to play as a makeshift right back. That's literally it. 25 days in and we've seen absolutely no improvements whatsoever. We've also gone from having a 7 point playoff cushion to clinging on by a point due to leaving it so late. You could argue the damage has already been done. As things stand it's been an awful window, one of the worst I can remember.

Couldn't resist as my first post ... a big fat Ronnie Brown. And that's only the case because this transfer window has been so bizarre! It's open season on vacant avatars round these parts. I recommend you get one toot sweet. The question that I keep measuring this window by is, 'are these the signings of a team aiming to get promoted?'. So far they just look like ever more squad filler. I'm rapidly reaching the conclusion that we haven't a fucking clue what we're doing, what's required for a team going for promotion or what the going rate is for players of the quality we need. Barring about three cracking signings now this transfer window has been a shambles. Welcome to the forum by the way.

I'm going to judge it on the 1st of Feb FFS.

So far, it makes all the comments since August about strengthening a whole load of fucking lies.

Totally underwhelming. It's like we've walked into Hugo Boss with £10 and seem surprised all we can afford is one shoelace.

Big fat zero 0 and I don’t see it getting better under these owners

On a scale of 0-10, I’d rate this window as like getting syphillis.

The most depressing thing about this whole approach is that the simple minded Gompers will still lap it up. ‘Give them a chance FFS’. They’re trusting people just because they’ve said ‘trust us’ despite the clear and evident pattern of talking big and doing the opposite.
At the risk of a horribly offensive and ignorant comparison, it’s like the Jews being marched off to Auschwitz whilst being told ‘don’t worry, it’s all bollocks, it’s rustic’. Those cunts we’re German too.
Bit extreme but I think it serves the point well. So fuck off.

If we sign Lund I'm going up two points.

I've lost all interest after all the lies and fake stories and the totally underwhelming work we've done so far. Although a proper signing might make me change my mind about coming down Saturday for the game

It's not even over yet but you all still can't resist moaning. Just wait until the 4 German internationals rock up on the 31st 👍

As at 21:00hrs the average rating for this year's January transfer window is a colossal 1.25.
Check back at this time tomorrow for further updates, stats fans.

I've bumped my score up from a 1 to a 3. Regardless of what you think of the Brunker signing, it's a huge improvement on playing NKP as a backup target man.

I'm not sure if he improves us significantly although if replaces McMahon and can actually defend its a tick. Lund will be an excellent signing. It's about time we use the loan market to bring in some quality.

After a terrible run of form potentially the only new players available to play on Saturday will be the German pub league player and Lund if he signs.
Add to this that Robinson and another unnamed player is injured and we are no better off. Valley parade could be empty at half time.
