I think it's been a pretty positive window overall and we have the feel good factor back.
My one worry is that we are a bit short at the back, I would've liked for us to sacrifice one of those wingers for defensive cover.
I just hope Ferguson's performance against Forest wasn't a one off and O'Shea can step up, if required, which is likely with Hegazi out and Bartley's injury record.
That said, the influx of young attacking players is a breath of fresh air. Austin could prove to be a coup if he maintains his fitness.
We have plenty of competition in midfield areas, so it'll be interesting to see if Bilic can keep everyone happy. I expect Diangana and Pereira to be knocking on the first team door with Willock possibly getting first team experience from the bench and in the cup, as his previous game time was with Benfica's B team.
Potentially exciting times.
