On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate this transfer window a 6.

Compared to 2-3 for the past few years.

Can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the actual quality of the signings, particularly Benayoun :shock: but it made a nice change to actually be involved in a transfer window last day.

The signings still all fit into the normal buying policy of the club. Main difference is that at least some of them have Prem experience which is a plus.

Don't get the Benayoun one at all. Arteta a poor mans Fabregas but a decent signing at this stage. The two defenders remain to be seen, Metersacker promising signing but lack of pace could be an issue, which isn't so bad if TV stays fit, but that is a big if. I don't think we are any stronger than last season.

The club should have made a "marquee" signing, obviously the extra quality is needed anyway but there would also be a feel good factor for the entire club.
