January Transfer Window round-up

January Transfer Window Shut!

Right so now that the January Transfer Window has shut, I can't buy any more players until the Summer! Hopefully I will get some good players in when I get promoted!

Anyway in this window I managed to bring in 4 good players. to be honest though, I had hoped at the start of the window that I would get a new Centre-back to bolster my options. Unfortunatly I couldn't agree on a price for Burnley defender Michael Duff, who I thought could jump straight into the team. But it didn't happen and that was it.

On the upside though, I am happy with my successful transfers, with the likes of MacBeth Sibaya and Florian Marange joining Southampton. Let me show you the full list of failed transfers, successful incoming and outgoing transfers too!

Failed Bids...

Outgoings...

- I got rid of Graeme Murty, but we are still paying most of his wage until the end of the Season! :(

+ I'm looking forward to seeing who impresses on-loan at league 2 and down clubs :)

+ I am also happy to get a good profit from the whole Maranon saga :)

Incomings...

- Adegoroye is one for the future, maybe breaking into the team next Season :P

+ I am also delighted at the captures of Marange, Sibaya and even Sun Jihai :)

I'm hopeful that these players will help my team push-on for a play-off place to get promotion! :D
