He's delighted because he knows something we don't...."he hasn't ruled out further business in the loan window should the right player be available."

Hughton says he is very happy with his squad, but he hasn't ruled out further business in the loan window should the right player be available.

He told SeagullsPlayerHD, "To bring in the players we have over this period, and some was done very early in the window, I am really delighted with the work done.

"We have also done some business with players going out which will give them a real good opportunity to play the games that they need to. We have good levels and good numbers in squad.

"The loan market is always there, and that is to go out or come in. I am very happy with the squad, but if we feel there is somebody who can improve the squad, or more so the team, then you have to be open to it.

"At this moment I am delighted with what I have on this final day of the window. It is for myself and this group of players to get our ultimate aim and keep pressure on those top teams and give ourselves an opportunity for promotion."

Quality wingers, for me, are the key to a successful team. Arsenal had Pires and Ljunberg, United had Giggs and Beckham. Chelsea had Robben and Duff.

Could we have the strongest set of wingers in the league right now? I think so.

Loosing no-one we didn't want to is massive. Concerned we might have someone come in for Stevens or Kayal which could have derailed what we have. Very pleased with the window. Another striker would have been useful but can't have everything. Knockaert is the signing of the season for me.

When I consider our trading over the past few seasons I'm also delighted. Not perfect, but considering how well we kicked the season off I am overcome with optimism, this squad has been seriously reinforced.....I'm a happy little bunny tonight. :cute:

I'm delighted too,

Sidwell
Knockaert
Skalak

I suspect are awesome signings, Ridgewell has helped, and Towell is one for the future hopefully.



We may even get a striker ( Murray ) and a 28 day left back in the very last loan window.

Agree that we have quality options out wide, which give us pace, which is essential to us going up.

22:59, way past my bedtime, my window is now closed, 'smashed' shut!

Squad looks pretty impressive to me. Knockaert looks really special, and Sidwell gives us experience and cover in centre midfield. Czech guy could be excellent too ... we'll see.

Add to that the return of Hunemeier and Bong, and Kaz's comeback, and we have a very good Championship team. I suspect we've yet to see the best of Wilson because of his illness but am expecting great things as the weeks progress. Plus, like others, I wouldn't be surprised if a loan striker is being lined up.

Good transfer window I'd say.

And don't forget Rosenior too, quality cover for either fullback also midfield.
We have a very tidy squad now.

Just look at the team we had with Gus in the first season back in the championship.. Finished 4 points outside of automatic promotion(better goals for/against) and our top scorer was CMS with 11 goals... If we can get Zamora, Hemed, Wilson, Baldock, LuaLua and Knockaert all to chip(I believe all capable of 7-10+ each) in we won't necessarily need anyone else. That's not to say I wouldn't be happy if we got a proven championship goal scorer in, I just think it is possible to do without one.

Without being pedantic, I'm pretty sure we didn't finish 4 points off auto promo in our first season back - we came 10th or 11th I think. But yes I think the squad is probably stronger now...

I think the squad is a decent squad and capable of promotion.

The missing ingredient for me at the moment is Confidence but hopefully the new signings, the players coming back from injury and the recent couple of wins will have brought back the earlier confidence.

Early season we dominated teams and that made teams fear us a bit. Hopefully that is back. The next 5 games will tell with some away games coming up shortly

I deliberately didn't look that up as I like to run the risk of looking silly so glad my memory served me well this time :lol:
