Good call, watched them Vs Wolfsburg and Toon, Vs Wolfsburg thought to myself “what happened to the Wonderkid conveyor belt they had“ with Nmecha the only one who caught my attention.

I always thought rating transfer windows is pointless, no-one knows how players will turn out!
I'm sure there were people rating our transfer business pretty high in 2018, turned out to be one of our worst windows in recent times.
Big Ange alone, makes it a 10 (*thus far).
The improvement in virtually every player already here, his obvious feel for human characteristics (not wanting certain types, beyond a players highlight reel, night and day to Poch, who seemed to believe he could shape that Character aspect himself = LoCelso, NDombele).
Big Anges effect on Udogie (faith in starting him), Porro (shaping the team around deficiencies, assigning him a defensive coaching mentor), giving Son captaincy, Romero/Maddison vice and ejecting all former leadership members without a hint of morale degradation (utterly the opposite).
Bringing in Bissouma and Sarr.
VanDerVen = 10
Vicario = 10
Maddison = 10
Johnson = TBC but gives dynamism clearly, big attribute we were short on (HG as well, which made a choice pool much narrower).
Ange matching our DNA = 10
Ange being a media pied piper = 10
Ange taking no shit, but delivering in a way that has players wanting to improve and not getting disgruntled = 10
Maybe all those who voted less than 5 would like to change their vote ?
I very much doubt they will though.
I originally voted a 7 but have also changed to 10. What a great window even though losing Kane late with no direct replacement.
I wonder if we have most of that 100mil in the bank as with the exception of Johnson, we didn’t really spend big post Kane sale? Or maybe we spent it ahead of the sale knowing he was going, I don’t know.

It's said: One of the biggest blessings are unanswered prayers...some of those prayers were:
Nagelsmann/Pochettino/Slot over Angelos
David Gaya over of Vicario
Tapsoba (even Tosin) over van de Ven
Scott over Maddison
Obran Gift over...

I changed my vote now. Cheers.
Expecting people to change the vote is a bit lame.
Maybe their should be a separate poll that is 1 year after each window.
It’s obvious that when we rate a window at the end of that window, it is just guess work and you never know how it’ll turn out for years.
The ndombele window probably deserves a negative score whereas just about everyone underrated this window because no one expected VdV, vicario, and to a lesser extent Maddison, to be this good.

The thing that breaks me most about that season is, we're the only team to finish above a Pep Guardiola managed team, and not win the league.

We have a fair few such records don't we. Over the course that and the previous season we were CLEARLY the best team in the league, but we just didn't peak at the right time to claim a league title.
We were also absolutely purring in the CL the next season when we batterd RM, Dortmund etc. only to lose to Juve. A real what could have been kind of game.
A real kick in the teeth considering how the tie played out.
- 2-0 down at HT away at Juve.
- Dembele shifts into beast mode.... We dominate... 2-2
- Back to Wembley totally dominate first half. Only score 1, but 3-2 up with 2 away goals in our pocket.
- 2nd half - 1 sub 60m > 1 sub 61m > goal 64m > goal 67m > Back 4 then puts in a worldy and lock us out. Totally schooled by Allegri.
Was there..... Totally heartbreaking.
