Agree that Gillingham's recruitment seems particularly impressive.

“We have brought in quality players, good people and brought the squad numbers down.
“We have a squad around 20 now of outfield players that we can train and work with. 11 players out or on loan - Coleman, Emmanuel, Hendrie, Kennedy, Jules, Loft, Gnahoua, Colkett, Morris, Angol, Eisa. 10 players in - Charles Cook, Mitchell, Golbourne, Williams, Edwards, Walker, Vincelot, Payne, Smith, Campbell. Current squad - Arnold, Charles Cook, Mitchell, Sears, Bolton, Beckles, Sadler, Waterfall, Williams, Haynes, Golbourne, Whalley, Jones, Gilliead, Docherty, Norburn, Laurent, Grant, Edwards, Vincelot, Walker, Campbell, Holloway, Payne, Smith, Okenabirhie, LJL. Even taking Walker and LJL out of the equation, that's still a squad of 25 which reduces to 24 if Jones is moved on.

Agree that Gillingham's recruitment seems particularly impressive. Mainly because of Ricky Holmes. Some good looking recruitment at the top end - Portsmouth, Sunderland, Luton. Nice coincidence that Ogogo went to Rovers as Payne was leaving.

Sunderland are trying to buy their way out of this league. Lets face it, it happens.
Does Campbell play on the wing?

A front three of Campbell, Fejiri and Payne would be potentially lethal. With Grant, Norburn and Dochety behind with Whalley waiting in the wings.

I think we’ve had pretty decent window. Feels like we have a bit better balance in the squad with more options.
Whether that’s enough to get us out of trouble, we’ll have to wait and see I guess.

All in all I agree a successful window. Only two transfers I’m confused by slightly . Firstly Smith, can’t see him getting much of a chance and he wasn’t prolific before he came . That being said was prob the quick panic signing. Vincelot however a 18 month contract? He’s 32/33 and the brief cameo appearance I saw at home he looked very sluggish . Don’t think we needend him really with the depth in the midfield
