This could turn out to be one of our best windows for a long time. We are improving our starting 11 first and then a few fillers. Hate to say it. But if things turn out the way I think they will. I’m impressed.
I do believe we will need to shift a few pronto or before next July.

Agree, Aus2, that we are improving the squad with the three signings (assuming Trafford arrives) , and hopefully at least another 3 (second keeper, AM and striker certainly needed) . It might be that one of the junior players will be promoted to the main squad as well.
Last year's loanees are slowly getting off the wage bill.
However, if we're not careful, we'll have a fairly bloated squad, so we need to shift a winger, a midfielder, and maybe a CB: Willie/DJ, Bournauw, and Gruev if he doesn't sign a new contract, or AO if we want a good return.
It's been commented by several posters that AO is better when he starts a game, but that doesn't seem to be on Farke's agenda.
