January ins and outs, conclusions my own.
Leicester - nobody in or out, if it aint broke
Ipswich - IN - L.Travis, Al-Hamadi, K.Moore - OUT - Ladapo - don't think Travis will play that much but the other two more than compensate for losing Ladapo, I'm not a huge Kieffer Moore fan but he's effective at this level.
Southampton - IN -D.Brooks - won't make much difference, strong before, strong still
Leeds - IN - Connor Roberts - OUT - L.Ayling, D.Spence and 3 none first team players - assumng Roberts stay fit the other two rightbacks going out won't be a loss, not stronger though.
WBA - IN - Weimann, C.Marshall, M.Johnstone OUT - C.Taylor - like Taylor but he wasn't getting games, Weimann could be a canny short term pick up, don't know anything about the two youth players from spam and celtic, all forwards where they wanted to strengthen though. Still a bit light in midfield and vulnerable to a late Turrkey smash and grab for Yokuslu with their transfer window open another week.
Coventry - IN - V.Torp - OUT - K.McFadzean - the latter at 37 shouldn't be much of a loss whilst Torp is allegedly in the Hamer mould. They did also sign Mason-Clark from posh which is a smart pick up but since they've loaned him straight back doesn't strengthen them right now.
Sunderland - IN - L.Hjelde, R.Mundle, C.Styles - OUT - J.Bennette, E.Mayenda, A.Pritchard - of the outgoings only Pritchard featured regularly and will no doubt be missed. Hjelde brought in to cover their injury crisis at leftback where midfielder Styles can also cover. Mundle is a winger/attacking midfielder that came up through spurs academy before moving to Belgium last Summer, apparently got a bit about him, obviously I can't comment. Pritchard a loss, leftback shored up, still haven't signed a striker, maybe stronger if Mundle a hit.
Hull - IN - F.Carvalho, R.Giles, N.Ohio, A.Omur, A.Zaroury, B.Sharp, I.Pandur - OUT - Lokilo, Sinik, Sayyadmnesh - the ones going out were barely getting a look in, the players they've brought in most of the ones I know are very good and from what I can gather the ones I don't know are of a high standard too, something wrong if they don't secure a play off spot and with the top four breaking away leaves everyone else fighting for the last play off place.
Watford - IN - E.Dennis OUT - I.Louza, R.Healy, J.Hurtdo - possibly the only team that have left themselves weaker
Norwich - IN - S.Van Hooijdonk - OUT - A.Forshaw, P.Placheta, A.Idah - SVH replacing Idah seems like an upgrade and the other two let out weren't in the picture, stronger despite only one signing.
Middlesbrough - IN - F.Azaz, L.Ayling, L.Thomas OUT - M.Rogers - Quite surprised the effort the 12 toers put into getting Rogers as not sure he's been all that yet, every chance Azaz could replace his goal contributions and then some and they have other players like Jones and McGree that could help fill the Rogers shaped hole albeit in different ways, stronger for me.
Preston - nuffin in or out
Bristol - IN - S.Twine, A.Mebude OUT - A.Weimann - Twine for Weimann, yeah you would, don't know anything about the young forward Mebude.
Cardiff - IN - N.Phillips, F.Diedhou, J.Wilson-Ebrand, E.Horvath, D.Turnbull - OUT - I.Ugbo, A.Rinomhota - the two out weren't playing and I'm a big fan of several of the players they've brought in, Phillips, Wilson-Esbrand and Turnbull especially all of whom I've previously flagged as players we should target whilst Diedhou and Horvath have previous good form in this division, Cardiff second only to Hull in strengthening in this window.
Plymouth - IN - A.Phillips, M.Sorinola, A.Devine, A.Forshaw, L.Sousa OUT - F.Azaz, L.Cundle, M.Butcher - Azaz and Cundle really big losses and imo not at all replaced though they have shored the defence up with Phillips who's shown his ability at Blackburn already and Sousa who's meant to be very good whilst Sorinola will at least add depth. Defnitely weaker going forward for me with their outgoings but if the new manager alters the style of play they may cope even if they become a bit less exciting to watch.
Millwall - IN - J.Tanganga, M.Obafemi, A.Mayor OUT - Nobody - Tanganga may really come into his own dropping down a level, Obafemi has previously shown he can be excellent in this division, Mayor a lower division winger pick up that I barely know about tbh, should be stronger, how much depends on how well the main two signings do of course.
Swansea - IN - Ronald, C.Sago Jr, P.Placheta OUT - N.Ogbeta, K.Pedersen - those leaving weren't getting games, all 3 signings are wingers, the first from abroad I don't know about, the 2nd a highly rated Arsenal yoof pick up and Placheta you all know, stronger and a change of formation suggested?
Blackburn - IN - B.Chrisene, Y.Ayari, C.O'Riordan, K.McFadzean, B.Koumetio, J.Fleck, D.McGuire - OUT - L.Travis, A.Wharton, N.Ennis - Travs and Wharton were ther midfield maintays the first half of the season and whilst I'm not familiar with the majority of their signings, it does feel to me a bit like it's been done on the cheap side, especially considering the Wharton fee they got, a lot of players and hard to evaluate well.
Stoke - IN - D.Iversen, L.Cundle, M.Manhoef, N.Ennis - OUT - D.Gayle - complete opposite to Blackburn more quality over quantity, stronger though didn't get the striker they wanted, Ennis can play thee but not an out and out and feels more like because the manager knows him than someone they were desperate to get.
Birmingham - IN -Pritchard, Dozzell, Seung-Ho - OUT - you must be joking - stronger, albeit in only one area of the pitch
Huddersfield - IN - A.Matos, B.Radulovic, R.Balker, R.Healy - OUT - nobody - clearly stronger although I don't know anything about the first 3 names but one's a striker, one a defender and one a creative type plus obviously Healy another striker, probably enough to keep the bottom 3 at arms length, QPR the danger.
QPR - IN - M.Frey, I.Hayden, J.Hodge - OUT - Dozzell - stronger for me, Frey has good pedigree and is a goalscorer, Hayden should be decent again at championship level whilst Hodge is highly rated from the dingles academy, more than good trade for losing Dozzel imo.
Sheff Weds - IN - J.Beadle, I.Ugbo, I.Poveda, K.Pedersen OUT - nobody, think Wednesday have been the team with the most momentum out of the bottom 3 sides but imo QPR have had a far better window, just don't think they've done enough here, Beadle aside very uninspiring, the manager has done well but this has been a window for them signposting relegation.
Roherham - IN - A.Rinomhota, C.Wyke, F.Seriki - OUT - nobody - of course they're stronger havng not lost anyone but make no mistake, this was a window from them that said we're probably going down, let's not add insult to injury by wasting money.
