Might have had the worst window of any club in the PL. They never seem to learn. Every year they spend and spend so much money on absolute shite. How they paid Ł8m for Djilobodji when Chelsea didn't even pay half that and he couldn't even get a game for Werder Bremen, who were so bad last season that they should have been relegated and likely will this year is beyond belief. Around Ł6m on McNair and Love. Having to bring in Anichebe because they only had two proper forwards and one of them got injured (Borini); having to petition FIFA to get in a back-up keeper (Mika) due to a registration mix-up. Fucking around with signing M'Vila in their position is ridiculous. Getting only Ł2m for Giaccherini, who went to a club who just sold a player for Ł75m is daft. Allardyce's three signings last January were what kept them up (Kone, Kirchhoff and Khazri). I remember in the window for 2013/14, there were people in the transfer forum, who thought that some of their abysmal summer signings were great. They signed 19 players in 2013/14 during both windows. There's only four left in the team: Mannone, Mavrias (who they can't seem to get rid of), Borini (who they signed permanently the following season) and Watmore. Best thing for them might be to go down, flush out what they have and actually try to invest in and have more homegrown youth come into the mix.
