I can remember sitting round the table for a debrief and hearing about how the club believed the transfer window we'd just executed would be transformative, a huge step forward in getting us back to where we needed to be.
We had just signed:
Adam Lallana
Dejan Lovren
Lazar Markovic
Alberto Moreno
Mario Balotelli
Emre Can
Rickie Lambert
And we'd brought in Lord Divock after his loan back to Lille.
I feel, to say the least, a tad more optimistic about this window.
