Hide Ad@Scififootball: Decent window. I would have liked another high scoring striker and experienced centre back, but it feels like we've added depth.
@TMHG91: Given how it looked to be going this time yesterday - Good business in the end, should have brought enough in to make us a multi dimensional side, plenty of experience in there with the odd prospect.
@hughhutton5: Very unsure
@hendohufc: Dolan kiernan kemp are the players with recent league 2 experience who are probably up to the level we need, prutti and dodds look promising the rest time will tell.
@JackCBCx: Small improvement in needed areas. Up to the manager to get it working. However being critical. Where’s the 10 goal striker ? Transfer fee? We didn’t pay one. 7 off the books. 7 in on the full time books. & 4 with a wage % due to loan.

Hide Ad@Mark_Carroll3: Hope this recruitment can keep us up, Quite a lot of midfield options now, but still think we needed another Striker and a Centre Defender who can play on the left and also cover fergie.
@danielhufc: There's a severe lack of quality in what we've brought in, yes it's an improvement but still feels like non league preparation and the fact they've went for quantity over quality
@rayspindloe1: 31 players signed by two management teams since may , obvious the first one got it wrong let’s pray the second one hasn’t
@mickhartlepool: Raj has backed Curle like he said, still very light up top needed another striker to be fair should of took a gamble on Chris Maguire, but overall an encouraging window
@turnbullissimo: Good business

@WoodyWalker10: Really difficult to get players to come to Hartlepool at the best of times.I guess we threw a dice in the summer that went badly wrong to be polite.Gotta hope that Keith has the skills to get this team up and running as soon as he can, not an easy task,but the majority behind him
@jim02294353: Really good to see Josh stay. Just hope KC can use the new lads to get the best out of them and keep us up. Fans stop being so negative and get behind the lads. UTP
