Bournemouth supporters are assessing their squad depth after the summer transfer window closed on September 2. Fan Josh Wyatt provided a seven out of 10 rating for the club's activity, citing the acquisition of goalkeepers Christos Mandas and Fraser Forster as vital moves to increase competition for Djordje Petrovic. Wyatt identified loan signing Michele Di Gregorio as a bargain and noted the potential of young defender Antonio Silva. While the club retained core players, the departure of Marcos Senesi to Tottenham on a free transfer remains a point of concern for some supporters. The transfer window will remain shut until January, leaving the current group as the primary rotation for the opening stretch of the Premier League season.

"With the transfer window shut until January, fans are coming to terms with the business their clubs have done over the summer months. Speaking to BBC Radio Solent, Bournemouth fan Josh Wyatt said he would rate his side's window a seven out of 10. Petrovic was quite shaky early on and we bought in two back-up goalkeepers and he was a different goalkeeper.
