Shea Charles has made 27 league appearances for Sheffield Wednesday, scoring one goal and providing five assists

We asked what you thought about Sheffield Wednesday's transfer business after the window closed on Monday.

Midfielder Shea Charles returned on loan from Southampton after the Owls struck a fresh agreement with the Premier League side, while Stuart Armstrong was signed from Vancouver Whitecaps.

Winger Ibrahim Cissoko also joined on loan until the end of the season from Toulouse, having spent the first half of the campaign with Championship strugglers Plymouth.

Midfielder Sean Fusire was the only player to leave, joining Carlisle United on loan until the end of the season.

Here are your responses:

Ben: Charles coming back was big. I don't believe we need a No.9 as stats suggest our attacking output is good. Would have liked to have seen maybe LWB & CB or maybe two join the club to tighten up defensively. Still sort our home form and turn a few of the draws into wins and we could sneak into the play-offs. We just need to remember that so far this has been an amazing improvement on last season.

Alan: We are desperate for a strong centre-back and have been for a long time. Why no action?

David: I think we needed a defender. There is still a chance we sign Ryo Hatsuse, but if we don't it could prove disastrous, as we only have two fit central defenders. I think Armstrong and Cissoko are good signings, but without extra defensive cover could prove to be irrelevant.

Darren: Disappointed. I thought we would have done a lot more business if we are aiming for the top six.

David: Everyone thought a centre-back was the priority, but that didn't happen. Securing Shea Charles by extending his loan was massive, and the signing of Stuart Armstrong was another masterstroke. Although we wanted a couple more loans, we need to remember where we were last season. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Perry: Wednesday got the important things right and may have added a useful bit of flair as well. It will add up to an interesting end to the season.

Eric: We are nowhere near a promotion side. Charles' loan extension is very important but the newcomers are very moderate indeed. Just as we are at the moment. Staying up should be the focus, nothing else.

Robert: Good spirit at club which can easily be disrupted by too many additions and players who are not match fit. Yes, another central defender wouldn't go amiss, but time for the current defenders to stand up. Not disappointed and always a balancing act

Ian: Underwhelming transfer window. Hopefully Danny's tactical nous will keep us out of trouble.

Paul: An opportunity lost as usual. Chansiri either wants success or just mid-table happiness that suits him. Danny will not hang around forever.

Rob: Some defensive cover would have been useful, especially as we seem to struggle to hold on to a winning position at the moment. Play-offs probably unrealistic because of that but we can hope...
