Onion seedlings transplanted..but still unimpressed

ready for transplanting, but nothing as big as I hoped
Finally last week I gave in and transplanted the still miserable looking onion seedlings. Technically they were ready for transplanting as most had the two leaves needed. But I wish they were bigger, further along, more oniony looking!

Now they are potted up I'm waiting for some overnight miracle, because as I transplanted them I could see that they have only just formed a basic root system with no sign of the distinctive onion bulb that should be underneath. These little onions still have a long long way to go. Can they do it?
