Concerned

Feel like the worry has snowballed by more and more people jumping on it.

Did anyone REALLY expect us to replace every outgoing player? Ifbyou do you're not signing quality, youre signing quantity, and you end up in the same position.

Weve got 3 weeks before the season starts and for me, id rather us not just burn money for the sake of burning it. If we've got targets and they're not available yet, then wait. If they dont, then you wait, and the following summer there's more in the FFP pot.

If we Panic and just sign any random player and it doesnt work, it isn't going to help us, is it?

Two big signings in Barry & Alcaraz. A huge renewal in Branthwaite. Id say its not even been a bad window.
The problem is that we need quantity. Our squad was small already last year and we lost like 10 senior players

We need about 4 more signings just to be able to fill a match day squad with senior players. We need about 2 more on top of that to cover for inevitable injuries, suspensions, and players out of form

We can't just wait to next summer when we have about 14 senior outfield players
 

I have been lamenting the similarity of this brand new dawn with some of our past brand new dawns that transpired to be a continuation of the long dark nights. I typify the “it’s the hope that kills you” syndrome, I fall for it every time. I so much want to see this club at the upper end of the league and to be involved in the business end of cup competitions that I buy into any proposed change of fortunes that might see us progressing. I still believe that Moyes and FTG will improve us but my belief is waning as each day passes and we still fail to address the gaps in talent within our squad.

I expect every outgoing to be replaced, yeah.

Who’s gone? Mangala, Harrison, lindstrom, young, Doucoure, DCL

All played a good amount of games last season.

They all need to be replaced, don’t they?

We’ve replaced Dom, so thats two wide players, a centre mid and a full back who can cover both left and right.
