"We" have 2 choices here.
Choice number 1, we assume we dont add quality to the side and we struggle for most of the season.
Choice number 2, we assume we add real quality to the side and we compete at the top end of the table, finish an in the end disappointing 8th.
If you believe Choice number 1, your August is ruined, full of daily misery, then you endure the next 9 months of the season
If you believe Choice number 2, you have a great August, then you endure the next 9 months of the season as the crushing reality of Everton grinds you down into a small paste.
