I have opted for weaker because of the following reasons.
Firstly and main one there was no option for don't know yet
8 new players in with most never sampling the championship so will take a good while before they get to grips with it.
Goalkeepers are very questionable if improvement – Samba needs to be seen before I can make any judgment.
Defence – was weaker as it was the same minus Byram – Jenkinson had not joined at time of vote. So now, it has stayed the same.
Colback, Pele, Soudani and Ozzy gone and replaced with Semedo, Silva and Sow who so far are not any better -weaker
Watson has become our best DMC (although he has played well and deserves to be there over others. However the fact he is now showing as the best we have then what does that say about our new players)- Weaker
Still got Lolley and carv – stayed the same (not that isn’t good business BTW but it’s not making us stronger)
Ameobi – Weaker than both Gonçalves and Dias which is saying something
Adomah – Experienced yes but does he really make us stronger? Might do but has no intention of tracking back when we do not have the ball and can easily see Cash becoming the preferred choice again because of work rate.
Grabban – main striker so not got stronger for starting 11 but Mir looks like an improvement for our second striker.
See it all depends on what you class as stronger and if you’re looking at it right now or down the line because the down the line in the unknown the players may well improve they might do this and do that but right in the here and now we are not a stronger team.
