Window Closed, Bigger Squad But Is The Club Serious About Promotion?

[Jean_claude_killy]

I have to agree and I would say we are actually weaker and a worse team than last season. They say finish on a positive so I will say we do start with a better manager than the one we finished with.

How can any of us actually honestly say how stronger or weaker we are yet?

We are missing Carvalho, Semedo is an upgrade, Chema may boss it, Bostock may boss it, Samba x2 might hit the ground running.... we just don't know yet.

Correct.

We have clearly upgraded at Right Back; then again we could have signed a traffic cone and it would have been an upgrade on Darikwa.

We have cover at Left Back and signed a player who stood out in a struggling side in La Liga last season.

So the defence should be stronger.

We have lost Colback, who was never our player, and Osborn, who would not have got a game had the supporters picked the side; I find it impossible to believe that the players we have signed will not prove better that what we had last season.

So the midfield should be stronger.

We have not signed the forward we needed but that is hardly surprising as they are the hardest ones to get, the most expensive to buy and want the most wages.

If we had signed a complete unknown it would not have been good enough for the experts; it had to be a break the bank striker and f**k the cost.

Its very easy for people to spend someone else's money without giving any consideration whatsoever to the consequences.
