If I’m brutally honest with you. No I’m not buzzing yet. We have signed two players one of whom is going to be a bit part player and I’m not convinced we are going to get anymore signings. We go into the season with our current squad I can only see a struggle for 4th place and very little progression
It could very well change over the coming week mind
its imperative we get bruno fernandes then i'd be happy with transfer even if lukaku stays as
I'm excited....
People will bemoan Ole's end to the season, but I think everyone just ran out of steam after going for it to get back into the top 4... That's more on Jose and his staff for not getting the fitness right. I am sure Ole and Phelan will have that side of things running smoothly.
We have little to no chance of a title run, so the pressure should be off and we can hopefully see some good football
I'm excited to see Ole implement his style and to see the integration of young players like Greenwood into the first team squad.
But the reality is we've only improved the right back position.
Herrera going means we're weaker in midfield without a new recruit and Matic hasn't inspired any confidence in pre-season at all. Fred hasn't had much of a pre-season for the second year in a row and doesn't look any different against sub par opposition than he did last season.
Midfield is a real problem for us I fear.
I'm excited for the season but probably for the wrong reason. The unknown has been exciting for a few seasons to be honest, it'll be nice to be excited because we are challenging for honours again.
I am looking forward to this season more than I have the last few due to the fact we are likely to be entertained in terms of the football and because I expect to see our youth products getting plenty of game time.
Whether we finish in the top 4 isn't really that big deal to me, as long as I can see that there is a plan in place, a togetherness within the squad, and hopefully we see the youngsters developing.

If we don't sign anybody, I'll only be REALLY excited if Ole shows the courage to play our youngsters.
Gomes and Greenwood should both be playing ahead of James/Mata/Lingard in my opinion.
Arsenal are in a worse position than us. Rojo and Jones would be an improvement on what CBs you have for right now.

Yep, I agree. Lets get them in the team and see what they can do. Ole really has nothing to lose.

Ole sacked by Christmas. Pogba to go on strike. Lukaku still to be leading your line.

I wouldn't be surprised to see OGS outlast Lampard, Pochettino and Emery.

On the plus side in terms of midfield, McT looks to be improving game on game.
If everyone played with the sense of purpose he does then we'd be much better off.

There will be immense pressure to get top 4 after missing out this year and missing out on CL.
Bruno to Spurs, anybody?
Good negotiating Ed!

still finished above you lot last season
and we've just signed one of the best attacking talents in europe
----------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the best attacking talents in Europe!!!! Wow. I bet you’ve hardly ever seen him play and he’s had one good season in his career in the French league
this is what you get when clubs hold out till the last minute of the window so they don't have to pay wages over the summer break. Ed hoping to get Maguire and Bruno next week. So, in steps Spurs.
