Damp squib of a window. Disappointing that we've not spent a penny after sanctioning the Pereira sale.

I feel we're desperately short in numerous positions; only 1 senior right back, 3 senior centre mids, 2 senior strikers - one of which is Ken Zohore. Just hope we don't have any injuries.

If we do manage to get promoted this season, I'll hail the manager as a genius. For me, this squad is quite inferior to the squads that both Bilic and Darren Moore had in our previous campaigns. But at least the players look like they care this time, so maybe that spirit will guide us through.

I'm sure we'd all agree with your disappointment, Slick, regarding the lack of reinvestment of the incoming money, particularly when it seems to have left us a tad short in a couple of positions.

Strangely though, I'm still very upbeat about our chances this year! I think we've got a real gem in VI, and the spirit he'll continue to build will be more precious to us than a couple of mid price signings.
I know there IS a 'within reason' clause here but didn't I read somewhere that VI prefers a small squad?

Even if we can't sustain our impressive start, I'll be satisfied if I can see that (for a bloody change) ALL of our players actually care!
