DMac, unfortunately it seems pretty much the same as last year, don’t get me wrong, Raul and Trippier are great additions.
I was hoping Shi 2 would be an upgrade on 1. If they are serious on achieving promotion at the first attempt, in my opinion, we need some quality additions. Have we sold Tolu now? If so, together with the money from Joao, surely they can sign 2 or 3 decent players.


Maybe after last year's mainly awful signings they are now not prepared to spend. Doesn’t say much for the recruitment people.
The way things are going they will make signings towards the end of the window. I just hope if they do, they are good signings and can be ready straight away. Frustrating that they do not seem to learn from previous mistakes.

Hi Banksy51,
Even though Shi #2 did say they'd learnt from previous mistakes in the transfer window & would get the new signings in early so they could integrate fully with the team & manager to 'hit the ground running' when the season starts.
So either that's it, Raul, Trippier & Said, or they haven't learnt a damn thing.
