Are the last two parts of your sentence the same thing ?

Nope. The latter point is about people presuming we will struggle this season before the manager has finished building his squad

Over to you. I'm interested to hear why you think they are nonsense statements. Be prepared to back up your arguments.

Yes, but they're only doing so based on what's happened so far, which is why I asked whether posters shouldn't have an opinion until the squad is completed. You've said they are allowed an opinion before then, which is what they're giving.

Of course everyone can have an opinion, I’m all for free speech. It just seems strange to me to predict a poor season before we know the full squad available.

Yeah but how....how we going to "finish business", with no money, boarding FFP, and a transfer embargo?

We seem to be doing ok so far, and there’s loans available and players to leave also

How’s this:
A) People saying we could do with players in a, b or c positions or we are going to struggle
B) is very different to we are going to struggle this season. ( so not factoring in any new additions whilst predicting a poor campaign)

This time last summer we had brought in Kipre on loan, but not Philogene - and Kaba was 6 months in the future. We hadn't signed Etete or Robinson either - although both those were for fees which we can't do this window. I expect 3 more in - and I'm sure they will change the look of the squad.

In fairness, you've spent decades avoiding debate when it suits you.

Re: We are going to finish 23rd
Taking a positive slant on things, we've now got two goods players back (Collins and Robinson), who both missed a substantial number of games last season, a proven goalscorer in Karlan Grant, a certain Aaron Ramsey and the promise of at least three more additions before the season starts.
Although nothing can be taken for granted in this league, for the life of me I cannot understand why many on here seem so fearful of our chances this season. The friendlies were used to raise fitness levels and try out different players and systems so should not be used as a barometer of our future success or otherwise. It is very likely our squad will bear little resemblance to the current one in a few weeks time.
Another factor that has been overlooked is that come January, the embargo will have been lifted and we will be able to play the market again should funds be available, which I'm reasonably certain they will be. At the end of last season, the feeling of doom was palpable. By and large the feelgood factor has returned and a defeat against one of the best teams in Europe shouldn't change this.

The same as the rest free transfer or a loan, probably a premier League young keeper.

Agreed that's the reported situation, we will need them.
