Signing Kenedy now! Fair play, that's great quality for this league

Cardiff fans furious they’ve let Bobby Reid go to Fulham.

Fulham’s squad on a par with ours? Mitrovic, Knockart, Reid...

Leeds signed Nkheita who’s decent but lost loads and had a big money move for Liverpool’s Kent fall through late on.

Bristol C signed Afobe, while Stoke signed Carter Vickers and Duffy from Sheff U who’s about 47.

Fulham look like us last season - lots of power going forward but very suspect at the back.

Leeds fans not happy.

Replaced their 2 best players from
Last season with unproven (albeit highly rated) loans.

Leeds: Helder Costa, Nkethia, Ben White
Fulham: Bobby Reid, Knockaert, Cavaleiro, Harrison Reid, Harry Arter
Cardiff: Vaulks, Vassell, Glatzel, Flint
Hudds: Spent £11m on Mbenza but seem focused on developing the younger players they’ve signed over last few years - lost Mooy last minute
Stoke: Smith, hogan, Ward, Powell, Lindsay, Gregory, Cousins, Cameron-Vickers
Derby: Bielik, Clarke, Dowell, Shinnie, Paterson
Bristol C: Kalas, Palmer, Massengo, Dasilva, Nagy, Bentley, Afobe
Brentford: Mbuemo, Raya, Janssen, Jensen, Norgaard

Looking at other clubs, everyone who has strengthened has been replacing players sold, whereas we’ve mostly kept key players except Gayle/JRod.

Some exciting signings above, and a few other teams like Reading have thrown cash around, but we’ve added some real quality and crucially have money available in Jan.

I think Fulham and in fairness now Bristol City look strong, and Derby have some very good players in Lawrence, Dowell and Bielik.

Leeds looked very impressive at Bristol and seem to have learned how to temper their attacking play and conserve energy.

Really looking forward to this season, think it’ll be a good one all round.

Nonsense.

Villa have managed to spend £150m but are going into the PL season with a strike force of Wesley, Keinan Davies and Jonathan Kodija.

I know defences are what keep you in the PL, not necessarily goals, but given Dean Smith’s teams have never been able to defend, that feels lightweight.

Excellent detail.

Agree on Bristol City looking strong. Johnson has had them knocking on the door for a couple of years so may know better what it takes. 

Leeds look our biggest threat still. I saw someone put they lost their best Two players in the summer. Hernández & Phillips are still there, Njetiah is potentially better than Roofe and Janssen for all of his fist pumping is supposedly bad for dressing room morale. 


Think Birmingham, Luton & surprisingly Huddersfield could drop. Losing Mooy on the last day could be very damaging.
