For anyone curious the teams I think will be our rivals are

Soton
Leeds
Leicester
Watford
Norwich


And then

Stoke
Wba
Mboro

You would expect a team like one of these to do well but still not too worried

And yeah rest I am confident we are better than

Much more worried about Ipswich than boro and wba

I can't see Ipswich keeping it up all season

And Brum may have money but can they do it this season? Not so sure

But it's early days and not seen enough of everyone. Just initial thoughts

 

[Evo1883]

We will have a top 6 squad come the end of the window .. have to hope it clicks fast

I really don’t feel like it has to click fast (would be nice), just a gut feeling that second half of the season we’ll have a comparable run to the end of last season. Maybe even stronger.

Middlesbrough were pretty bad today. They have a lot of work to do.

I wonder if we will get new signings in this week or if it will drag on till near deadline despite what robins wants

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The strength in our recruitment lies in most of the squad being contracted for at least the next 2 years. So assuming we don’t make it up this season, which I don’t think we will, we can keep the squad intact and improved for the following year when the calibre of relegated clubs should be a lot weaker.

He sounded pretty confident something would drop the next few days. Whether that’s just one we were already working on or the Gus replacement who knows. Have a feeling a LCB will sign this week and the others may take a bit longer.

I think 3-4 next week and we’ll be pretty damn excited about a couple of them

Is this based on anything?

Robins confidence

 

[Ian1779]

We’ll finally see if Carrick is the top notch manager everyone makes him out to be.

 

[covcity4life]

Robins confidence

I didn't sense this confidence particularly.

Think Kitching will be the first signings.

Other 3 I have no idea. We need a damn good cm to come into replace hamer in squad though

 

[covcity4life]

Jack Harrison gone from Leeds on loan to Everton

James ward prrowse gone from soton to west ham 30m

Rivals losing players. Hopefully they don't replace well

Like one of not all of gnoto, siniestra and lavia will go too yet. Could do with Leicester losing Dewsbury hall but not seen any rumours about him

Chelsea and Liverpool said to be looking at him. The sooner he moves the better

Agree over a season. Kind of understand why Swansea have been our bogey team in the past, but Hull does my head in. Here's hoping we can step up at Swansea.

 

[Saddlebrains]

If we replace Hamer well I genuinely don't see anyone else other than Leicester Leeds Soton better than us

By the end of the window even Leeds might be a stretch.

Think Norwich and Watford should be included as being in and around those three you mentioned.

 

[higgs]

West brom look strong aswell

Tyler Adams on his way to Bournemouth looks like

Leeds not in a ideal place currently

They will be the ones who struggle out of the relegated sides

Amazing what a win does

Anybody know much about Middlesbrough's signings they have made today? @Frostie ?

Looks a very good signing and exactly what they needed on Saturday - someone to put the ball in the net

Similar fee to Wright but his goalscoring record much worse.

Tall and skinny, should give them a kick

I watch serie a bit can't say I've heard much of this guy. Did he play for them last season?

 

[SBT]

Emmanuel Latte Lath should perk them up a bit, he’s full of beans.

Looks like he's been in Switzerland. Hasn't played a single game for Atlanta, makes sense considering calibre of forwards they have. Don't know how strong the Swiss league is, I'm sure someone will come on and tell me it's the equivalent of the National League North.
