We’re already in a better position than last season (even though it doesn’t feel like it)
We spent the majority of last season without Mina and DCL. Both should start the new season fit.
Patterson didn’t contribute at all last season so will be added. Same pretty much for Dele if he is going to stay. We didn’t go into last season banking on Gordon at all, how much would he cost to buy this window? We’ve also added Tarkowski. Add in a settled Mykolenko who can play from day 1 now.
We’ve lost Richarlison yes but any sort of goal return from DCL in the teens makes up for that output considering he was missing last season.
People will disagree but I just think if the squad can stay reasonably fit it’s a better one than what was being put out for a lot of last season.
