A week to go and I feel like we are back in Walter Smiths era...

I think we need a new forward line. Predictable, no intensity.
We look very poor going forward, there's doesn't seem to be any gameplan. The team looks lethargic as well because of the lack of fresh faces who bring something different. And a lot of positions are up in the air for starting places (e.g. goalkeeper, centre-mids, the left wing).
Only if it's a double signing with Gary Naismith again!!!
A decent back up forward and a playmaker (still hopeful on somebody of Mata's ilk) would solve that, imo, while a quality box to box player is also required
....and a 56 year old Richard Gough to shore up the back
And as I've said it will take some time to click. We're certainly lacking 'something' at the moment and I'm sure that will be one of the areas targeted (e.g. a playmaker).
Signings ??

I think its a case of what I'd call the "window effect"
All of the players know that there is still significant comings and possibly goings to take place.
That factor, whether they or we like it or not will generate an air of uncertainty around the place that absolutely effects individual and team morale and overall team cohesion.
Once the season has started and the window is shut and that uncertainty disspapears until January - then we will see what we have and the difference if any that the new regime and any changes may bring.

not really...
the 'core' of the side is Stones, Barkley, Lukaku. Obviously, it appears likely we'll be losing one of them, but what is needed is quality adding around it.
While it's frustrating the additions in those positions haven't yet been brought in, it hasn't been for a lack of trying on targets that are of proven quality and experience. As soon as the deals are definitely off we will have alternatives lined up. Plenty of time.
For now I'm just looking forward to next week.
A verve, a style and guile in our play that has been missing since Christmas...
It'll come, once it clicks. Part of that is signings, yes.
