As excellent as our start to the season has been, the reality of how competitive the Premier League now is should be evident from the performance of Leicester today. While we're here congratulating ourselves on seeing off Crystal Palace, Leicester have just stuck 3 past Guardiola and co. It may or may not be enough to win, but I think it's fair to say that we're in a battle for 7th at best without further significant investment.
An injury or two to James and, say, Doucoure, and we're back to bang average faster than the time it takes for Rodriguez to flash a grin that melts our girly hearts.
Our first team - if it stayed fit all season - might well do better than 7th, but it won't stay fit all season. James and the other South Americans are off on international duty soon a few days before the derby. How many will come back jaded or injured?
All the ould talk that Seamus will do us fine at right-back or Holgate, Keane, and Mina will be grand at centre-half is best-case scenario stuff. We should be planning for the worst or all the giddy talk that we've all enjoyed will turn out to be just that, talk, when reality bites.
So, as far as I'm concerned, there's plenty for us to do yet in the market. This is where Brands earns his corn.

Why can’t we go win this league if we bring in a CB and RW?
I really don’t think we are done spending. I think if we can move players on to free up wages and we look good in the table still Moshiri might see it as another opportunity to increase our chances.
When does the window close?
And he was top goal scorer last seasonEveryone looks better with 4 penalty goals in 4 games
A week tomorrow.
The only position we're gonna strengthen in without getting rid of players is CB.
Anywhere else, we need to free up space by sales/loans.
If DCL was to get injured then Richy would play centre forward, and one of our LM’s would replace Richy on the left. I can’t see us spending big money on another striker.
I’m sure Moyes would love to have Coleman back, but he’s playing well enough to start for Everton right now, so I don’t see him leaving. Not unless we have what we consider to be an improvement lined up, as Coleman is 31, and I think West Ham will become desperate as the deadline approaches.
