Good replies below on the prediction thread.
Rome was not built in a day and it will take time to gel as a team but good players usually find a way and there is no doubt in my mind that if we can keep dorgou yoro and amad fit those 3 along with the 3 new attackers will make a huge difference.
Not everything will be addressed as we knew in this window but we will improve a lot.
Imo we could name a very strong 11 if we get a cm and keeper in.
Still work to be done to get rid of a few such as casimero dalot Shaw maguire onana bayindir who really have come to the end of the road whether that is this or next summer the management team are doing a super job in rejuvenating the squad under some difficult circumstances.
Very few decenting voices on the signings so far and for the 1st time in as long as I can remember there is only 1 or 2 on this site unhappy with where we stand at the moment. In terms of recruitment.

German is always unhappy.

It's not yet the overhaul we were hoping for, but it’s definitely an upgrade up top. Like you said, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
I think the front three we've brought in will push us up the table. I'm pretty comfortable with the defence as it stands. With a bit of smart recruitment in midfield, they should be less exposed. That said, having Onana behind them doesn’t exactly fill you with confidence.
If we can strengthen either in front of, or behind the back three this window, I'd call it a good start. If we manage both, that's a great start.

Not been the same since they lost the war and 66 wc final fizz.

It certainly seems to be coming together, I am happy to eat my words. If we can shift some out and sign a CM, then we should see a major step up in performance.
A new front 3 will have a real impact, and a quality CM will provide solidity we have been lacking.

Agree ajh on cm.
I've always maintained that your keeper is the most important player but this summer we really needed a new attack and our defencive record was average while our attack was well below average. So they prioritised correctly imo and every pundit I've heard has said the same.
Its clear we need to strengthen in other areas but we had to attend to the worst performing areas first.

Fizz, are you suggesting he's a sour kraut? ?.

Full revamp of front 3 with 3 full on to your pants exciting players is certainly a very good start. More goals moves us up the table.
Amad moving more to wide right brings more attacking from there. Dorgu looking dangerous down the left too. Plus bruno causing mayhem from CM.
This team could be full of goals, we might concede a few, but at least we should also be scoring.
Management team have certainly made a stir, which was absolutely necessary. If more is to come then we shift a few out, then this could be the best ever transfer window. I think the whole fanbase is simply itching for change, deliver that and maybe the mood will change.
