2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

Of course we are!

This is probably fair to be honest. Spurs and Chelsea will be better as will the ones we finished below, Arsenal, Liverpool, and United. City will be City. Newcastle are a bit of an unknown and I think Brighton will drop back a little.
I see us as anywhere between 5th and 8th to be honest, which would be good if we can combine it with runs in all of the cups.

Finishing 8th will be a disappointment for me now
7th again acceptable, but top 6th would be an improvement which is what we should be aiming for

I’d love a cup win, any of them will do, but I fear we will have no chance because Olsen will be wobbled out for them which is tantamount to throwing in the towel

So far we've improved our squad more than anyone else except maybe Arsenal and that's a squad who were champions league form for 3/4s of the season.

And the quality of opponents in the Conference League isn't exactly Champions League (like Newcastle will have to manage). Looks at the list of teams West Ham played.

We'll still be able to rotate players to ensure younger players get games in Europe and our first team are fresh enough for the league games.

We couldn't ask for a manager with much more experience of managing a squad that has league and European games to contend with.

He'll have a much stronger bench this season to allow him to make more impactful subs during the game. And he can make 5 of those, which benefits teams with bigger squads.

Other teams may well know how he sets-up but our players will understand his system better too. Knowing what someone's going to do it and being able to stop it are very different things.

With the different options he'll have this year, he'll be able to pick teams specific to how he wants to set-up against someone rather than pretty much picking the same team each week.

There aren’t many sides in the Conference that had a squad as good as ours before our investment in the players we added. We have a very good chance of we take it seriously.

I'm going to have a few quid on Man City, Liverpool and us to win those three trophies.

Can you imagine how insufferable It will be if Liverpool win it in Dublin?

For you folks. Over here, it doesn't matter where they win anything, it's a week or more of misery full stop.

[Astnor]

Any info about Dendoncker? He s not in the squad in USA?

[Gareth]

Didn’t he stay at home because his wife was expecting?

[Scratchins]

I think they have just had the baby.

It does for me in Devon too.

Most of my mates of a certain age are Liverpool "fans", despite never venturing further than North than Exeter in their lives.

They are insufferable wankers when it comes to football, especially when they win something or beat us.

Paternity leave

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Expectations for the season: Dendoncker - 0 goals.

Being linked with Marc Pubill again today.

We've made enquires but no formal approach yet. They want about €6million and a sell on %.
