The summer is turning into a mini Bomb squad, so few of the previous promotion campaign left. Leadership in the squad, team togetherness, shaking off that losing mentality/running toward adversity, learning our playing style and having the right movement. These are all going to be big challenges. We will now surely be in for 2 or 3 more quality players having brought in £45M yesterday, so probably players like Doak/Fellows/Hackney/Brownhill/Ruiz plus a new keeper will be incoming. We will have more individual quality than ever - but how long until they gel, and we see the team as greater than the sum of the parts? When it does gel we will be amazing, but McKenna is gonna really earn his crust to do that pronto. |  |

Yeah but get the business done earlyish, give him time to work with them in pre season, get some mins in the legs. We’ll be good when we line up for that first game vs Brum. |  |

Muric gone. Slicker gone. Walton not good enough. Button is very obviously a 3rd choice keeper. | |

It was made clear, Ashton and McKenna were rebuilding for the prospect of promotion again and they said openly they needed different players and different types of player.
The 22/23 and 23/24 teams were great teams, but individual deficiencies were also there to be seen.
We need to trust them to get the players they want, even if that means waiting longer than anyone wishes. We appear to be signing all those we were linked with apart from Hackney so far. And even that might happen again later in the window
McKenna has built a team under pressure of being the biggest team in L1 and if he believes in himself and is as good as we know he is, he’ll do it again. It’s a lot more difficult in the Championship of course though |  | | |

It’s a big 2 weeks for us to demonstrate that we’re capable of signing a different level of player to those that got us to the PL the first time. I am yet to be convinced we can do that tbh and think the transfer activity has been questionable at best the last two windows, with obviously this one still to be assessed as we get through it and see them in action. | | | |

Still one or three to be got rid of as well. New players, players back from injuries and some that haven't been convincing for some time.
A tough job for KM and one where we can't afford to lose too much ground early doors as it's doubtful we would go on runs similar to our two promotion seasons. Not impossible I know. | | | |
