Wow, five to come in. Would be happy with that and a good few out. Good times ahead, bring it on.

Depends on who comes in GB. I'm happy to see a quality RB, LB, and striker come in and hang onto Ndiaye. The other two can be youth/third choice backups.

With you on that, mate, striker priority for me.

Or it's just Moyes covering his arse if things go wrong and we don't get the players in.

Time will tell, mate, must be several irons in the fire.

The only certainty is good times ahead, but it might be slower than most are demanding.

What I find frustrating is we said that when Moshiri took over FBS. That may be why fans are so frustrated; at the rate we are going, it's going to be another 30 years until we win anything. Is this the longest time in our history between silverware?

We might not ever win anything again. Most clubs don't. I get it, but we can't lump it in with the FM era. We were promised CL inside of 5 years, and if you were like me, you let every one of your football friends know in the most obnoxious way and acted like it was all a certainty. Ended up feeling embarrassed by the club 3 of those years, and then a hollow husk of a fan after that for 2 years. I'm just glad that we will certainly remain an EPL club with a stable, boring, steady mid table obscurity. So many fans have very short memories, and unfortunately this club let its hold as a giant slip away. Took too long to move stadium, should have been 50000 seater 30 years ago and been extended to 60 65000 by now, but the rose tinted old skool didnt take their chances cos they loved the old lady, disgraceful and hamstrung us. We let the big 5 turn into a 4. Let our, yes our, idea of a EPL be taken out of our hands and were rapidly allowed to be manoeuvred into the museum of football.
Still have a load of old fans who think all you need are a trinity of players and a few beers to make a top manager and be champion again. I doubt we will win the top flight for 100 years. Our only hope is the elusive League Cup. But look at the winners. The big 4 mostly still take it seriously enough that its a monopoly. And there is now 3 or 4 other clubs as well as the big 4 who are bigger than us. FM should be in jail. And our fans should forget the past. Like the big clubs from yesteryear and get used to being historic but not big. People are snobs about the lesser Euro cups but we should be aiming for one in the next decade. Not taking the city name has turned out to be a marketing own goal for 50 years. Hindsight is wonderful, but we really historically love to shoot our own feet off with a .50cal anti aircraft cannon.

The only positive I'm seeing at the moment is the new ground.
