You do remember we had Steve Bruce and had a record low points total before Howe came in aye? We will make new signings.

I said next season with new signings top four, players we have now and finish above Arsenal.

Front 3 of Maxi, Wilson,Fraser sure why not. We will start the season with better as well. Wouldn't swap many forwards in the country with Wilson.

Obviously aye ? I don't think they would with our current team and a full season of Howe though.

We will finish above Arsenal next season, I'm happy to take a £50 charity bet with anyone on the forum.

I've already said I'd be over the moon with 7th still think we can do better though and also think we will.

A top centre half and one the best keepers in the country doesn't change anything ? How doesn't it like? Makes us a lot stronger.

Wasn't one game we were brilliant from the turn of the year.

Also more time with Howes coaching he said himself he set us up differently because we were in a relegation scrap. Fully expect us to be hammering teams by 3 and 4 goals on the regular this season.

No I fully accept Liverpool and City are way beyond us special teams and your 6 seasons to compete with them aye maybe, but to compete with Arsenal and Spurs? Nah.

People on here are like battered wives not believing they are safe when their husbands have been locked up. Ashley's gone fellas Eddie's here now and we're going all the way to the top.

Did you watch the Arsenal game ? Only one team looked like they should be competing for the champions league mate, after Man City and Liverpool the league currently is nothing special.

We've very astutely and quietly built one of the best back fives in the country.

I'd be over the moon with top 7 mate but won't be surprised one bit if we better that.

6 seasons ? ? Jesus that optimism, Arsenal competed last season we are better than them already.

Our back 5 is as good as anyone's bar City, Liverpool and Chelsea. We were already top 6 form under Howe before this summer transfer window and pre season. We'll be in and around the top four next season I'm in no doubt.

Looks like we'll follow this up with Raphinha and Ekiteke. We are top four competitors this season chaps.

Very worrying that this hasn't been officially announced yet.

Our back 5 is looking canny fucking good right now like.

Looks like he's been dragged in by his lugs

Think he'll flop.

Hearing him Botman and a third unreported signing are going through by Friday.

It's just modern football got to expect and be prepared for financial wrangles and to persuade people to come here. Especially foreign players we haven't exactly been a big name the last few years have we. Even the biggest clubs go through this trying to get players or even getting their own players to sign new contracts now. If we just pull out of deals it will be our loss and some one else's gain.

Still expecting a big statement player a bit later in the window like.

Good back up to Dan Burn anyway.
