I understand the desire to evaluate the current state of things but I don't see the point in rating the transfer window until it ends. On so many occasions we've done our business close to the deadline. It's all just speculation based on transfer rumours and questionable reports until then.
The problem is with how weak our midfield is, we are risking getting behind the big boys by 6 points after just 2-3 weeks if we don’t sign players until October. Then they have to be eased into the squad and won’t be starting until November. We are starting behind the top 5 teams, so we have to play catch up.

Define ambition? Is ambition to you having the owner spend millions in one window? To me that isnt ambition.

Arteta will be here for much longer than 2 years.

What will more realistically happen is he will over achieve with the crap we have and then be off to Barcelona in 1-2 years because he knows the owners here have less ambition than Everton.

League is very weak
Going to be a tough season ahead, new CB’s from France, no midfield atm but maybe someone will join but they’ll need 6 months - 1 year to adjust, and Benjamin Button.

On paper, not feeling it.

League wise we will be better than last season. It has to. Making the top 6 will be an improvement.

No more signings til last 2 days of transfer window. Top targets have moved to other clubs, we sign overpriced squad filler.

Have lost to liverpool, drawn with Sheffield utd & Fulham, beaten West Ham.
5points from a possible 12 due to not having a decent midfield. Window ends.

Can totally see this happening. Playing catch-up again, not just trying to catch the other teams but trying to catch up on ourselves as well. By not getting players in in time we are handicapping ourselves from the start. Again.

The midfield is a big problem, we will nothing of note this season.

6-8th for me.
City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Utd, then it’s Arteta vs Jose for 5th I think.

I’m putting Chelsea and Utd above us simply on squad power, we easily have a better coach. My hope is a couple of top signings and we could take 4th from Ole.

Even with Arteta working miracles, looks like a 6-8th finish. Chelsea stronger, United get a penalty every other game, City & Pool already strong.

But should be fine because we have 32year old Willian now

who's Benjamin Button?

It's the almost 40 year old who came as a free signing here, with 7th most chances created in EPL last season.

Creating the most chances for a top 4 team (Chelsea) last season.

Looking further, I think Utd will sack Ole soon and hire Allegri, Potch, Nagelsmann etc. My hope of us taking advantage of them having a PE teacher in charge isn’t coming to fruition.
