    Lots of down people today after the Jose news, however i'm still optimistic about next season. Cabaye looks real class and the perfect compliment to Tiote, I think that partnership will be real quality and a match for most teams in the league. We have several exciting wingers as well as HBA who could play wide or centrally and we all know what he is capable of. Up front Ba looks like he could score a lot of goals given the right level of service and I think Leon Best will come good again this season, I watched him at Leeds and his movement was real quality.

    In defence I think we are solid enough, Coloccini is an amazing player and I dont think theres much between Williamson and Taylor, I would choose between them based on who the opposition was. My only real concern now is with the full backs as I have never had any confidence in Danny Simpson and with Jose leaving that LB spot is going to be a tough one to fill

    Obviously we have 2 (possibly 3) GK who look more than decent

    With players like Vuckic and Sameobi ready to come in and stake their claim, I think we will have a better season than last

    Cheer up lads

    The upcoming season will go one of two ways, very well or very badly, nervous/excited!

    I feel like that before every season starts.

    Wouldn't change it.

    Im fairly optimistic. It could also go like last year which was middle of the road, I would settle for that for another season.

    I think defensively even with Enrique we are piss poor as proved by the amount conceded last year.
    We've never been and probably never will be tight at the back that's why we are desperate for a quality striker.

    If the club brings in Pieters (or another decent LB) and CB (as back-up), with no other important players going out the door, I'll be reasonably optimistic for the season. Without those players though we're in a lot of trouble, let's not kid ourselves.

    Another striker would be nice as well, but I don't think it's as important as the defense at the moment.

    I think that we will do ok, hopefully playing with a bit more flair. Our midfield seems very strong but I would still like to see a couple of defenders and another striker come in. Depending on the quality of these players, I would then be relatively happy.
