After window has closed what's your guys thoughts on this season???

Imo we've got a solid enough side to retain the title and go far into UCL. My only concern is if we get couple of injuries at the back.
Konate gets his form back and Leoni comes in good we should hopefully be okay. I still hope to get Ghuehi in Jan.

For cups we've got lot of lads that'll need game time. I want to see more of Rio.

There's a lot of pressure on us to win something now after the window we've just had but you know what there was pressure on us to finish in the top 4 back in Brendan's day and pressure on us to finish inside the top 2 back in Roy Evans's day [only 2 CL places in those days] and even pressure on us to stay relevant in a couple of places so there's pressure at this club no matter what. Out of all the different types of pressure this is the best type, the pressure which comes because people expect you to win the biggest prizes in the sport, you don't get better pressure than that, that type of pressure is actually a privilege.
It wasn't that long ago we were being told we can't sign player X or player Y because we haven't got champions league footy to offer them. Look at us now. Let's revel in this pressure.

Difficult to say. We had a good transfer window but also a lot of players that won the league last season with us have left. We basically dismantled our league winning team and built a new one. Now I do believe that most of the transfers were necessary and on paper a lot of the new signings are an improvement over the ones that left but still, we pretty much have a new team so we can't know for sure how we'll perform throughout the whole season.

Opposition has strengthen as well. Everybody's talking about how much we've spent but it's actually Arsenal that had the biggest net spend, they bought a lot while also keeping all of their players from last season, basically strengthening their squad depth which they feel it's what they lacked last season. If there is pressure on anyone to win the league it should be on them.

And of course Pep's Man City is always a huge threat. They didn't have a great start but they can easily go on a winning run out of nowhere and rack up points.
