Despite all the excitement of last week's signings, I am worried on two counts. 1. We haven't increased the size or quality of the starting line-up - Barry and Lukaku were already there and we've added Bescic instead of Delafeou. 2. The quality of our pre-season preparation seems to be poor. Going to Thailand to play Leicester was clearly a commercial rather than a football decision. Meanwhile, all the four teams who finished above us last season are in the US taking part in a top class tournament. I think we need to bring in another 2 or 3 top quality players but that would now seem unlikely. Anyone else concerned?
