Aye, we have. I had us down for 5th or 6th in the predictions thread, and that's not false modesty/pessimism.
Our striking acquisitions simply have not been good enough, and I worry hugely about our keepers.
We've been assuming something was happening on the striker front, but it's likely at this stage to be a loan, and that'll be a gamble by default. Last season we started with two loan strikers who appeared to be solid acquisitions, and they contributed f**k all.
