Always find it a little funny to see people make bullish, table-climbing predictions on teams solely because they've signed a lot of players with pretty much 0 evidence to support their claim as they've literally never seen them kick a ball together
Noticed recently that many people on here undervalue the importance of a solid system, cohesion, dynamics on the pitch, etc. — even the brighter accounts
i.e. Everton & Chelsea had/are having great windows, but we need to actually see them on the pitch first. It's not FIFA or a charity world XI friendly. If it was, United would've won/challenged for numerous titles with various windows they had under LvG & José
There's a big difference between adding 1-2 key additions to an already-set XI with a pretty much fixed system + identity/playing model, and going out and buying a completely new MF like Everton or a completely new-look ATT like Chelsea. It's going to require patience
