Is our squad stronger or weaker than last year?

I think I will wait until the window shuts before I make my final call. C’mon City get us a couple more or at least a LB

Stonger in multiple area's but weaker in a critical one...hopefully remedy in next few weeks.
I think it’s weaker. We lost Sterling scoring even tho he didn’t play well. Jesus was playing very good in my eyes. I also think that he would actually scored much more this season but whatever. We lost pace, also we still didn’t get our LB. Now we only have Walker and Cancelo as Fullbacks. The names on the sheet are nice but the combos ain’t it. Need an LB + winger imo.

We have replaced two players who were never guaranteed starters with the best striker in the world in Haaland and one of the most exciting young prospects on the world stage in Alvarez.We have also brought in an International holding and very hungry midfielder in Philips to replace an ageing and well past his best Dinho.A more accomplished 2nd choice keeper has also arrived.
And there are still 4 weeks of the window open.....

Depends on who we sign in the correct areas.

I think the real question should be have our opponents got stronger or weaker? You could argue that with the exception of the Rags, they all have. Dippers, Spuds, Arse and Chelsea are trying - bless em!! Watching the Community Shield at the weekend and notwithstanding our lack of pre-season, I would like to see our pattern of play speed up a bit. Dippers are getting their team sharper and faster with some dynamic players (Diaz, Jota and Nunez). We don't really have that kind of dynamism, although Alvarez looks of that mould KDB and Foden to a certain extent. The answer to the original question will be apparent come April/May next year. ;)

Slight weaker 49 out of 100 i think.
Plus side
We freshened the squad
Bought no 9
Replaced ferna
We have got pep - may be like 09 barca who had 18/19 senior player and others are played from academy. May be finally our academy are ready to bring real talents of our level.
Minus side
No lb (till now)
Too many changes 3/4 new faces in a transfer window is a bit too much.
No proper depth like last year
Lost experienced player and bought alvarez and even haaland who are not that epl experienced.
Has to rely on palmer, mcatee and may be academy lb (i m excited though as our academy players will be geting chances)
Need a winger
Liverpool has strengthened as well.

Slightly stronger but the left back situation needs sorting.
