You forgot "we're working hard to bring in new players before training starts / before the friendlies begin / before the pre-season tour / ahead of the first game of the season / just before the transfer window shuts / as soon as the loan window opens"

Or maybe it will be:
- a bit different to last season..... or
- looks like we really mean business now ..... or
- never expected to see us so fast out of the blocks.

I am ever the optimist, but you never know......
