The score a few more goals is crucial. We need one of Andone or Locadia (ideally both) to work well as a forward option. Andone sounds like he is exactly the right signing for our system so hopefully he will do well as we did struggle to score goals for much of last season, especially away.
I voted 7 because we're in the prem. Don't like the commercialisation though it can't be avoided.

Always excited, haven't a clue how it will work out

Yesterday’s signing helped enormously.

Never one to get too excited.
Out of interest, what has kept it down to a 7? What would boost it up to an 8 or 9?

Some of us are realistic and don't get carried away. 7 is a steady score for another difficult relegation fight.
Good ol' bi-polar NSC! Lose at Watford and most of these scores will be halved.
7 btw. I'm still in World Cup mode, plus of course the cricket's on. I shan't really get Albion-i-fied until the day of the Watford game.

How can it be anything other than 10 at the moment? Nicking players from PSV, outgunning Porto re Bissouma, going toe to toe with Borussia Dortmund for Delaney, welcoming players back from a World Cup, keeping hold of all of our best players.
These are great times to be an Albion fan.

A positive 7
7. It was about 3 while the World Cup was on, and has picked up a bit with new signings and new kit, but I'm a little footballed out right now, plus a new addition to the family 4 months ago has been.....distracting. By season start I'll be a 9.

Sorry, but I think the reverse is true. If you score a 7 then your expectations are way higher than mine, unrealistically so imho. I'm a 9 because my expectations ARE for a tough season and a battle to finish 17th or higher again, but that I am delighted with our preparations so far for that battle. I'm a 9 because unlike all previous seasons since TB took over, our transfer business has been decisive, and completed quickly, allowing the new players to integrate into the squad, have a full pre-season, and hopefully 'get' what we're all about. And so far, we appear to be retaining all our best players from last season. What are the realistic expectations of a 7 to get to an 8 or 9?
Agree with bringing in players early. I think that's vital to get them bedded in etc so kudos to the club.

This for me too.
Look at our friends up the road, no spending power, no singings ( well, one goalie) and their best players queuing up to get the **** out of dodge.
Happy days indeed.
but prob still ahead of us on the pitch

I'd much rather play the big boys early when their players are recovering from the World Cup and bedding in new signings made late in the window than, say, October or November.
I wouldn't read to much what they are doing up the road. They are very shrewd in the loan market and i expect them to be the same when the window edges towards closure.
Think people are reading to much into it. They will pull out a couple of good signings. I'd rather worry about us then comparing ourselves to other clubs.
It’s still the summer. Not thinking about the Albion just yet.
