OK, a joke then.
But - and I think you missed the point - it was something that very obviously wasn't being said. All 'squad', no mention of 'team'. Yes, we hope they are better than the players they have replaced, but if our first eleven still looks something like: Ryan; Bruno, Dunk, Duffy...
We hope our squad has been improved!
Actually, even that wouldn't be much of a triumph, not for £56M anyway - they (or some of them) need to improve the team.
