We can't possibly be considered stronger at this point!

We've signed Gilmour in place of Skipp
Rashica in place of Buendia.
Gunn in place of Nyland.

That's basically it. The first team is otherwise untouched, except but Kenny, Hanley and Gibson will all be coming back off injury and definitely aren't all going into preseason fully fit. (I may be wrong on Gibsons fitness, just assuming he can't be 100% yet).

If we maintain our 4231 we need a new potential starter at every level: CB, DM, AM and striker otherwise we're probably weaker. Skipp and Buendia were superb and made all the other parts work better.
