I'm not a fan of all this backslapping on the Pinkun over the summer's transfer business

It does seem like a coup that we've signed Kvistgaarden, but ..... if the objective of the summer transfer business is to improve the quality of the squad, he has to be good given he's likely going to be replacing Sarge / Sainz, depending on position.

As well as Knapper and team have done in getting him in, the judgement will come based on what happens on the pitch.

We need some positivity and excitement going into the season, but perhaps better that expectations aren't sky high and there isn't too much pressure on new signings?
