I am really looking forward to seeing the new guys and especially Zouma as of all the signings he could be the one who really improves us. Due to not getting a striker we need Antonio to stay fit, should he do so our four signings really do add depth and hopefully quality to the squad.
With all the other signings I’d forgotten about Zouma, who might just be our most important. Funnily enough I used to wonder why Moyes was so keen on that position but after seeing how he’a addressed every other weakness by just making players better, I see why we need him.
Not sure he'll start Zouma, he'll have had very little time with the squad and it's such an important position. Vlasic and possibly Kral more likely to play from the bench, imo.
Excited about all four of the new signings, but I think of those Zouma is the most important, should bring real quality to a key position. I expect the same staring eleven as last time out.
In two minds, part of me wants Dawson to keep his shirt but the other part says you have just bought Zouma so get him on. I Don't think he played for France so should be fresh. I am happy with everyone else waiting their turn.

Valentino Livramento is an 18yo who joined from Chelsea U23s. Despite the name he was born in Croydon (school can't have been easy)
Jack Stephens and Mohammed Salisu were back ups for Bednarek and Vestergard, they only played a few games last season.
Don't know why Bednarek hasn't been in the starting XI this season but he played for Poland on Wednesday

Since Moyes came back we’ve scored 100 Premier League goals. Only the Manchester clubs and Liverpool have also hit 3 digits.
