I've said this before, but in theory I think we are going to be a lot stronger in the squad.
Besic is technically the only new body in, but we get Lukaku for at least and additional 5 games compared to last season. Gibson, Kone, Pienaar, Oviedo should all be back in the fold sooner rather than later, and I'm assuming that some of the youngsters will make good also. Garbutt in particular has looked pretty good during preseason.
