'The end of the transfer window!' Fans on club football's return

With pre-season officially in full swing, we asked you to tell us what you’re looking forward to about club football returning.

Here are some of your replies:

Phil: Nothing, unfortunately. The team has lost two big players already, with our biggest one also being touted with a move. Other players are being talked about as well. The team is being decimated. If there’s one thing to look forward to, it is the end of the transfer window.

Norm: Goals!!! We missed them last year!

Paige: I can’t wait to see if our transfer window will really have an impact on our performances. I do think last season could have been a one-off and next season could be different with the new signings.

Chris: As a Newcastle fan, I’m most looking forward to the opening of the Fantasy Premier League, where I’ll actually be able to see some signings take place!

Mark: I already can’t wait for the season to end. It’s embarrassing how the club is being made a mockery of in the transfer market, especially with the owners that we have. Keeping Bruno Guimaraes, making three or four more signings and a new stadium announcement would be what is needed to make most of us excited.

Debbie: I’m looking forward to seeing if the confidence shown by Yoane Wissa and Anthony Elanga at the World Cup can be developed at Newcastle.
