I can see why people are saying that Dragan's words were "vague" and/or "open to interpretation" but, in my opinion, there's no way, *if* we end the window with a weaker team (on paper), that that outcome could be spun to retrofit his words, even by the forum's most esteemed contrarians...
(And, for the avoidance of doubt, I'm not saying we *will* end the window with a weaker team than last season, just saying hypothetically *if* we do...)
