I've come to the conclusion that some people talk a load of bollocks on here. Just enjoy the moment don't try to over think it.

Not me sadly.

Whose second account is @aloysius ?

Fwiw I think it's perfectly reasonable to make the observation that we've signed 11/12 white players and caution that there's always the possibility (AI or not) that unintended bias creeps into recruitment decisions. Any respectable company recognises this and takes steps to mitigate.

It may or may not be the case that some unintended bias influenced our recruitment process. I imagine it did not. Nonetheless, the original point made was simply that we should be mindful this can happen, not that it necessarily did.

It doesn't mean there is any overt racism, conscious bias or anything else resembling deliberate discrimination.

It is surely pretty hard to judge which players should start from a group several of which most of us had never heard of at the start of the year.

No doubt the team will chop and change a bit depending on form, tactics and rotation. It is far too early surely to guess lineup in say the play-off final if that is our fate.

interesting to note that I think only one of the OP suggested line up played for us last season!

Your faith in Westergaard is interesting. He looked a bit lightweight and out of bit to me. Sub him with Lubala (Berry) and I think we can live with that.

Hate to think but what a shame to take the high of an incredible transfer window and create an argument from seemingly nothing.

and I'm currently homalone

4-3-2 / 4-4-1 seems something of a disadvantage.

Ignoring the missing 11th player, if I’m interpreting this correctly, are you saying our strongest match day squad excludes McCleary? I can’t claim to have seen all our new signings play but surely he’s still worth a place on the bench at least.

I think a more likely midfield 3, assuming we stick with one, is Xavi, Scowen & Humphries.

My big hope amongst the more unknown signings is that Back can offer a similar option at RB to what Harvie offers at LB.

No I'm more pre malone.

So this is really @Malone!
