The feeling is only magnified for fans of teams who were promoted the previous season and would be competing at a higher level. This was the narrative surrounding the opening weekend of the Premier League season as Tottenham Hotspur faced off against Aston Villa.
The overriding story at the beginning of last season was that Spurs had not signed a single player. Despite this lack of transfer activity we still saw them secure a top-four finish, while also reaching the final of the Champions League for the first time in their history.
This year, however, we have seen a number of new arrivals at the club. Chief amongst those is club-record signing Tanguy Ndombele, signed from Lyon, along with the mercurial Argentinian midfielder Giovani Lo Celso who joined in a deadline day loan deal from Real Betis.
Aston Villa are back in the top flight for the first time in what must feel like an eternity. Following from their surprising relegation from the Premier League the club underwent a period of mismanagement both on and off the field.
Money was spent on players who either had the wrong age profile or just did not have the quality to play at the top level.
Following the appointment of the Brentford coach Dean Smith, we started to see a turn around at Villa Park. Performances improved and the club ended up gaining promotion through the play-offs.
What followed feels like a risk as over £100million was spent on refreshing and rebuilding the squad. There is always a risk when you try to introduce a large number of players into your first-team squad as they have to mesh with existing players and learn a new playing system.
