The dust has just about settled on Swansea City's summer transfer window, and it's done a fair amount to heighten the feelgood factor around the club.
Insiders at the club have spoken about a buzz around the place at the moment following what's been an impressive start to the season, and a transfer window many believe has been the strongest seen in these parts since the days of the Premier League.
On the face of things, it's easy to get on board with that narrative, although Vitor Matos, with his game-by-game-never-looking-at-the-table-because-nothing's-been-achieved-yet mentality is arguably the ballast needed to police anyone in danger of getting too carried away.

Indeed, in some ways, there's arguably now a newfound sense of pressure for Matos to deliver.

Watford was a blissful and tantalising taste of what might be possible. A glimpse into a genuinely exciting future for a club that for too long has had to wade through the thick gloopy mud of midtable mediocrity.
Zan Vipotnik, despite interest, including a late enquiry from Burnley, has stayed on board, and there's now an enviable level of depth all over the park.
There is still a chance the striker could leave, of course, with Matos himself pointing to some of the markets that are still open, including Portugal, where Vipotnik is known to have some suitors.
The prospect of him departing is, for what it's worth, still considered unlikely, but it could be an episode they're forced to revisit at some point.
But there's another potential asset that outsiders may well start to eye up soon – if they aren't already.
Filip Lissah, fresh from his superb loan spell at Falkirk last season, where he established himself as arguably the most exciting defender in the league, has shown he's more than capable of standing up to life in the Championship.
His performances suggest there's still some polishing to do, but have been more than accomplished enough to suggest Swansea have a real potential star on their hands.
Matos is one of those to have been hugely impressed.
