NurembergVillan Posted June 14, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 14, 2017 2 hours ago, handsworthvilla said: Yeah because Huddersfield / Brighton really showed you need to throw £100 million at this league to get promoted ....... So much hyperbole. A couple of shrewd additions and there's absolutely no reason why we can't challenge with the current squad. Don't think I was clear enough in my reply. What I meant was that the shopping list there would cost more like £130-160m, rather than that's what we actually need to spend. We need additions, for sure, but I think suggesting we need so many and at such a high standard right now is both unnecessary and unrealistic.

Unfortunately for me I dont feel that way, hence my inner urge to state it on VT. I think we'll be alright (as in we'll be pottering about in mid-table again), but I think we need players if we're going to be challenging at the top of the table. We need to create more chances of a higher quality. We need more mobility in midfield. I don't think it's as bad as needing to fulfil the shopping list you put together, but we're still a work in progress that needs pushing forward.

Our squad, on paper, is capable of pushing for promotion in this league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Forgetting Terry for a moment, would anyone take Morgan or Huth from Leicester if they sign two new centre backs this summer. Rumour is they want to replace both of them. Personally, I would take either of them over Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take either but I'd imagine there will be a decent number of PL teams who would sign them, especially Brighton, Newcastle and Huddersfield. They did help Leicester win the PL not too long ago so would probably still be an attractive proposition for a lot of teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashingqwerty Posted June 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2017 Our current squad with a different tactical approach is capable of promotion. However if SB persists with his current tactical approach (or lack thereof) then i feel we still need 5/6 players to play it effectively enough to challenge for promotion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted June 14, 2017 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2017 Current squad is good enough for automatic promotion but just need to be utilised right in a settled system that gets the best out of the players. Bruce couldn't find that last season and with the addition of even more new players I'm not sure he'll find the right combination in the new season? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 more than happy for Brum to take that Bellend over us, his personality fits the club, and his legs are knackered anyway. Would much rather gamble on a young player from league one for example 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
