Vive_La_Villa Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 As the squad currently stands I’d say avoiding relegation albeit in a more comfortable way would be the goal again. Sounds absurd after spending over 200m in 2 seasons but that’s how tough the league is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 The way I see it we have 13 players in our squad that you could rely on to put in good performances on a consistent basis. Some of those are new signings and I am going purely on reputation and my own thoughts on them. If we can get that up to 16 and with some of the other players improving then we have a chance of being much more comfortable. Martinez, Heaton Cash, Guilbert Targett Konsa, Mings Traore, Grealish McGinn, Luiz Watkins, Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey i agree with but KD is still a player that doesn’t have goals in him but is able to hold the ball well...

In terms of lower end Premier League / top end championship players we have a lot of them which is why we do well in the League cup with a second string. edit: It’s also why I think we would have come straight back up if we got relegated.

MaVilla Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 We arent far from a decent 11 (for where we are right now). We need an MC critically, would be happy with a Barkley or RLC loan with a buy option. in reality if we could get one of those, at a push you could argue any other purchases are cosmetic, by this i mean a new MC would probably round off the team "if" we dont have much cash left. would be pretty happy with an 11 of Martinez, Targett, Mings, Konsa, Cash, Luiz, McGinn, Barkley/RLC, Grealish, Watkins, Traore. The main issues beyond that are depth (if we dont have 20-30m to spend on a first team player). "If" we do have more money, a new winger or striker would be nice, but also a new LB or CB to challenge would be good, all depends on our finances as to whats realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds absurd after spending over 200m in 2 seasons but that’s how tough the league is. I can't really make my mind up about it. At one side we've strengthened the squad by quite a lot, kept our best players (so far anyway). And I have a slight hope about finishing 15th-12th ish. Especially as we have added a proper striker to our ranks. If we had a proper striker the first 6 months of last season, I'm sure we would never have been dragged into the relegation mire. On the other hand what you say and the fact that we are just one or two injuries away from being utterly depressed about this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Like with a lot of teams it may just come down to injuries again. Losing Wesley, Davis, Heaton and Mcginn throughout Jan and Feb is when it started to look like the beginning of the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
