    Just as well we only need to finish above 3 other teams, it’ll be difficult but it is doable if we recruit well.

    What’s with all the positivity all of a sudden <confused> <whistle>

    We should sign all the best players from the other potential relegation candidates just to weaken them further :biggrin:

    Brentford, Brighton and Forest all managed it. Recruitment needs to be almost flawless, which is why I’m a little concerned that we let the current team go, they didn’t get a lot wrong lately.

    If we could get Longstaff for £10m and Solomon for £15m and sell Wober for £7.5m and Harrison for £10m we already have 7.5m lined up for Kristensen so we won’t have started eating into the budget

    Okay Solomon might be on his way to Marseille but the scenario mentioned is not impossible. There will be bargains to be had, it will be about getting players in who can compliment what we have

    Players we need to be chasing are the ones who didn't figure to much last season and are gagging to get their career going again, as we won't be paying any sort of cash for first team Prem players because they will suck up all our funds unless they from the 3 coming down.
    there's plenty of them about but they also will be the ones the lower end of the prem will be gaggling to get. I still say the majority of players coming in will be from foreign shores they are cheaper and will want a move to the Prem its the best league in the world. right or wrong but it's what will happen. There's no cat in hells chance were forking out 40M for a Liverpool keeper. its all about battling on and being lucky in our lower end recruitment. we are in the Prem but we are in no position to be attracting anyone with a name. one because we aren't established and we won't be attractive and two we won't beable to afford them.
    We just going to have to cross our fingers and hope because honestly we need about 7 or 8 additions and they have to hit the ground running.
    only league table in my head will be 17th- 20th. its going to be a long bumpy ride loads more downs than ups but we have to believe otherwise we already down.

    Wober was one of our better players the season we got relegated and I think he did well playing left back in the few games he came on,and Gnonto played well on the left the season we got relegated,and Bogle is light years better than Luke Ayling although I think the world of him.
