I am buzzing for the beginning of next season! I truly believe we will have enought to stay up next season and even if we don't, the quality of player that is being brought in by PL is sure to see us come straight back up if we can hang on to them! If we successfully sign Johnson, Bennett, Snodgrass and a couple of defenders, along with Morrison and Vaughan, and add that to what we have got already our squad will be unstoppable if we go down! Imagine a Championship squad (assuming we sign and then keep them all) consisting of: Ruddy Rudd Steer R.Martin Francomb Ward Barnett Whitbread Drury Tierney (plus any defenders we sign this summer) Crofts Fox Snodgrass Hoolahan Surman Johnson Bennett McNamee Smith Lappin (plus maybe Osman or someone like him and Hughes if he stays) Holt Morrison Jackson Vaughan Martin (plus Oli, Cody and Daley if we keep them) It is a formidable Championship squad and like I said it is a squad I would fancy to compete reasonably well in the Premiership. Im not saying we are going to make the top 6, or even the top half but I think they could compete with those teams that finished in the bottom half or came up with us i.e. Wolves, QPR, Wigan, Blackburn, Swansea and even teams like Stoke and Newcastle. Just think, a worse squad than this beat a better Man U team than they have now! In that game Rooney came off the bench, Ronaldo came off the bench after 9mins or so to replace Saha, Van Nistlerooy played etc. Without going too far, lets be bloody positive about next season and about the years we have to come! Lambert and board have done wonders and continue to do so, and I for one am going to enjoy it! I am getting sick of hearing "oh we're going to struggle next year!" and "We're only going to go straight back down" and "Lets be cautious" etc. As I have said I know we might struggle but lets enjoy the fact that Lambert is clearly not gona let us go down without a fight like Worthington did! Think about enjoying next season and if we do go down, who cares! Look at the squad we will have! Lambert (If he stays) would surely be able to get "yoyo" them back up! HAPPY DAYS AT NCFC !!!!! OTBC
Ps sorry if I left any players out of the list. I was writing in a rush to spill out what I had to say! OTBC
Dont worry about it being strong enough for the championship, were in the prem for the long haul now! I will say though 6 atleast of that list will be gone on loan or permantly in the summer... OTBC
I am afraid to say I can`t see Chrissy Martin getting much action in the prem. He was a bit slow in the championship, let alone the prem. I can see Lambo loaning him out
Better take you camera to every ground and photos of prem players you will be 6 points adrift by Christmas - lambert on his way and Delia back to selling more books to keep you afloat
Balance the books? Haven't you heard, there's loads of money to be had in the Premiership, you should try it some time!
Salisbury white. your just jealous. We have gone up to 2 divisions in 2 yrs and when we led a division we held our nerve and stayed there not like Leeds bottle jobs. But fairplay you are top of the yobbo league again. well done
quicker the rise quicker the fall - your living in rarified air now and could run out of steam by October - you'll be playing Porton in a few years!!
jeez, is this idiot always on our page? think i'm gonna give up with not606 completely and just post on 12 yards - no wums!
Superman - all I'm saying is, no matter where you go, you're always going to come across these puerile tossers! Just rise above it, it's not difficult, they're normally pretty low anyway!
Back to the op, yep can't wait for the start of the season. Fixtures are out on Friday so that will be exciting
