Aint no doubt it's plain to see, Eddie Howe's mags are the team for me. Your defence lying on the floor Isak's ice cold and he'll score some more. To avoid confusion, no, i'm not a professional song writer.
My buddy, you just can’t win. I refuse to lie down. I think of you waiting for the sunshine on this night of a thousand stars.
Top 6. That should be what we compete for every single season and if we don't sign the players to achieve it then the board are at fault and if we do and still don't get it, the manager is at fault.
Squad seems to be a lot weaker than last season as it stands in my 'umble. Might struggle to finish top half unless Mitchell gets his finger out
Top 3 are already set. City, arsenal and Liverpool. 4th is up for grabs. We have a big advantage with no europe.
How does our squad look weaker? GK: Pope, Dubravka, Gillespie - Added: Odys, Ruddy RB: Trippier, Tino, Krafth RCB: Schar, Lascelles - Added: None currently but clearly after another LCB: Botman, Burn - Added: Kelly LB: Hall, Targett RCM: Longstaff, Miley CM: Bruno, Tonali (back from suspension) LCM: Joelinton, Willock - Lost: Anderson RW: Miggy, Murphy LW: Gordon, Barnes CF: Isak, Wilson - Added: Osula (Pending but we've had a "Here We Go" from Fabrizio) So we've added 4 players to the first team and lost one (maybe two if you include Minteh) while clearly pushing for a CB and a RW by all accounts. Tonali only manage 12 games last year also so will be "like a new signing". I'll give you the signings so far, bar Kelly, don't really impact the starting XI or even the second XI but bar Anderson (who was probably 5th choice CM) we've lost no one of note. Said it at the tail end of last season but this summer is about keeping the big name players and bringing in a CB and a Winger - not done yet but I'm confident come September 1st that squad will be better than last seasons.
