It’s not 2020 anymore Fosse, times change, clubs change. Yours is changing, from being a regular top 6 contender to, well, I don’t want to upset you so let’s leave it there.
Tielemans would be a good addition to any squad for the £12m or so he’d cost, or free if they wait a little longer.

Twice in the last 7 seasons, hardly regular Tel
... and an FA Cup win to boot ... dream on and on and on ...

So that's twice in the last six and a half seasons. Do you expect to finish top 6 in the remaining half of this season?Your maths is flawed ... Champions in 2015/16 (dream on) ... plus 2 top 6 finishes since... and an FA Cup win to boot ... dream on and on and on ...

I have no idea why Ward got games, the man looks a liability to me (was Iverson injured?)... in all seriousness, I'm more than happy with where we are at this point ... poor start .... changes needed ... and we'll likely see Soyuncu, Vestergaard, Perez and Praet exiting with some, potentially, excellent young talent (Tetè, Kristiansen +) coming in ... plus Ricardo, Ndidi and Soumare are all close to returning from injury ... also, Iversen kept his third clean sheet in 3 first team appearances at the weekend... so I hope Brenda will finally wake up and smell the goalkeeping coffee ... all of that combined will see us with a youthful but quality squad to see out the rest of what is, unquestionably, a 'transitional' season ...![]()

Not sure about your CB Faes, i know you boosted him a few weeks back but since then he has looked weak every time iv'e seen him (which in fairness is not very often).
You do have a very decent squad and sometimes i think a new manager would get more out of them.

If Sunderland won the league and FA Cup, I would gladly accept a triple relegation and a decade of 4th division football.a league and cup winning side in last 10 years in fringe of relegation, you are happy about that. Wow.
Your maths is flawed ... Champions in 2015/16 (dream on) ... plus 2 top 6 finishes since... and an FA Cup win to boot ... dream on and on and on ...
... the fact that only Citeh, Liverpool and Chelsea, with all their spending power, have bettered that haul, in the same time frame, really does put your post into perspective... but thanks for playing anyway ...![]()

Tel said Leicester have been genuine top 6 contenders for however many years. He didn't say they've finished in the top 6 on any number of occasions. When Leicester finished outside the top 6 those other seasons, they were still challenging the top 6.
Tel was right with his original post.
Surely to be genuine contenders, means that you either finish 6 or better or miss out on goal difference. I’m pretty sure there next best finish has been 9th, so I wouldn’t say that’s “top 6 contenders”
the reality is that since 2015/16 we've been more successful than 3 of the so called Big 6 and every other English club ... any fan of a club outside the Big 6 would kill for such an achievement... and I'll continue to remind everyone ... and certainly rub it in as far as those teams in the Big 6 that are still chasing after those achievements are concerned...
