Foxin_Mad Posted 29 July 2023 Share Posted 29 July 2023 I can say without hesitation or doubt the current team would be nowhere near promotion. The club are asleep engaging in vanity projects, will they wake up in time? I doubt it. We need at least 2/3 more creative players as we have absolutely no creativity, we still look to have no option for a plan b either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's lazy assumptions because we were a PL team and have raised £80m in transfer fees. Our squad is all over the gaff right now and Maresca is a huge unknown. More stable and stronger teams than us currently. I'm with you on this one. On paper we have a good squad, it'll be how quickly Enzo can transfer his ideas and how they take to him, which we have a full picture of that. Problem is, we need to hit the ground running and this preseason worries me. Look how well Bristol City have done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more that they have had local friendlies and went of a preseason camp (ironically, same place in Austria we went to in the Pearson era).

Tuna Posted 29 July 2023 Share Posted 29 July 2023 I think we'll win the league, we'll not be the finished article until the end of the transfer window and we'll have some dodgy results along the way - look at Burnley's early results last season and you'll see draws with Wigan etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalkeepers: We have three of the top ten goalkeepers on the league. 4th - Ward 6th - Iversen 7th - Harmensen 36th - Smithies All are capable of playing at this level. We can afford to lose two of them. Defenders: We have four of the top ten defenders in the league. 1st - Castagne 5th - Faes 6th - Justin 10th - Souttar 14th - Coady 15th - Kristensen 17th - Thomas 20th - Ricardo 21st - Doyle 42nd - Vestergaard Midfielders: We have three of the top ten Midfielders in the league. 3rd - Ndidi 4th - Dewsbury Hall 5th - Soumare 11th - Winks 17th - Praet 24th - Choudhury Forwards: We only have one of the top ten forwards in the league. 5th - Iheanacho 7th - Daka 59th - Vardy What this analysis has shown me as that a value of a player, means absolutely nothing, albeit, we do still have assets that are worth a lot.

NewEnglandFox Posted 1 August 2023 Share Posted 1 August 2023 I'd been skeptical of Ndid's transfer market value for years. He was €60m a year ago and is now at €25m. Seesh 60% down. Suppose that's closer to reality. Ward though. Worth the same as last preseason and even jumped a bit last fall. You can't sell something without finding a buyer.
