...it's not going to happen, is it?
Unless we have a practically injury-free season there is no way we'll qualify for the CL next year with the current squad.
I assume he is expecting quite aggressive squad strengthening happening inside at least 2-3 of our main rivals, coupled with perhaps a new manager bounce at those clubs.
It’s difficult to see Chelsea being as poor again and one assumes Liverpool will improve and be more consistent under Klopp, neither of whom achieved a top 4 finish last season. United, who knows.
One thing for sure is that it will be a very interesting season as 1-2 very high profile managers are doomed to “fail”.
I don’t think we can afford to idly stand by and go with the status quo. I don’t expect we will either.
Akpom, Sanogo and Chambers. All is not lost though. The passing range of Xhaka, will unleash the true potential of Sanchez as a striker. The little Chilean will get 30 goals.
He'll then refuse to sign a new deal and be sold to Real Madrid next summer. But, we'll worry about that next year.
the Higuain story was interesting until the part about us offering £40m plus Giroud.
Yeah....hmm....thought we were keeping the big lump and giving him a strike partner to play with.
Notice Chambers is still at the club....still a chance we'll see a 3-5-2 next season...
