[Albion] How close is this squad to being top 4?

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Dm and cm looks a concern and if any injuries to cb then we are literally screwed .

Other than that then potentially top half

"Literally"?

 

[Napper]

"Literally"?

Webster and igor . Lower half mate

Yes but “literally” screwed? They’re going to affix the club to a wall? Or, ahem, worse?

 

[Seagull27]

Hard to tell, we probably need the players and FH to all bed in and get used to the PL and then we’ll know better.

Yep, new manager with a different style, and lots of new players to settle in, means I'm not getting too excited yet. I'd be happy with a top 10 finish, with potential shown for more.

Having said that, the depth of the squad does make it feel like we're gearing up for European football. And with Barco, Buonanotte and others coming back from successful loans next season, we could have some squad.

Top 4 discussion isn’t it ?

 

[portslade seagull]

Not strong enough defensively, attack wise we are though

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Dunno until we have played at least 10 games.

there are some very good sides out there and we are still to break into that cabal!

 

[Super Sub]

It’s interesting in that most think top 10 and yet score predictions for tomorrow look very positive against a top 4 contender.

Home advantage.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Top 1 at the moment.

The table never lies

 

[Super Sub]

Home advantage.

Just playing devils advocate but would we all be predicting a loss then if it were at Old Trafford?

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

Should we manage to get the deals over the line for Ferdi, O'Riley and a centre half then just how close are we to having a top 4 squad?

I look at our options across the pitch and there are a few players that i just wouldnt swap for anyone else. Others i think are up there with the best of them and in no position do i think that we look weak.

Dare we dream?

About 10 years

Top 4 discussion isn’t it ?

Yeah, but what does being 'literally screwed' have to do with that.

I think you mean 'screwed, but not literally screwed'

 

[Munchkin]

A 20 goal a season striker. (That we may already have within our ranks)

Obviously a biased fanbase, only 10% forecasting a Manure win tomorrow.

Away from home …. 40%?

Fair shout on the Biase.

 

[Flounce]

What is the point of being a football fan if, at the start of the season, you cannot get carried away?

And for this reason alone I am expecting top 4

 

[Weststander]

With O’Riley and Ferdi almost over the line, Hummels and Gomez certs let’s face it, with no midweek European games unlike Villa, top 7 on?

Yes, imo. Only needs a couple of teams to **** up (Spursy has already put in an early bid) and we could do better than that.

 

[HangletonGull]

Very close
