I'm expecting plenty of changes.
Likely to see the 9 players from the bench on Saturday start with a couple of extras from the squad getting a run out. Plus a completely different 9 named on the bench who didn't feature Vs Man U
A great option and a safe pair of hands. Bart is likely to get plenty of game time when available but if he has a decent season could be a target for poaching next summer.
Steele has a vital part to play in the squad and seems to be immensely professional in playing his part when required.
Man City, Arsenal & Liverpool will be top 3.
Spurs, Man Utd & Chelsea are all likely to be close to top 4 but all have gaps in their squads/areas of weakness.
Villa, Newcastle & West Ham alongside us are all likely to be strong candidates for breaking into the top 6 if those 3 others don't...
Anything less than 50k would make it difficult to compete for champions league places regularly.
However, we are better off selling out regularly as we are
So far we have seen... Rutter, Wieffer, Minteh & Gruda who appear to be first team ready plus Osman, Yalcouye & Cozier-Dubbery
In summer 23 we signed Verbruggen, Igor, Milner, Baleba, Dahoud, Pedro & Fati. 5 first team ready plus Bart & Baleba
In summer 22. Colwill, Estupinian, Gilmour...
When he broke into the side he was able to dominate the box and kick/throw further than any other keeper I'd seen play for us before.
He fills the goal and made several incredible last ditch saves but was replaced because he wouldn't/couldn't play the passing game that RDZ wanted...
Potter was the evolution of the club, we had 2 season under CH and the board wanted the academy players to be utilised. He laid some good foundations and gave talented players game time.
RDZ played an exciting high tempo upgrade on tactics which achieved our highest ever finish and took us on a...
I've used NSC for years and have periods of time that I post more frequently than others but this is still the number one location I go to for any breaking news. Football or world related news is always referenced here quickly and although I first dipped in for Albion related sporting opinion I...
Verbruggen, Igor, Baleba, Milner, Dahoud, Fati & Pedro all signed last summer.
6/7 signings each summer isn't unusual. We will likely add a few more if available for the right price
Bart will be number 1. Steele is great to have in the squad. Rushworth going out on loan would be high up our priority list as a year on the bench doesn't add anything to his development
For me he is a steal if he goes for anything less than £30m
A brilliant passer of the ball and a great engine in our midfield. My current favourite player and losing him isn't worth thinking about
There are very few international managers who are at the peak of their careers. It seems to be unknowns or those who spectacularly lost a high profile post and are using it as a stepping stone.
Very few top level managers end up with an international side
