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

[Super Sub]

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?

5 places

Defo top 20 at least.

 

[Titanic]

Anything above 10th would be a result.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Another fullback, central defender, midfielder and striker who will score 15+ goals.

 

[Change at Barnham]

4 places, but hopefully City get a points deduction this season.
So maybe 7th if things fall our way.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Top 1 at the moment.

I dont think we need the 15+ goal striker. If each winger chips in with 5 goals then that is already 50...

Let's not start getting ahead of ourselves, we have only played one game! Personally l would be happy with a top half finish, and if we could squeeze into a European spot, then ecstatic.

I suspect we will always be "little old Brighton" where the top end of the Premier League is concerned

The next 37 league games could be top 4 defining.

About 3/4 of a billion pounds

sad but true.

We'll get some idea by the international break

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

We've no real idea yet how good Rutter, Gruda, Ferdi, O'Riley or Wieffer are relative to the rest of the premier league, so this is premature

Even what you say is premature, as we have no idea yet if Ferdi or O'Riley will be Albion players!

 

[chickens]

I think we have (especially if we get Ferdi and O’Riley) a fantastic squad, but this is a season (especially first half) where everything is hopefully gelling together.

I like to think we could easily be top 10 this season if everyone settles well, but I don’t believe top 4 is impossible, albeit it requires at least two “bigger” well-established teams to have poor seasons.

Ignore the glass half empty posters who will all be happy with 10th. I believe we can push for top 4 with our squad. No Europe to worry about either.

Although sadly next season, with Europe to worry about, we would surely be relegated.

 

[Weststander]

We've been informed over the last week on nsc that Weiffer, Milner and Hinshelwood had shockers at Goodison. A few seem to have major concerns over Weiffer.

Based on those expert assessments, we'd be lucky to get 10th.

 

[heathgate]

Top 8 squad,... but of course the big question is, can FH match those aspirations?
