IF we were to reach the Premier League, how many of our players can make the step up?

[Cowfold Seagull]

Getting way ahead of myself I know, but if all of our dreams should come true, who do we have that could make the transition?

Name some names please.

Paul Barber

 

[One hot tub one ambition]

Hambo.

 

[El Sid]

Chris O'Gravy

 

[Zebedee]

Most of our first team I think:

At the very least - Stockdale, Maenpaa, Bong, Hunemeier, March, Hemed, Kayal, Stephens, Bruno, Rosenior, Baldock, Murphy, Lua Lua. Not sure about Manu. The rest are unlikely to be able to make the step up.

Bong Rosenior baldock Kayal Stephens dunk stockdale march murphy KLL

 

[The Birdman]

Dunk & Wilson and all those mentioned so far and I hope anyone we sign in January

 

[Stat Brother]

All the guys that'll be playing in the Premier League from February.

 

[AlbionPics&SouthCoastTwit]

David Stockdale

 

[father_and_son]

If you are good enough to get there you are good enough to play there.

 

[Zebedee]

If you are good enough to get there you are good enough to play there.

As Bournemouth are showing this season.

Bruno's beard is Champions League quality.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

25 man squad.

Recruit 11, keep the best 14 of what we have.

Think we'll need to replace Greer, Bruno and Zamora.
Stockers is great. Dunk or Hune would be fine with a decent quality top flight CB next to them. Rosey in for Bruno, with Bong back at LB. Kayal and Stephens are good enough. Think March will be as long as he's not out for too long now. Question mark over Kaz, kind of depends how he come's back. Think Murphy would be alright, steep learning curve for him though. I like Hemed, surely Zamora would be too old for anything more than the odd cameo, presuming he's still with us. Don't think Baldock is good enough, we'll need another Wilson.
Think most of the fringe players at the moment would struggle, would certainly make it harder for players such as Goldson, JFC, Manu etc to break through, not to mention some of the other talent from our U21's.
Would leave us lacking a lot of depth but if we are lucky enough to be in that position I'm pretty sure Mr Bloom will invest accordingly to give us a fighting chance, it's not in his interest for us to be one season wonders and fully trust we'll get it right.

As derby showed in 2007-08

 

[Bognor Seagull]

Suppose it all depends on money & whether we will be striving for 4th bottom or higher?

 

[Hampster Gull]

Stockdale, greer, dunk, uwe, kayal, stephens, march, KLL, bong, wilson

 

[BensGrandad]

Our players I would say Stockdale. Kayal Stephens Hunemier playing, Rosenior, Bong Dunk Hemed Murphy March as squad players.in the named 25

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Return of the Rev, Working Class Pride, Looney. Not sure about pretty pink fairy.

As WA said both Bournemouth and Palace had to get their ground upgraded but we dont have to we can concentrate our spending on the squad.
