The spine of the team

Had the team (main eleven) that finished the season started it we would have been comfortable IMO.

The strength in depth is an issue. But it is for the majority of teams tbf.



I'm more than happy with the staring two centre halves and we won't get much better than Mvila and Kirchhoff in midfield.

The likes of Jones and PVA aren't good enough full backs and the likes of Nzogbia and Khazri are poor IMO.

I do concede the strength in depth isn't there but I was on about starting XI

Can't mount a PL campaign with just the bare bones of a starting XI....we need shoring up all over the pitch.
 
What were you expecting in the window? Eight or nine new signings? No one will be doing that.

I'm expecting to go into the new season with a squad more or less capable of achieving a mid table finish. Maybe not 8 or 9,but certainly 4 or 5 and the same going out. That's the minimum we need.
 
As has been said, decent spine if every one is fit.

Desperate for some competition.

Had we started the season with the squad we finished with I reckon we wouldn't have been in danger. And I agree, another four players and I will be happy.
 
Is solid already, only really need to strengthen the wide positions and hopefully add another creative midfielder and we are well on the way.

Allardyce left us with solid foundations and Moyes has proven he can build on that.

Should be a decent season :cool:

Right back, centre mid and another striker are the 3 positions we massively need.

A centre half, full back cover and a winger would also be nice.

Khazri is not poor he will be on 50k per week.
 
I think it was an ethic that SA left us with, that's why he's managing England.

Stand Tall.

*This is assuming that we don't get Mvila, I have seen a lot worse do alright. Ok, I admit that it doesn't get me balancing my dinner on my lap but it's hardly panic stations
