Zatman Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Sunderland, Leicester, Bournemouth What makes you think Norwich will stop up? Surprise element like they had under Lambert? Their squad is stocked full of players too good for the championship but not good enough for the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 We'll be that bad this season we'll finish in all three relegation places. If I was asked 24hrs ago, I'd have gone with 18. Watford 19. Leicester 20. Bournemouth But now, as it currently stands, we could easily end up dropping down a league. Hoping we employ suitable players for those leaving or have left.

Arj Guy Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) West Ham have far too much quality to go down imo. As for us we finished 17th last season and have now sold one of our best players and captain. Next week our only real goalscorer will leave. The season starts in 3 weeks and we have a net spend of £1 million. I can't see us spending more than £32.5 million after Benteke leaves either. 18. Villa 19. Norwich 20. Bournemouth Edited July 18, 2015 by Arj Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 West Ham might have quality but if they are travelling around Eastern Europe every few weeks it could damage them. Everton is a better team and they struggled nearly all last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Bournemouth will be ok. I fear for us with our two best players gone, or going and no buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arj Guy Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 depends how far West Ham go in the Europa League. Worst I can see for them would maybe be a bit of a relegation scrap but surely they won't go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Sunderland, Norwich and Leicester for me but it's too early to predict. You need to wait until the transfer window closes really. Ranieri to be the first manager sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 A lot of weak teams IMO. To deal with the obvious, we're shite and we'll be right down there in amongst it. We've lost Benteke, Delph, Cleverley and Vlaar, we've replaced two of those with players who may well not be better, sorted out our left back problem (hopefully) and have little to nothing up front. We need to splash the cash enormously to avoid trouble, and I don't think we will. However, this is 'other football', so . . . Albion will be fine. Pulis has this stuff cracked. Leicester have made what appears to be a bad managerial appointment, few moves in the transfer market and were dreadful for 85% of last season, so I think they're the most likely of those that stayed up, ourselves excepted. Watford have made a bunch of very solid signings, Holebas, Behrami etc, and they look very solid up front with Deeney, Ighalo and Vydra, but their problem looks to be that they may well get absolutely tanked on several occasions, don't seem to have much at the back. If they're lucky they'll fire their way to safety in the same manner we did in 12/13. Bournemouth and Norwich look weak, and don't seem to have done much. Norwich have barely bought anyone, and Bournemouth seem to have bought some rubbish like Boruc and Distin which surely won't help them much. Could see both of them going down. Sunderland, Newcastle etc will all be okay. Annoyingly. Even more infuriatingly, West Ham will probably finish in the top half, which will actually make me sick. If I have to predict: 18) Leicester 19) Bournemouth 20) Norwich But ourselves and Watford will be seriously struggling IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Bournemouth were by far the best side in the championship though and already have a decent squad. I think they will do the best out of the promoted clubs, they play the best football and nobody is going to like going to Dean Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
