Let's assume that we retain our entire squad next season, then (using the same assumption) there will be at least two better teams in the league than us (whoever goes down with us). I also think that there are teams in the championship right now who are better than us (Hull, Burnley and Middlesbrough). There's really no situation where we 'should' go up without us spending a lot of money strengthening. Our squad right now is utter, utter shite and not, even by championship standards, good enough to go right back up. But that's what I meant. We SHOULD come up because we have a few decent players, and if we added a spine of decent players in the summer then we'd have a good championship squad. That's what I meant by we should come up. Not that we'd only play this exact squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but that should not be too costly I would guess (other than for us?). As I said a move to us would be a step up and it would give him an opportunity to develop by playing first team games but I suspect he may well get a PL club come in for him that offers him more money to be their number two keeper. The ball would then be in his court should we want to spend money on bringing in a keeper rather than making do with what we already have which is most likely the way we will choose to go.

VillaChris Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 We'll try again for the Croatian keeper, didn't Garde say as much. He might've played some games for the national team by then which was the main problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of contract as not signed new deal and wants move bigger club. I like Bentley as his shot stopping and positioning seem pretty decent, but I do have a few concerns. He doesn't seem to catch the ball all that often and he pushes the ball into less convincing places. On a free he'd be mad to not go for. The Clough link is interesting, he's highly rated if not a bit lightweight. Looks technically able in front of goal though. Bolton need the money. I'd be looking at Jermaine Anderson because I think in the Championship he'd be brilliant. I like Rasulo too, though I can't see him being a Prem player unless fitting in a system as he's not exactly blessed with pace. I'd much rather cut the wasters loose, buy in some hungry Championship level talents and then fit in our youth players. Worked for Southampton.

You actually want your 'who's left' scenario to come true??? Well I mean, Jesus, you must be banking on one hell of a recruitment drive my friend because that squad, that's a baby seal being clubbed to death twice a week right there!
