Would bite your hand off if you offered me 17th right now. People may laugh at that but listen to what Purslow said about our wage restrictions. The main thing is to stay in the league for the next couple of seasons. We can then start competing and offer average Premier League wages. This will be a slow rebuild. Finishing 12th with this squad would be overachieving. Who do you see getting relegated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Fulham, West Brom, West Ham to go. Not in any order. I think it's going to be very tight this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would bite your hand off if you offered me 17th right now. It's not delusional. It's optimistic, my personal target for Villa this season is 45 points. That's 3 wins above relegation. That could mean 12th, that could mean 15th. But it's not delusional to hope for an improvement on last season, in fact it's a sensible thing to do rather than aiming to stand still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 It’s too early to predict the Premier League placings, with the transfer window still open so much can change. But let’s give it a go anyway.

Villastine Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Think Newcastle have had a relatively successfull transfer window. Wilson and Frazer should be ready to go and with Saint Maxim and Almiron, Newcastle have enough to create a pretty dangerous front line. I think they'll be safe, whether Bruce survives the season or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Fulham look decent going forward and pressing from the front. That Odoi-Ream back line is truly awful though. First time they have to do anything defensively and . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, nothing wrong or out of the ordinary to hope for a mid table finish. I don’t think the owners would be pleased with scraping survival for a second year after the outlay on transfer fees over the last two Summer windows (assuming the supposed targets of Rashica and Martinez come in). In my opinion there is not that large a gap between 9th and 20th and that should not be insurmountable. I think with better luck On the injury front and with a bit more experience of playing together as a team we can hope for a steadier season at least.

OutByEaster? Posted September 12, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 12, 2020 Fulham have gone bottom of the table after 9 minutes - if they stay there it'll be some sort of record I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted September 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) What is it with Leeds and the press. Last night described as a sleeping giant of English football despite Blues spending more time in top flight than them. Today BBC said they should comfortably finish top half. They just love Leeds.

This is really odd - for me there are nine teams that are a distance apart from the rest - of the eleven teams in the lower half of the division, I reckon you can pretty much throw a blanket over the lot (including us and Leeds) the idea that one team will easily take 10th is just strange. There's a big gap between the idea of Leeds and the squad and I think ultimately that's going to make life a lot more difficult for them this season - the expectation that's being loaded onto them won't be at all helpful.

MotoMkali Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 My bottom 5 not in any particular order: Newcastle, Leeds, Brighton, Fulham, West brom. Think West ham and Crystal Palace will be in the mix as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
