Our squad is fine, when EVERYONE IS FIT.
At the moment, we have our injury problems and sadly our best players decided to go an extra week at the World Cup (I know, right? Shameful). It's not ideal.
I imagine most of them will play against Newcastle though. At worst, Amos MAY have to play alongside Eriksen and Dier in central midfield. With the best striker in the league ahead of him and one of the best goalkeepers and defenders in the league behind him.
When did I say we don't need to spend?
You'd love for us to lose on the opening day wouldn't you? Just to say "I told you so" to everyone who has been comfortable up to this point.
think other clubs would take then, but we would have to pay their wagesWhat if no one wants them?
Why would I want us to lose ? I want our club and levy to show a bit of bloody ambition for once. Going into the season with 6 days to go and not making 1 single reinforcement is shambolic. Even more so, with the fact that our World Cup boys might not be fully ready come Newcastle. But it's ok, it's just 1 game ain't it? It's an utter shambles, no matter how you try and sugar coat it.

It's very possible that no one wants them because we're pricing them too high. As any house seller knows, if you can't sell your gaff you drop the price. Unless an asset is toxic it can always be soldWhat if no one wants them?

Who else remembers when ths site was 'love the shirt' win lose or draw whether it was the U18, U23, Ladies or the first team?
Half the posters on here these days are a fucking embarrassment to the club.
My house? Sorry, no, but if youre in the area theres an upstairs room for youOn loan?
Quite the philosophical question that...Why did we even agree to play this game? It literally serves zero purpose.
