With the 2 starting 11 signing we have made (providing MGW) gets done

Where do you see us placed this season? What is possible? And how far off troubling the top teams are we?

There’s so much up in the air at the moment it’s very hard to say. Think the CL will take its toll unless we bring in a bit more of quality on top of Kudus and MGW. Even so, I expect us to be competitive in most matches next season.

I think that we've got a good squad with some excellent young players who were set up to fail under Ange due to naive tactics. We became very predictable and easy to play against. That, along with injuries, heads dropping, players giving up and banking on a Europa League run was why we finished 17th.

With the right manager I think Top 4 is definitely achievable. Hopefully we continue to improve our starting XI this summer and those odds will go up.
 
Call a DM a 4 or a 6 and I’m sure Kante would be the first name on many pairs of lips. Definitely the first name I think of when talking defensive midfielders that massively effected the game.
Makalele was the biggest “this is how important an outstanding DM is”.

Madrid didn’t see him as Galactico worthy, sell and it falls apart, while Chelsea dominate.

True but the way they are now used is different. Before the obsession with high press and ball retention DM’s sat in front of the back four and their main job was protection. Now the best defensive midfielder often does the 8 role like Rice and Kante. While the 6 role is now often a playmaker from deep enabling a team to keep ball or press high. Almost like the 8 and 6 switched.

Dunno really it's hard to pin point what will happen with us next season, there's an abundance of factors to take into account, also the TW isn't closed yet for everyone so there are still players coming in and going out to really make a prediction.

I do expect us to improve massively, I expect our players to go up a level and actually compete and stay in matches though, we can be sure of that.
