What an absolute joke of a thread.
Good God, are you in love with Vuskovic or something?

How many times do we build players up only for them to fall dramatically short of expectation.
It's sh!t mate, and it's fcuking pointless, because we just don't know what would happen in any such eventuality.

I won't contribute to the stupid fcuking thread until and God forbid it happens, and tbat will be after I come out of therapy.
....lots of valid points,
... and well contributed!
🤔🫢😉
 
I reckon we've already got our squad ready for the Championship ..
Current players like Danso, Kinsky, Sarr, Gray, Bergwall Richie might well stay - as Championship is more their level - the rest of the team/squad will be made up of the glut of youth players out on loan!

Most of these will probably stick around

Kinsky
Auatin +new GK
Vuskovic
Byfield
Takai
Souza
Gray
Paulinha
Gallagher
Bergwall
Abbott
Son-Min Hyeok
Maddison
Devine
Moore
Luca Williams-Barnett
Scarlett
Richie
Melia
Wilson


Whereas I imagine the likes of Romero, VDV, Simons, Solanke, Kudus & Dragusin's agent will wanna leave to play top level football....

Kulu just wants to play football again!

Vuskovic, Gray, Pahlinha, Gallagher, Bergvall, Madders, Kulu and Richie will not be playing Championship football.

1. They are on big wages. Way too big for the Championship and even if they have a relegation clause they are not spending a season earning half what they could earn.
2. Vuskovic, Gray and Bergvall are established top flight players with international aspirations. They wasting a season in the Championship.

The rest I agree with.
 
It’ll be a fire sale due to are wages and EFL rulings . We won’t hold the cards in regards to prices of players unfortunately

This video I posted the other day explains it , it’s only 20 mins long and well worth a watch

We'll most likely loan out some top earners. Xavi, Udogie, Gallagher, Kudus etc. will all be loaned out, with the idea that we come back if we get promoted.
Romero, Van De Ven, Vicario, Porro, Bissouma, Bentancur, Dragusin, Richarlison are as good as gone.
I don't think Madders will go. Kulusevski is a 50/50, as is Sarr.

We'll have something like:

Trafford (hopefully)
Spence - New CB - Vuskovic - Souza
Gray - Bergvall
Kulusevski - Maddison - Moore
Solanke

Obviously that depends on the loan structure of their wages as the list of players you have in the team is around £40m ( roughly Leicester wage bill ), but we need a squad obviously . Due to our size we we could get away with around £70-£100m in wages to build a squad &!still comply with EFL rulings . Theoretically , if relegated, we should walk the Championship as we’d be the richest club to ever be there

That said i think we’ll stay up , somehow
 
The line-up in my head is a prime ENIC years team... with additional cover in every position!
Excuse the remanicances, this probably belongs in a different thread.... I just wanted to remind myself we HAVE had quality players THIS Century... Just NOT all at the same time!

[LINEUP]Lloris
Walker King Vertonghen Rose
Dembele Modric
Son Dele Bale
Kane[/LINEUP]
2nd Team:
[LINEUP]
Robinson
Trippier Romero Alderweireld Ekotto
Wanyama
Lennon Eriksen VdVaart
Berbatov Defoe[/LINEUP]
That's some 22-man Squad...
and I still feel like I've missed a few out!

Apart from Romero, I deliberately haven't put any of this current crop .. But hopefully, the likes of Archie Gray, Bergwall, Mikey Moore and a few others will feature in the 2036 reminiscences thread when we've finally climbed our way out of non-League!!!

Agreed. It's almost like we've recruited a squad for the Championship!

Oh ... wait ...

I'd hope we can keep Kudus also

I think you need to think again on that team, as it's not getting top 5!
