Predicting Starting XI

[marty mcfly]

So how many signings do you think we'll get over the summer?

I think we need a lot more than we'll get, but I'd suspect we'll have perhaps 4 or 5 in total, including Cleverley. Some of these will be after the season starts (eg on the last day of the window), so we may sart the season with only a few additions to last season's squad. Given we've lost Distin, Alcaraz, Lennon and Atsu, that's still a paper thin squad. The loss of European football means we might get away with that, but it shouldn't deflect from our squad being very small and in need of numbers.

I've said for years we need at least 8 additions to put us in a stronger position to challenge, and cope with extra games. Instead we get 4-5 most summer's, which to me still leaves us lightweight.

Not worried about quantity. It's quality that I'm looking for.

[Enzouk]

Howard

Coleman Stones Jags Baines

Cleverley McCarthy

Barkley

Deulofeu Mirallas
Lukaku




Interchange Barkley with a new number 10 though? Seems very solid

Any team in this thread without Barry in is just a pipedream lads.

 

[AmericaDoesTheBlues]

Barkley has to start, too much talent for the bench

 

[tadpole]

Love it that some people have already picked their team before the transfer window opens and before the start of the pre-season.

Idk. He eventually figured out Distin couldn't do it anymore. Gotta hope he realizes Barry is a rotation player at this point in his career. He can still be useful, but he doesn't have the legs anymore.
