What would it take to challenge for the title?

[The binman chronicles]

I think a good squad of men 4 or 5, perhaps armed with fake weapons, hit the van carrying the trophy en route to Stamford Bridge. Hopefully the show of force means we can get it without a fight.

12 penalties all in games that we are struggling in, give away a dozen pens that the ref ignores then fail at the last hurdle with a glorious slip.

Players coming of age and delivering to potential. Luck, belief and a manager who can handle pressure.

On the playing side we need a back up to Lukaku and probably a top draw centre half. We have lots of the above already. If we got all of them we are as good as anyone.

About 80 points

Complete mindset change. You have to play to win every game. We're happy to draw every away game. The games against City and Arsenal show we're not far off talent wise. The complete spineless surrender against Liverpool shows we're still miles away mentality wise.

 

[kithnou]

Three of four absolute top drawer signings and much higher level of self-belief amongst the squad.

This. And £200m wouldn't hurt.

 

[TrixyStevens]

A squad of leaders and winners

 

[4737carlin]

a decent goalie..

Well considering ours is much better then the one who won it last year it's safe to say we have that box well and truly ticked

 

[tim cahill]

We need another option up front when Rom is getting nowhere, a commanding CB (possibly 2), an in form playmaker (the most difficult and crucial bit), a bit of luck with refs, confidence and momentum.

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Challenge? Not that much imo.

Win it? A little bit more. But that little bit more is like about £100m unfortunately.

Absolutely. Smart investment gets you challenging. Big investment gets you winning.

No it doesn't. Smart management wins.......

**And smart management.

Every great team has a strong spine- I genuinely think our central midfield is as good as any in the league, Rom is being more consistent- that leaves centre half and goal keeper.

Add a bit of flair from the wings and we could be up there.

Probably about 5 top players in my opinion.

GK, CB, CB, ACM, ST

Not quite sure we will play wingers ever again yano.

Defo not this season.

If Chelsea, Utd, city, spurs and RS all get doct ten point. We may possibly be able to challenge. Maybe....
