I think I did.
I was already half celebrating going up
as Champions. Formulating Prem squads.
Off loading Bamford, Wober, and Harrison.
Figuring out who would replace Farke
at Christmas. And planning parade route.
Tad premature? Look at the table:
1 LUFC PTS 76
PL 35 W 22 D 10 L 3
GF 72 GA 22 GD 50
(Untouchable GD)
2 Sheff U PTS 73*
PL 35 W 23 D 6 L 6
GF 50 GA 27 GD 23
(* 2 PT Deduction)
3 Burnley PTS 71
PL 35 W 19 D 14 L 2
GF 45 GA 10 GD 35
(Best defensive record)
We have a 3 point lead on Sheff U. That's
one win. Could easily flip flop places again.
We have an 8 point gap to Burnley. Seems
huge until you factor in they have a game
in hand. And now they don't have to faff
around with the FA Cup. Plus, they're starting
to score in the league.
Yes, I think we have the best team. And
yes, I think we play great football. But,
PRESSURE. I think maybe we all got out the
celebration blocks ahead of the gun. Still
a long way to go. With plenty of drama and
twists along the way. Or at the least, too
close for comfort.
3 horse race all the way to May?
Did We Jump The Gun?

Batty,
Let’s take CF where you have listed Piroe as our option for next season, would you prefer to spend £30m on one additional CF or £15m each on 2?

Liverpool have a smaller squad than all 3 of the sides you decided to compare. How does that work then?

You only allowed 25 players in a squad for the prem plus u21 players
Wolves for example have 22 players registered for the premier League, plus the U21s which dont count
Skum only have 19, yes a few of the u21, you deffo class, has first teamers, but you catch my drift.

I'd prefer the club hit on a solid, Prem level striker.
Too many misses last time round under Orta.
As much as I liked Rodrigo, 30 mill on him was poor.

I'll rephrase things to match the Prem rules:
We can't go into the Prem with a small squad.
We don't have the resources of a Liverpool or City
or Chelsea. And we can't afford to lose players
to injury along the way, and not have some level
of built-in back up plan.
Looks like we'll get away with it this season.
We won't in the Prem.

I think it's safe to assume that we would like the signings the club make to be good and that we don't have many misses.

I'd like to buy good players. Price doesn't mean quality, just look at Man utd the last decade or so.
You only get one first chance to get the team good enough not to get relegated. We probably wont finish 9th next year so well be hanging in the bottom half, which is fine.
Two years from now i'd like to be competing for top ten. So the 49ers or whoever our owners will be have a lot of work to do.

Do Chelsea really only have a squad of 25 players?
Seems like at least double that.

Don't think the Premier league check their top 6 as much as they should, and if/when they do not a lot happens!..
The Premier league is already what Trump wants America to be!..

Actually only registered 20 players, over age of 21.

Obviously quite a few u21 players are top class too, but why do you think champ clubs, have to wait till end of transfer windows ? They waiting too see who are available because they havent been registered.
