Yes, I admit it, I'm already thinking about it.
TeamTalk got theirs out first though. And here
it is, their predicted Prem XI with Farke in charge.
They have added a couple of players from Farke's
Gladbach days. And one massively obvious one
also from his previous stint at Norwich.
TEAM (Projected new signings all caps):
Keeper: CAOIMHIN KELLEHER (in a heartbeat for me).
RB: Bogle (Great season. Prem quality).
RCB: Rodon (Great season. Prem quality).
LCB: NICO ELVEDI (Been linked to him a while now/
played for Farke at Gladbach)
LB: KOSTAS TSIMIKAS (Liverpool/Love this player
Prem quality and experience)
DM: Ao 'Tiger' Tanaka (Great season. Prem quality).
DM: JULIAN WEIGL (Played for Farke at Gladbach/
links have emerged last month or so).
RW: Dan James (Great season. Prem quality).
10: EMI BUENDIA (Played for Farke at Norwich/
he tried to sign him in January).
LW: MANOR SOLOMON (Great season. Prem quality.
Signed from Spurs/Easy decision).
CF/9: EVAN FERGUSON (Like him but injury prone).
Four of our existing Championship side retained as starters.
One existing loan made permanent. And six new starters.
Three of which have worked with Farke before.
Love their keeper choice. Really like Tsimikas if he could
be signed. Elvedi and Weigl? Unproven in Prem.
Buendia? Maybe a few years back. Definitely would've
been useful in the Championship on loan. Chased money
and football in Germany. No for me. Ferguson? Again,
would've been useful in the Championship on loan but
Prem with his recent injury trouble? No for me.
One thing I do agree on, we have 4 maybe 5 starters
already signed and in the Champo squad Prem ready.
Plus Solomon loan converted to perm. 6 starters needed.
Agree/disagree?

Solid addition. Kelleher seems pretty unlikely though lots of competition including Chelsea.

Borja Sainz to replace Paddy (in terms of numbers/salary) seems logical. However, that still leaves us needing a No.9.

I think the Keepers sorted coming in from Germany, Don’t know his name

Oh fck, joking aside, Farke's taking us into the Prem
and he's getting his old band back together. Oh fck.

Holy hell are we signing former Liverpool and Mainz goalkeeper Loris Karius?

You’re assuming someone wants Bamford and is willing to pay his salary. Not sure about his contract but he might be back on £72k a week now we are back up. He still has a year left too.
