Top 6 is an improvement.
It would be an incredible achievement for the youngest squad in the PL and a new team getting to know each other.
Next year top 4, but that is a massive stretch for a team so young.
It's a long tern project whether you accept it or not.
Been trying to tell you.
I don't buy this long term project rubbish!
Auba and Laca are gone in the summer, we will then have to rebuild our front line. Can we attract players of their calibre? No!
So next season we will be starting a long term attacking project.
Our emerging talent will be getting nods from Newcastle in season 3.
We are likely to be level at mid table with them. They will be building up with big wages and we will be building for the future.
City or Liverpool will be flirting with Saka before long. He's too good for top 8.
In my view which I'm sure is right, long term projects only work when you're at the top. What is there to keep a modern player at our club at present?
World class manager? No
World class players to work with? No
Champions league? No
High wages? No
