Maddisons now out for a few months, Udogie and Romero out for a bit, City coming up. Ultimately I don’t think they have the squad depth to keep the charge going.
But sure they undoubtedly had a good run but I guess people were right, City are inevitable…
I’m surprised there was anyone who thought we actually had a title challenge. Including some people within our fanbase.
We were 8th last year. We lost (well, sold) our best player, a legend and one of the absolute best strikers/players in the world. Yes, we did sign a known good in Maddison and it turns out both Vicario and van de Ven are great signings as well. We also know that there is talent in the team (like Sarr, Bissouma), but realistically beating our last year’s result (an improvement) would be… well, an improvement.
I do think that top 4 is a realistic, worthwhile and very difficult goal for this season.
