We don't have Lodi. We don't have Navas and we don't have Henderson so try and get behind the players we do have
I am behind them obviously just speaking objectively about the quality of our first 11. Or would you rather I wasn’t objective and just said we are better when I don’t think we are?

Our team had Lodi and Navas/Henderson and still struggled to stay up. Our 11 has got worse I fear the club and fans are being far to blasé about this.

Massively depends which 11 it is. Squad depth is improved so the options from the bench are better and for injuries.

Squad depth is better but what good is that if your actual quality of your side has decreased? We struggled last season with Lodi available all year and having Henderson or Navas. If Murillo is better than Worrall than at least that is an improvement but I am not sure on that one yet.

Meh, it’ll be ‘reet.
Problem was the performances against Sheff U and Burnley were so abject that I dont think we may have improved from last season. Arsenal and United were better shows than last year but we arent picking any points up and still making braindead mistakes. Lets see where we are after 10 games before we can say we are gonna be reet.

Never fall in love with a loan player.
Although I don't think with Montiel and Andrey Santos I will this year.

Going to miss Lodi and Henderson like I missed Spence, Garner and Davis tbh.

Sorry my initial reply was just a joke.

My real reply is that we have Montiel and Aina to replace Lodi and a goalkeeper plus another incoming that are pretty much on par with Henderson. The Greek lad could be brilliant for all we know.

As for having a worse remaining 9, that’s just not correct at all. As it stands we have multiple ways to structure an XI that are better than our best XI from last season.

Also, just watch what happens tomorrow as it’s going to blow your socks off I reckon!

Montiel is a right back and Aina is not better than Lodi. The Greek lad in fairness has played 150 times for Benfica so you may have a point with that one. Is Montiel better than Aurier?

We could play a 4-2-3-1 and drop Yates and Worrall and that would make it more progressive and on par probably last season providing we keep Brennan of course.

Morpeth I do agree if signings come off we could have a much better 11 than last season but that is IF. We have dragged our feet with transfers so much already this season.

Vlad

Montiel
Niakhate
Felipe
Tavares/Aina

Sangare
Danillo

Johnson
MGW
Elanga

That could be better than last year and wed have depth from the bench as well with yates, Murillo, Wood, Bathsuayi, CHO however signings need to come off.

I mention Montiel only so you didn’t say Aina is going to play right back. Aina is good and probably better than Lodi going forward.

To say that we are worse is just wrong.

I said our starting 11 is worse? At this current moment I cant fathom or comprehend why we arent? What position has improved in the starting 11 from last season? I accept the squad is better. I also may accept we arent worse after all the signings come in.

First XI is arguable.

Turner, Santos, Aina, Murillo, Montiel are some good players who may be better than what we had.

If you’re going to whine on though a day before the window actually closes then it’s not really a serious discussion anyway.

Turner and Aina are not arguable. Montiel could be better than aurier. Santos could be better than Yates and not sure Murillo is better than Felipe and Niakhate. However my opinion could change tomorrow I agree as it all depends who we sign. If we lose Johnson though that’s a serious setback.

Turner and Aina ARE arguable and losing Johnson is also arguable if we replace with an all round better team/squad.

We are just going to have to disagree on Turner and Aina. You are correct though if we get all the players we are linked with than this conversation will not matter.

I wonder if Henderson's wages were the issue. I'm guessing we wouldn't pay the 5m a year he was on previously.

£15m plus add-ons seems like decent value.

I wonder if we offered that earlier in the summer, or just faffed about making loan offers.
