Winks, Dewsbury-Hall, Perreira, Doyle, Justin, vardy will all be extremely good players at this level as will Ihenacho - could be a good time to play them but they’ll more than likely be in the top 2 come the end of the season
That would make us more comfortable 2bh - splashing 20m in a transfer window and going into the season with the fanbase largely optimistic (including @Matt smith ) doesn’t sit well with me
As an add on to this - I love the “not a real rival” remember when we could have drew them in the FA Cup 5th round a few years back and they had a 6 page forum thread as to why they wanted to play us
Van Ewijk might qualify as I’m pretty sure he gets points for being in the Dutch top flight. Remember - that Rente would have qualified if his team weren’t relegated
You can’t base your career on a potential injury though - if you back yourself you can do it. And let’s face it if he does his ACL we’d still offer him a 1 year extension then. As we did with Jodi Jones, Sunderland did with Willis
