Grimes would be replaced. It would be the most important position in the team to recruit for. Sunderland have done it well buying Xhaka.
I suppose that is true but Grimes has the capability to play in the prem imo, and I think we’d go for more of a double pivot with a quality 6 next to him meaning MvE isnt limited and can continue contributing to our attack as we’d need an extra man back as you’re more likely to get punished in the PL

He's not getting any younger. Id suspect we would go with a real proven calibre captain on their way down in their career.

I loved Kelly in L1 & L2, she Championship was beyond him really. Similarly I love Grimes for where we are, but hes not a PL player.

I think he has the ability and we will see next year ;).

If we went up the only players capable of starting are Rudi, Wright, Grimes, MvE and probably not all 4 will be starters as well.
Dovin could potentially if he comes back in the vein of form he was in prior to his injury, Tats, EMC and Torp would be good squad players. 100% 2 new CBs, a LB, CM, LW and RW would be needed for the starting 11 and potentially another GK, CM and ST to add to it, thats not even thinking about the squad players I make that 6 to 9 new starting players we’d need
Woolf has premier league experience. Even if that experience was getting relegated. Its still more than any other player in our squad right now. I can see him getting in the starting 11 sooner rather than later, and he'll make that position his own.

JDS, love him, a great player. EPL unlikely but you never know.
However, Saturday will be a massive test for him and I worry it will be back to all the shit he gets on here if he is less than perfect against probably the best right winger in the Championship.
In advance remember, even Stuart Pearce was taken to the cleaners on occasion.

I think Dovins achilles heel is he doesn't really come to collect crosses so I doubt if he would be a starter in the prem at this point, in the prem you definitely need goalkeepers to collect the ball and relieve pressure

I don't think that's true.

He played a big part in our first season back up, and dragged us over the line in the first playoff season.

He wasn't a top-end championship player, but he could certainly perform at that level. He's still one of the best midfielders we've had in recent times for protecting the defence, and that's gold in a weaker team.

I'm really starting to think it's more than a calf pproblem. If its his shoulder he'll be out for a long time. Has he been seen around?

He appears to be experiencing some kind of hooves-related madness, possibly BSE


Jacket way too short, beanie nicked from Paul Whitehouse, glasses out when it was raining and shoes that look like hoofs........Rudis fashion is worse then COH 😂

He has clearly paid an awful lot of money to end up looking like a cloven gnome.
The Margiela's are straight balling.

Most want him in stone island jumper with a CP jacket, flat cap, levi 501's and some battered adidas Gazelles.

Hoping the outfit was a joke. Each thing looks sh*t on its own. Looks worse put together. #kingout #shfwf

The Jeans are fine, it's the tucked in top and too short jacket that don't work

There's a fair few folk at the matches who could do with looser fits for their jeans.
