Couldnt give a fuck about League Cup. Tin pot trophy ive never seen the point of when we have the FA Cup. As for FA Cup if offeed winning it in exchange for relegation id take it. Many will disagree but to me the FA Cup has always been as prestigious as the League and always will be for me personally even if for younger people it clearly isnt.
I also think our ambitions may be a bit higher than just survival. Amenda was a real statement signing as that current Switzerland side is absolute quality and then we go and get Yeremenki (ill learn to spell his name at some point) neither of whom are players who will be looking at clubs just to survive. As for Tchaouna his quality is self evident, has pace power and a good delivery and fuck knows what Burnley were doing with him . If we sign another 3 players with their profile no way are we just trying to stay up, we are building towards something much more ambitious.
We have a massive part to play as well. Rushworth was dying to come here due to the fans passion. Hamer regretted leaving moment he left hence he kept coming back , Yeremenki specifically mentioned the fans so i assume BTA bigged us up at the world cup so the word is spreading among the pros. Nobody wants to leave...even the bit part players.
In 87 much was made of the camaradie of the players which took us to glory. Dont underestimate that brothethood spirit Robins spent 8 years building at the club that Lampard has brilliantly taken on and run with. Even if we have a shaky start (we often have done in any league the past decade) we have to keep a cauldron atmosphere home and away. No moaning if the new signings struggle early on as remember as kf today we all think the recruitment has been brilliant.
