Who makes it in the Prem? (1 Viewer)

We have some negative fans on here. You have to question their reasons for criticism of our players that have worn Sky Blue with such distinction & no little passion this season.

50pts on the horizon at half way !
I don't get it.

Are you suggesting I'm negative?
I try my best to be positive and pragmatic at all times , I just don't see Grimes as an all time great

Joe Gomez maybe?

Would love Gomez on paper but that injury record

I want Jamie Allen to start 1 PL
game as captain, run around like a twat for 60 minutes, leave the pitch to a standing ovation and disappear off into the sunset mission accomplished.

Im not sure to be honest but would Lampard have signed him in January last year knowing there’s a chance we might go up thinking he’s not good enough for the prem, or would he have made him club captain, there’s arguments each way but its all based on opinion until the facts are confirmed

That's fair enough .
Personally see the Grimes signing as a Sheaf replacement as he was never fit . He's been incredible for us and long may it continue

Read this about Sheaf the other day on the Wrexham forum.

Remember us saying the same thing.

I think thats the only thing that makes it possible, if he had no injury issues he’d probably be a bigger figure for Liverpool

I suppose he always has stood out in a worse side, good player but we outgrew him

I never said that abt Sheaf.
Thought he was a liability mostly.

In the Prem, you need players with pace and physicality, a brilliant first touch and seem to effortlessly have space and time.
When he played for us, Hamer always seemed to have so much time to look up and pick a pass before anyone could get near him. PL teams don't fancy him at the price Sheff U want. His lifestyle might be the reason, as many claim, but he was voted the best player in the Championship last season and still no takers.
The question is, do we have any players that tick those boxes?
That said, rumours have PL teams tracking Rudoni and Haji. On form, they have the attributes, but the form of both due to injuries have been below par recently.
Look at Armstrong at Southampton who is currently top scorer in the Championship and looking class again. Couldn't cut it in the Prem.
Don't think any player in our squad is really ready for the Prem, but you can guarantee a couple will step up.
I really wouldn't try to predict who, because often it is a surprise to everyone.
