Who makes it in the Prem? (19 Viewers)

[hill83]

Can't help but think this is a bit disrespectful

We currently have a group of players giving everything to get us promoted. They are our team for the foreseeable.

I wouldn’t say it’s disrespectful. Maybe slightly premature though. Still worth talking about.

Asante and rudoni 100% good enough. Not just as players as human beings too.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

For me only Rudoni and MvE are the level required .
All the posters putting Grimes in , he's 29/30 and not been a player a premier League side has gone after. For me he would be to lightweight in that 6 role .
We have players like Thomas and Kitching , Torp and Eccles who could step up , Simms and EMC also but it is a massive step up .
Dovin has the potential too based on last seasons form and Rushworth is a premier league keeper but he isn't ours .
Lampard would need to be ruthless in his recruitment and his releasing of players also

Lets get there 1st....... Then panic about who can and who cant after...

Slightly premature? We’re not even safe from relegation yet!

BTAs application, attitude and fitness levels could see him go a long way imo

 

[Caer Urfa]

Realistically we would have to change most of the team to stay up

As a Sunlund fan this is the correct answer, sadly. I would have loved us to have gave some of the lads that got us up a chance in the prem, but sadly the way football is nowadays that isn’t possible. The gap between the championship and premier league is huge.

Really hope you come up and we survive. Much rather see some “proper” clubs back in the top league competing.

 

[Kilclines curly mullet]

A lot of people have Rudoni as a starter, in my opinion he is nowhere near premier league quality.

For me:

Rushworth
Grimes
Torp
Wright

Think grimes is too small and too slow to play that role in the PL. I really think it’ll be one or two at absolute most and probably none of our players.

Bloody hell you're a misery sometimes

I thought the thread was about which posters we want to keep if we’re promoted and which we plan to sell off to the Lesta and Birmingham forums to be honest. Think shmmeee would do a job at a solid L1 forum, Bolton if he’s happy to relocate.

He'd have them all slitting their wrists in 2 days tops. For that reason I nominate the Birmingham forum.

You would make a very good plastic PL fan tbf

Oh sorry mate I mean

Ben Wilson would definitely be up there! If we can hold onto him lol!

 

[TomRad85]

Everyone looking at Sunderland who are something of a rare event. Leeds are actually competing pretty well too and there must be a good 5 players in that team that got promoted with them,maybe more? Cba to figure it out but that looks about right.

Would I? Season ticket holder since I was 11.

Upon promotion just don’t renew and get SkySports for a year instead.

It’s more a vibe.

Also maybe don’t start throwing insults around if you can’t handle a few flying back?

What insults?

 

[TomRad85]

I wonder if the African and Asian fans that take over all Premier League social media will find their way to the forum? Might be interesting actually, we need some fresh characters.

 

[shmmeee]

What insults?

Oh right “shmmeee should fuck off the Bolton forum” was in fact a compliment sorry. FFS man for someone who throws a fit about mental health every time someone calls you out you really should learn to wind your neck in and stop being such a smarmy prick at times. Or accept some banter back. Don’t worry tho Grendel will be up soon to give you some likes.

 

[TomRad85]

Come on let's not tear strips off each other when there's a perfectly good Sunderland fan in the thread.

This is an interesting reaction to a post about… selling posters off to other forums in the summer transfer window.

Eccles more likely to make the step up than Grimes? Wow…

 

[Flying Fokker]

I’ll take another look at this in September.

Jay Dasilva to continue this trajectory of improvement and be a Ballon D'Or winner in a couple of years time

What about BTA does he get 2nd place?

Congrats on your derby win yesterday. Now a much better team than the last one we played.

Still a massive bunch of freaks though - I know loads of you, unfortunately! Enjoy your season and hopefully we will meet again next year.

I thought the same too and had already condemned myself to a double relegation.

 

[Hobo]

Think this thread was done previously so would be interested to see if I've changed my mind on any without realising but:

Players who could start first game:
Rushworth
Dovin
MvE
Thomas
Grimes

Players who could be starters/will definitely be useful squad players:
Torp
Rudoni
Haji
EMC
Sakamoto

Players who could maybe be useful squad players:
Kitching
KKH
Wolf
JDS
Simms
BTA

Players who should probably be moved on:
Allen
Eccles
Bidwell
Brau
The rest

Haji has the potential and pace
Rudoni I think will be good enough.
MVE not sure defensively and he will be up against players with same if not more pace than him.
Eccles I think would be a useful squad player.
Wolfenden has played in Prem and Ipswich fans thought he was okay. We haven't seen enough of him as FL has stuck to a team that is winning, he needs a run of games.
Torp would need to find another level but could see him being useful in the squad..
Same with KHH has potential and the pace required.
Andrews is only 19, still needs developing but would keep.
EMC is a no for me.
I don't think Kitching is good enough for the Premier League.
Sakamoto would deserve the chance, but not sure he would cut it at that level.

Indeed. Let's just enjoy the moment and the next few months. Maybe revisit this question in the summer?

 

[stevefloyd]

I strangely think Simms is more likely to do some damage in the Prem than Wright.

Simms is a bit more of a throwback to an older era of centre forward that isn’t utilised as much in the Prem anymore.

I don’t think Wrights pace / touch wil count for as much in the Prem.

Have to agree about Wright, Gyokeres is struggling against quick powerful centre backs in the prem so cannot see Wright doing any better

 

[SBAndy]

Think that’s about what you have to spend if you want to stay up.

The flip of this is that spending that kind of money you’re likely to land on at least 1 or 2 that you could sell for a hefty profit even if relegated. Sunderland could probably get £30m each for their keeper and Mukiele if they were to go down, for example.
