uberdoo 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 anyone think we will challenge top four, if honest i'd take top 7 now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I think 7th too depending on how the transfer window goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 far too early to make predictions like this before we know who is going to be sold and replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Based on where we are right now, Id think maybe 7th/8th with Chelsea & Liverpool jumping back over us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12832 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 If we were to sign who we need to sign (in terms of positional depth), I'd say Top 7 but if we have decent runs in Carling/FA/Europa, there's every chance that could slip a bit if the squad can't cope.

nortoon 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Honestly think we are a better team than liverpool, and no matter if they spend big again we will have the scouting to make sure we have a better window. 6th is my bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Before a ball was kicked I said we'd comfortably be top 7 last season, and I think we'll come 6th this season. Tottenham will not be the same next season 100%. The Chelsea players said one of the big things about AVB was he wasn't an effective communicator and alienates the bigger players early doors, their worst results in 15 seaons under him reflected this. Harry got an extra 20% out of the yids, that's not there now, rumours of Bale, VDV and Modric all leaving to play for big clubs, I think they'll 100% fall back a bit. We can come above them, we're nearly did last season with their best team in 50 years. Our team is ready made, they've played together a season, we know our strengths, we've gelled, we don't need to worry there. Liverpool do. They'll be starting from scratch, Arsenal's best player wants away, Chelsea losing Drogba will be absolutely massive, and the likes of Everton and Villa, they're getting older and they are what they are. Mid table plodders. 6th minimum for me, as long as no one major leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon_don 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I'd like to see top 7 again. Sustained European qualification, even it is only the Europa league, is going to put us back on the map for potential signings. It's just nice going into a season again knowing we've got the firepower to score against anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Assuming Simpson leaves because Debuchy comes in and Douglas joins in August, i think 6th is definitely possible, especially if we get a few more games from Saylor so Willo doesn't play as much. Definite 6th place if we sign Hoilett too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19949 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 based on the current squad, 7th or 8th would be about par i reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYD 0 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 8th-10th if we keep our main men. 6th-8th if we add quality to squad. below 10th if we sell our main men. I'll settle for top ten and a cup run, I'll settle for 4th bottom with a Cup in the trophy room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronic the Drug Wasp 6 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I think there's a fucking tremendous opportunity for us this season coming - Spurs will be in transition, Liverpool are shit and I can see Arsenal weaker again. All will depend on our ambition in the transfer market. The early signs are good with incomings, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CabayeAye Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 7th = Average, 8th = Fail, 6th = Good, 5th or higher = excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9087 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 7th = Average, 8th = Fail, 6th = Good, 5th or higher = excellent. 8th = acceptable 7th = decent 6th = grand 5th + = excellent Progress needs to be measured over several seasons, not just two or three.

We broadly agree, but personally, I see finishing below any team who aren't in the 'Big 7' as a failure. We have better players than the likes of Everton.
