The Goon Thread - Officially Second In A One Horse Race

Seems to be what their fans expect to see next season if they're rumouredtargets come in - not a bad side that with some decent players in reserve and you'd have to say no more excuses for Arteta regarding top 4.

*Though i suspect if they sign Raphina it might mean Saka is heading to City, which slightly weakens the front 3 above by bringing in Martinelli in his place.

I think it could well be that 3rd & 4th will be a 3 way fight between us 2 and Chelsea

I genuinely think we will be at least 3rd and possibly push hard for the title.
I think they will again get 5th.

We'd need a couple more signings before we even think of a title push. We'll see how good nunez and haaland are. Although i have a suspicion liverpool won't be as good next season.

I also have a feeling Liverpool won't be as good as last year. Haaland will score, but not as many as most would expect, unless Pep drastically change the style of play, which we all know he won't.
Haaland would be amazing for us, playing quickly forward, but intricate one touch play in tight spaces isn't where he thrives. He's best when he can use his speed and power.

I am factoring in 4 more signings.
I am punting on Richarlison, Bremer, Spence and one more which will surprise us.
If we get them, along with who we have, look out.
Haaland is not a gimme, Nunez too.

Nice that we don’t need him though as we have the best in football!
Haaland could also be injury prone?

Quite a few to integrate but we have a strong core from last season so it should be okay. Only the starting back 5 and midfield might change making room for Bissouma, Perisic, and a LCB you'd imagine? And the latter (LCB) could be eased in with Davies deserving to hold the place for now.

It was only really the wing backs that needed upgrading, so as it stands there could be only be one or two to integrate if we play 3-5-2:
Lloris
Romero...Dier...Davies
Kulusevski...[3 from RB/OS/PEH/YB]...Perisic
Kane...Son​

It’s possible. The WBs would be even more attacking. I forgot about Skipp. For the first time forever, we have serious strength in depth in midfield. An area that’s been our Achilles heel for past 5 years.

Conte will have some difficult decisions in midfield. Sessengon can even stake a claim on RWB. As could Doherty and Davies.

What maybe we are missing is that Diaz type signing. Someone to add quality to our attacks.

'Want' being the operative word.

But I'll want to watch it even more after seeing the hubris and bravado get built up in the middle episodes as they revel in gaming the PL to get a NLD postponed then rid themselves of the star of the appropriately-named Red Dwarf series:

Then get up on their hind legs about taking fourf place, only to see it cruelly and deliciously snatched away.

At that point, I'll be positively craving a view of the final episode.
