General Chat • Quality of squad in regard to PL

Just a thought: how many of the current squad would be good enough for the PL?
Yes: Jansson, Saiz,
Maybe could adapt (or as back-up): Hernandez, Vieira, Dallas, Pennington, Cooper
Most probably couldn`t: Alioski, Roofe, Ekuban, Cibicki, O`Kane, Peacock-Farrell,
No: Lasogga, Berardi, Wiedwald, Phillips, Grot, Ayling, Shaughnessy, Sacko, Klich, Lonergan, Anita, Borthwick-Jackson

To go up even with 7 players clearly capable to adapt wouldn`t be very promissing. I just think we are still some distance away
from having a squad capable to go up AND have a chance not to come straight back down again. (This implying that 4-5 above Championship quality players would come in.)

Thoughts? Too pessimistic, too optimistic?
I think we should build for the next 2-3 years. No panic buys in January (with 3-4 year contracts), maybe taking a chance with1-2 loan signing. In summer get in 2-3 QUALITY players. We`ve enough mass, we need quality now. If we can keep hold of the best players, we should be able to challenge very seriously maybe already next season. Just can`t see it happening this year.
