When has he ever played Left Back??
Don't think he has, has he? He's been on the right a few times.

I think we have two advantages next season: 1. Not being in Europe, we don't need a huge squad to compete and 2. The Sky 4 are all showing signs of weakness/instability.
However, and it's a big however, no-one should underestimate how far the Sky 4 are ahead of the pack. To close that gap and finish on top, all in one season, would be an incredible achievement, even if we could get hold of 6 or 7 of the world's top players.
I don't think it can be done. If it happens, Hughes will deserve a knighthood, a huge statue outside COMS made of gold, and to be an eternal legend.

I don't think anybody is seriously suggesting we'll win the 09/10 Prem. That's just foolish talk. However, a good cup run and a top 5 would be acceptable.
It'll be a year or two before we're even remotely close to winning the title. As for winning the CL, within 3 or 4 years maybe.

I agree the squad we have now with everyone fit should easily be able to finish in the top 6!

I'd be happy with top 6 and a decent cup run. But if we get off to a good start and the players gel we could scrape top 4, which would be a fantastic achievement.

just dont see the defence being tight enough, thats gonna be our problem although barcelona won their league and cl even with a shit defence, does anyone else think we could do with another quality midfielder pushing for a place, think elano and petrov s days are over, maybe bentley?
