Team next year if we stay up?

I think we've got a central defence good enough for a Premier League survival team. Its certainly playing a lot better than at the start of the season. I don't see it as a top ten central defence, or to qualify that, good enough for a European spot chasing team. Hooiveld is prone to mistakes, Yoshida can be a bit hit and miss. Granted they've had some good games of late but on a consistency level it doesn't do it for me, its an area I'd definitely like to see improved. If Forren does that, great. If not I'd want to see someone else; a real leader at the back.

 

Personally I think Yoshi is an absolute beast when he has confidence in the players around him. When Fox is there and/or Jos is having a bad game, he tends to make mistakes. I reckon with Clyne, Shaw and another partner more reliable than Jos he could be a decent player in a Europe aimed team. He looked decent next to Fonte a lot of the time but neither of those two are all that physical and would get pushed around by a player like Lukaku or Lambert.

Now we are safe we can revel in speculation about the very exciting signings Cortese and Pochettino are going to make in the summer.

All I know is that we won't sign more than 90% of the players already mentioned in this page.
