Boruc

Chambers Yoshida Jos Clyne

Cork Wanyama

Ramirez Davis Reed

Gallagher

 

This assumes we lose Lovren, Fonte and Schneiderlin and don't sign any replacements. Midfield not too bad but looking very vulnerable at the back and weak attacking. Not sure when JRod is due to return but I imagine it will still be quite some considerable time.

We'll be much stronger than that come the start, but if that did happen to be the side, then we'd be relegated before Christmas..

 

A combination of not enough goals and not keeping enough out.

Shouldn't you be preparing for tonight's quarter final rather than worrying about something that will never happen?

I really don't think you can even entertain the idea of not signing any players. Worst case scenario is we can't get our top targets and have to settle for others later in the window. Nobody can guess who those players would be, but no matter what the team will be much stronger than that.

Worst case would be more like this:

Davis

Clyne Yoshida Jos Targett

Cork Wanyama

Sinclair Davis Reed

Gallagher / Mayuka

 

Assuming Ramirez, Boruc, Chambers all go too. FWIW I think we'll still have Boruc, Fonte, Chambers...

 

First match lineup:

 

Boruc

Clyne Fonte NEW NEW

Cork Wanyama

Davis NEW Ramirez

NEW

With the team above we would struggle to get a single point and would be the worst premiership side in history. I have a sneaking feeling that Koeman would have resigned by the opening game if he had to field the above side!!

 

Lets hope we can get 3 or 4 signings in within the next week as it is currently very miserable being a Saints fan

Dont forget though, Palace had a good season and played most of that with two of the worst passers in the Premier League playing as their central midfield pair - Jedinak and Dikgacoi... Wanyama and Cork make us very strong there, and who knows, maybe given a run Mayuka could grab a few goals?

Koeman more likely to go with 5 at the back, which might work well with the full backs bombing on and Chambers moved into more of a centre back position...team assuming Schneiderlin and Lovren leave...xxx new and very important signings.

 

Boruc/xxx

Clyne Chambers xxxx Fonte Targett

JWP Wanyama Cork

xxx xxx

 

with able deputies in Davis, Ramirez and anyone else we have not yet seen in full swing coming to the fore such as Reed, Gallagher and so on

Looking at how Palace did last season with the squad they had, no one should be worrying about our squad. If big Ron can get the best out of them it will be fine. It all hangs on if the squad gels and they all pick up the style quickly. Pulis transformed a Palace side that were one of the worst squads in the league up to the point of Pulis coming in. And then lok what happened with the same guys (pretty much).

We'd be very poor with Clyne at LB, a few people have got a bit carried away with his ability there. No matter how ready he is, Targett would be a better bet. I'd also like to see Chambers used in another position if not at RB, I think he could do a job at CD or in midfield. Interesting that even with losses, many people still wouldn't play JWP.
