If Cardiff go up ....... another question.

Wed Apr 13, 2011 12:56 pm

If (when? ;) ) City go up how many of the current squad do you think are good enough for the Premiership (including loanees who may then be available as permanent transfers) - given survival would be first priority where would we need to strengthen?
Goalkeepers - who's good enough; who's not?
Defence - ditto
Mid-field - ditto
Strikers - ditto

What about the 'management team'?

McNaughton
Whittingham
Oli
Bellamy
Jet
Bothroyd
Chopra if he loses a few pounds

Burke as an impact sub.

Think them players could just about do a job if surrounded by quality new signings

Burker is alot better as a starting player. As seen in the last few games.

I think he is more than capable of premiership football.

McNaughton, Keinan, Whitts, Bellamy, Bothroyd.

Jury would be out over: Hudson, Heaton, Chopra, Olifinjana, Marshall, Quinn, Burke

Heaton, McNaughton, Keinan, Hudson, Whittingham, Burke, Chopra, Bothroyd, Bellamy, Olofinjana MAYBE

I think the rest are subs at best.

I'd be happy with these starting, in a unrealistic world there could be loads of improvements

Heaton

Hudson, Keinan and McNaughton. Good partnership between the first two and it could be important. Surprising there are three defenders considering our problems before Keinans arrival.

Oli (missed him more than most when he hasn't played), Whittingham, Jet

Bellamy, Bothroyd and Chopra

Need strengthening at fullback and in midfield. So they would be my transfer targets.

I'd keep Quinn, Marshall, Mcphail, Burke and maybe Black just for his versatility as squad players.

I think you only need to look at Blackpool and they have faired this season with almost the same squad.

I thought some of their players weren't good enough for the Championship and now they are regulars in the Prem.

David Vaughan for example. He being linked with a move to other Prem clubs after his contract expires!

I don't think we'll have to add too much other than to fill the gaps left by all the loanees returnng to their clubs.
