I will be mildly surprised if we go into most games with more than one starting winger.
It's a whole different ballgame and whereas in the Championship our central 2 sometimes get outnumbered and occasionally played round, in the Premier League we could routinely be annihilated.
I would imagine we will sacrifice one winger for either a box to box central midfielder or use a deep lying holding player to cover our defence against fast breaks through the middle.
All that matters next season is staying away from the bottom three cpme May.

Completely agree, a few decent signings (2-3 in midfield/up front) will be far better and help maintain our team spirit over whole sale changes aka Palace under Holloway that had too many to even get in the 25 man squad!

Kayal and Stephens please. I'm in the camp that thinks wholesale changes are not what is required. A couple of key quality additions in the fullback and striking positions, bit I firmly believe this seasons squad should be given a crack at the PL.
If Stephens goes, which I think he will, then I'd take that bald guy from Manchester City that is on loan at Huddersfield, or Tom Cairney.

Thought we'd already got him.

totally uncalled for comment! The guy has a great brain on him and has been very impressive this season. I believe that he has the ability to step up leagues by learning the subtle differences. Oh and he has pace which is always useful...
I think Baldy is a great player and will be a great player in the PL.
WAOOW

Baldock is one player, with his pace and other attributes, who is nailed on to be part of our PL squad. He's proved the doubters wrong before, but it appears he has one more to convince.
Only concern is his injury record.

Once Goldson is fully fit can anyone see a case for Dunk playing as a defensive midfielder in a 4-3-3?

I wouldn't be surprised to see us play 4-5-1 in the PL so I think additional midfielders is vital if we decide to go down that route. I, like others, don't think whole sale changes are needed, but any additions from the following I'd be happy to brought in:
Mooy, Swift, Loftus-Cheek (loan) Cork (if Swansea go down), Sigurdsson (if Swansea go down)

Ah yes I know he played for England U21's with March.
7 goals in 30 odd apps as well not to be sniffed at.

You're a strange kind of 'supporter' - rubbishing our players before they've even had a chance to show what they can do.

Think he signed permanently for Reading last summer. Would be a good option but, as with all Championship players, would cost a lot more than real value.

Bournemouth play three at the back and press in midfield.
Duffy, Dunk, Goldson with two mobile full backs?
