I did. Based on his performances against our two Premier League rivals last season (Newcastle Home & Huddersfield Away), managers of the calibre of Wagner & Benitez work him out, neutralise him and we end up losing. His positional sense will come under scrutiny and he no longer has the engine or pace to get him out of trouble.

I only had 10, so i went back and added players like Bruno and Murray etc, who while being fine ability wise, you wouldnt say no to someone with similar ability and TEN years younger, still only got to 14 though.
Interesting for me though, if we take a percentage of 85%, which i think is fair then we do definitely need some signings as this is our team at the moment.
Gk Ryan
Rb
Lb
Cb Dunk
Cb Duffy
Cm Stephens
Cm Kayal
Lm March
Rm Knockaert
Acm Gross
St Murray
If we then drop to 75% for players good enough for the bench and back up. We can include the following
Bruno, Rosenior, Sidwell and Baldock
Maybe my percentages are a bit high but our squad is looking a little thin on quality.

Reckon 7 are good enough and most are defenders...
None of our strikers will be good enough sadly and only knocky,March and Stephens will do well up the other end of the field
But most deserve a chance apart from skalak and Norwood as they're complete shite
Goner be a long long season as expected and with our front 3 I don't see many goals....Christ it's weird to think we've still got only 3 strikers just like last season as we need a good five lol

Agree with most of this especially the strikers, perhaps Murray will be ok off the bench but that's about it

17 also. Looks like I must have voted similar to you and left Skalak and Murphy out as well.

I voted for them all.Until we have seen who and how Chris plays them,nobody knows.They must be good enough for him cos they're still at the club.

8 players, which suggests I might need to increase my choice in the 'how many new players do we need to have a fighting chance to stay up' thread to more than 5 
Dunk was probably ''suspended'' when the ones who didn't vote for him voted.
I can't get over how many people voted for Solly March. I am not sure Jamie is either but loyalties got the better of me and given that there are a lot of players up there already making a living with masks on then I think benefit of doubt is justified

Pedant alert. The question is "who is good enough for the Albion's Premier League squad?", not "Who in the current Albion squad is good enough for the Premier League?" Assuming we want to do more than just survive, ie, finish at least mid-table, then I think very few of the squad are good enough to enable the club to do that, so only seven made the cut and a couple of those were generous (Murray - age, Hunemeier - still a bit of an unknown quantity against quality opposition). Bruno fails on age alone; Kayal would be a possibility if he returned to the form of the 15-16 season, but he hasn't really shown signs of doing that. I think the current squad, with a few additions and a bit of luck, could creep into 17th position. At the moment, I don't think we will survive.

First column shows number of votes cast for each player, second column shows % of voters that have voted for that player. (based on 240 voters at time of doing graph)
Current starting 11 would be
GK Ryan
RB Bruno
CB Dunk
CB Duffy
LB Rosenior
CM Stephens
CM Gross
CM Kayal
LW March
RW Knockeart
FW Murray
The thing is though that they were included in the poll.Mathew Ryan & Pascal Groß are in the top 11 we haven't seen these boys play yet albeit Ryan did play in the Confederations cup and looked okay.....
Since they were, then clearly people have to assess them differently to other players otherwise they'd get pretty much zero votes.

Fine looking side and the one I would choose from who we have.
