[Albion] Are there any players in the teams below us that you would rather have in our first team?

If it's of any consolation I have the first post in the 'What little known gem should we sign next from the Jupiler Pro League?' thread in draft form.

You reckon Winstano will be interrailling again this Summer.
Shirley the poor fella has earned himself a flight, somewhere.

I think there are a number of players in those teams that as individuals are better than we have , not sure if many though would fit the CH way of playing and the concept of team.

Interesting, but when will we sign our first player from a PL rival who is one of their starters.

I fully expect our summer signings to come to come from Europe

Assuming Rosenior, Sidwell, Murphy and Baldock are off, they'll need to be some signings from England.

Some of those players will be relegated and won't want to play championship football! Maybe an opportunity beckons!

Our team yesterday would beat that team too many similar type big names who dont live up to their name.

Bloody hell: twice in a thread that I've agreed with you. Sturridge has plenty of talent but clear issues. Somebody else mentioned Arnautovic- good player but strikes me as having the sort of attitude that we don't want or need in our squad. I imagine Shaqiri can be a bit sulky too.

I thought Mawson was pretty hit & miss yesterday- gave the ball away in the run up to one of our goals. He's far from the finished article. I think Dunk is better than him currently.

Concur.

I’m not sure this season would have helped rebuilding his career!

He probably thought playing for Pulis would make him a better defender. Not sure what effect playing for Pards will have. Make him a better dancer perhaps?

And James McClean just for the faint sound of popping carotid arteries, as a handful of forumites slip into apoplexia

Are you suggesting that is a better team than we can muster with our own squad?

Crazy if so. I'd take Zaha, then maybe Lascelles and Shaqiri out of that as potentially better than what we have, trouble is attitudes come with it.

Sturridge :lolol:

No, I just forgot to quote the post I was replying to. Which is this:

You could easily build a really strong and competitive team with selecting one player from each of the bottom 11 clubs.

So that is what that team is. Though Butland is an upgrade on Ryan, Bertrand on Bong/Suttner, Zaha on Knocky/March and Doucoure is better than Stephens or Propper, imo.
