Not even 12 months ago Potter, Cucurella, Bissouma, Trossard and (perhaps to a lesser extent) Maupay were integral components to our success. Fast forward to today and all of them have gone but somehow we're even better for it.

I can't think of another club something remotely similar has happened to. We're genuinely f*****g brilliant. So proud to be an Albion supporter. :bloom:

The beauty of NSC. Maupay is shit and a waste of time, Potter needs sacking cos he can't organise a piss up in a brewery, Trossard is a sulking child who won't be missed by anyone. Bissouma is a lazy sod looking for a move. Only Cucurella comes out of it with any credit in the bank and he turned out to be the biggest arse of them all. No wonder things are better!

Tony Bloom taking the Premier League clubs to the cleaners window after window. You love to see it.

We're definitely doing something right.
Fingers crossed we don’t become the Saints of 2023

For now.

We could also become a club of little ambition if all we do is just keep selling our best players to the highest bidder.

There has to come a point in time where we hold onto all of our best players and get serious about finishing as high in the league as we can.

It only takes a bunch of miss hits with signings and replacements and you're back in relegation scraps.

I trust the owner and his team. I love this club.

This season our four ever - present players are all players we’ve held onto since 2010, 2013, 2017 and 2020- some would argue they’re our best players - and all with 100+PL apps. . We’ve just turned down a bid for our best young player of £55m and our World Cup winning midfielder just signed a new contract . Last season we finished in our highest ever position and this season we’ve been in/around the European slots all year. That all seems pretty serious to me…

Don’t want to be all doom and gloom but we’ve been exceptionally lucky with injuries.

Unbelievable work in generating the money we have through player sales but we surely have to have some serious recruitment in the summer to ensure we replace some of the exceptional talent we’ve lost and probably will continue to lose in the summer.

In TB we trust.

And MC and AMac could be off next season and there goes our world class midfield and a huge reason why we are playing so well.
