[Albion] How many players do we need for promotion?

[Notters]

IF Wilson can be fully fit and stays with us for the whole season and IF our injured players come back sharpish and stay fit then I think we could potentially be ok as we are (though I'd obviously like to see a few signings). This should be obvious really as we were top for most of the first half of the season WITHOUT Knockaert and Wilson.

 

[dazzer6666]

Is it just me or are more people realizing that we need a left back back up to Bong?

Oh bloody hell we're not back to talking about a back up left back for Bong even though he's almost back ? Really get's my back up.

 

[Mattywerewolf]

Possibly a striker if not i'm happy with the squad. We don't need a left back but come the summer than yes.

This...A big name striker would increase the odds but don't think we need another left back this season. Bong with Rosenior when back and Ridgewell at the moment is fine

 

[Marshy]

1 striker

 

[glasfryn]

C/F who can get us a goal every other game
we have back up for bong in rosenior
get up then spend some money on others

Pretty much agree with this, Wilson is going to be key. We're going to need luck with injuries and hope United don't take Wilson back.

When Rosenior is back, it'll be back to basics and he will back up left back, like left back was covered back earlier in the season.

 

[el punal]

I think any team that is serious about promotion, should have a goalkeeper and at least ten outfield players. So that's a minimum of eleven.

Is the correct answer!

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Bong must be very close to being back now.

On the bench for Brentford ?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

A Glenn Murray.

That is what I dont want to see as that was the cause and start of our bad run IMHO.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

One, a striker who can guarantee us ten to twelve goals by the end of the season.

We have Knockaert, beating players, creating space, and putting telling balls into the box from the right flank, and LuaLua doing exactly the same thing from the right.

The one piece of the jigsaw that is missing for me, is a competent striker to convert those chances.

 

[supaseagull]

Jordan Rhodes and Hangeland should do it

Tony Bloom will never open his cheque book for anyone he deems to be over priced. Rhodes most definately falls into that bracket.

Although I agree, Jordan Rhodes could well score us those goals.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

I think he will be busy helping Leicester to win the premier league!
It would be nice though, you're right.

Forget Leicester, if he comes back to us he could get us promoted AND help us win the Premier League next year.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

left back for Bong even though he's almost back ? .

Is he? I thought he was out till the end of February/ early March at the earliest? And that's just when he hopes to start training.

Thats rosenior

 

[perseus]

Leicester City 2013-14

Regular players 20
Occasional 8

Albion 2015-16

Regular: 17
Occasional 11 (excluding Sidwell)

and I thought we could manage with the 25 PL squad plus U21 youngsters. 18 regulars + 7 occasionals + our only U21 players Solly March, Forster-Caskey & Wilson.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Get everyone fit and we have a good balanced squad. Anyone added now will just be an upgrade.

Even if we don't sign anyone else, I'm pretty confident we will finish in the top 2.

A new striker, who will score 10+ goals between now and the end of the season, will win us the league.

And that is why Tony should get his cheque book out...
