[Albion] Our ‘new target’

[BevBHA]

De Zerbi said at his press conference about a ‘new target’ after Fati signed for us.

This HAS to be Champions League. We absolutely can finish in the top 5 this year. And if we can do it we’ll keep all our star boys next summer.

Spot on - up until "we’ll keep all our star boys next summer." No we won't; they'll want to move up to bigger (that's 'bigger', not 'better' BTW) clubs and their agents will want them to move up to treble their wages.
Some will go down the route of, 'Yes, I'll stay for a couple of seasons to repay what the Albion have done for me in developing my career and making me into a multi £million transfer fee player." Others, more influenced by greedy agents or starving siblings wanting a house and a car as well as pudding will go down the "We want the big money move and we want it now! - one more season? No, f*** that!" route.

C'est la vie.

Sadly I suspect not that simple. In terms of revenue I believe we’re still lower half of the table.

I don’t like it, but I’ll have to go along with it. This is the reality.

Live in the moment and stop stressing about selling players in the future.

We'll have some more stars lined up by then as well...

 

[Weststander]

Take each game as they come.

In the medium term, no ceilings.

That’s that then. Obviously really going for the Sussex Senior Cup this year.

Wouldn't mind the EFL Trophy myself!

RDZ target is to win every game, though suspect his main target this season is top 4 and win a trophy

Exactly this. He’s an ambitious perfectionist rather than a Geography teacher from Solihull.

Top 5 gets champions league this season?

Yes

We'd be top half in revenue if the club could manage to keep enough men's shirts in stock in the online store!

Knowing how much of a perfectionist Roberto is, his target is to be challenging for the title! He'll probably believe we can finish 2nd behind Manchester City.

I believe this as well

Enjoy it while it lasts and go again.

For me it’s part of the charm, Caicedo (money aside) must be looking back thinking he should have stayed.

Didn’t miss him today at all. Gilmour was immense.

Why 2nd?

 

[Bridcutt]

Sentiment on this board changes so much game to game haha

I’m starting to believe this as well

Half to half, more like. Or even goal to goal!
