Next Season

[ugs]

Ok so last season has gone and we've done it to death depending which way you look at it it was either Good, Ok or Poor.
 
So let's get it over and done with early and start setting the bar too high for next season. I personally would hope that we would be able to push for 4th in the League, and a cup win maybe Europa but more realistically the FA Cup. I hope we kind of scout round the League Cup as it seems to be a bit of a poison challis if you win it, because it seems to end your season in March.
 
Obviously I would really hope to win the League, FA and League Cups along with the Europa Cup but realistically top 4 and a cup will do me.

Top 4 and the FA Cup sounds good to me Ugs. If I was restricted to one wish, it would be Top 4 anyday! Once upon a time, winning the FA Cup was almost equal to winning the league in terms of bragging rights, but these days coming 4th is far better. Lets hope!

I'm seriously excited for next season, maybe more excited than I was for the season just gone. The Europa league is a top laugh and I believe we can win the thing.

4th will depend on if we bring anyone in.

A lot will depend on the comings and goings. If we hang on to our top players and add some real quality we could do very well. It's about time we won the F.A cup again and we will be up there fighting for a CL place but it will be very hard to achieve. All the usual suspects will be up there and Liverpool cant be as bad again. Should be interesting I have a feeling we will cause a few upsets, as going away to the top teams has become a bit less daunting in the last few seasons, and thats a trend I can see continuing. Now if Harry can figure out how to beat the lesser lights we may well be on to something.

Now that would be an achievement!

To be fair to 'Arry we created plenty of chances against everyone I think it's more the players need that killer instinct !!!!

For me its 4th place or higher and securing a CL spot is a must, I want to see us in that again ASAP so that will do me!



As for the Carling Cup lets use our fringe players please!

If we draw Ars*nal in the Carling, we need our top boys as you say, just because its them!

I thought I didn't care about the CC last year but seeing them lot take the piss after beating us 4-1 made me feel sick.

I agree. Bang on comment. Never again and never red!

Friedel is definately coming.......oh whoopy do. What a bloody terrible way to demsonstrate to us fans the ambitions (or lack of it) of the club

[Metalanimal]

FFS looks like Gomes is sure to go then 

Where is the f**king future ambition in that signing and the future I mean is next season let alone further!

I have mixed emotions about the Friedel signing and i'm not totally sure yet what it means for next season. On one hand, we definitely want someone younger to come in and lock up our netminding for years to come.... but as I say that, who could we get who's under 30 for a reasonable price? Man City won't sell us Shay Given (he's not even that much younger than Friedel, actually) and Foster is bound to cost 10 to 15m, for a very young keeper who's still working the kinks out. Picking up Friedel on a free might actually give us the time we need. If he can give us 2 good years, then that's plenty of time for Levy to go out and find a good young keeper, or maybe even have one come up within the organization (i have no idea who's in our academy right now who's on the way up.)

I agree with Metal, though. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gomes out the door now, and it's not exactly my top pick for first signing of the summer... but I have enough trust in Levy to give this one some time to see how it plays out.

[taimedowne]

They may well be thinking that Friedel will be a great help to the young keepers. He has loads of experience and will be an asset on the training ground. Anyway 40 is not that old for a keeper plenty of them are still playing at the top level well into there 40's. As long as he doesn't do to much bending down to pick the ball out of the net he will be fine.
