Big man is always welcome back  :up: Seems he'll be at Fulham next year, can't wait to get his songs going again.

Keep all of our top players.
Recruit in the right places.
Added year's experience for our oyung squad.
Tick all of these and I think we could really spring a surpirse next seaosn.

If the task is to set the bar too high, I'll have a stab - win the EPL :up:

Friedel's signing is clearly intended to light a fire under Gomes' hindquarters. This could go 2 ways. Ideally, this gets Gomes to buckle down and solidify his technique, helping take him to be one of the top 5 goalkeepers in the world. Or, Gomes spirals completely out of it, and we have to move him on, but Friedel gives us 2 good years to find a suitable replacement.

As long as we're back in the top 4 next season. It's all i care to see. It's stupid hard to get Spurs on the TV here in the States when they're not playing Champs League footy.

Yea the 12 games in the Champions league were amazing but I wanna see us lift a trophy again. To win the Europa league this year would be better than losing the champions league final. I'd love to see the win a cup and to do it in Europe too.

As much as I want to see THFC lift a trophy, the Europa League is a LOT of travel and work for the players for a relatively minimal payout, especially in comparison to the CL. There is a great article about the difference in Europa League and Champions League payouts, I'll post it at the bottom. Basically, we should make a good show in Europe, but not kill ourselves, our main focus needs to be on domestic cups, and most importantly, regaining a top 4 spot and CL football.

Article on CL v. Europa Payouts:

Professional footballers should be able to play on a Thursday and a Sunday! They're not walking they're flying first class and staying in five star hotels!

We don't need to play our big guns until the later rounds of the competition, but at least show the cup and fans some respect by giving it a go.

Forget the money for now, I want glory!

Well, regardless of whether or not you think professional footballers should be able to play on a Thursday and a Sunday (and I'm inclined to agree with you), this season was clearly indicative of what happens when you fail to rotate your squad AT ALL. I firmly believe it contributed to the injuries to Modric, VDV, Gallas, and Bale, all of whom either missed significant stretches (Modric, Bale) or were nursing nagging injuries throughout the 2nd half of the season (Gallas, VDV). To expect players to play 2x in 4 days is fine every once in awhile, but to expect it week in and week out is pure lunacy with a squad as deep and talented as ours. There is no reason that Krancjar should have sat the bench as much as he did. I'm not advocating Harry play an entire 2nd squad in the Europa League. Just that if we're hosting Chelski on the weekend, I wouldn't mind seeing Pienaar and Rose in place of BAE and Bale for at least 45mins. Getting a top 4 spot HAS to be top priority. I'd list our competitions for next year in order of importance like so:

1)Prem
2)FA Cup
3)Europa League
4)League Cup

Gotta be Europe over the FA cup for me. That run to the last 8 a few years back was some of the best fun I've ever had. Would love a day back at Wembley though...

Anyone know if Sevilla are in the Europa league this year? Would love to get them, serious unfinished business with them after the way we were knocked our.

Sevilla finished fifth and are also in Europa League play-offs.
