Anyone else think we are real contenders for relegation this coming season?
We brought in Woodgate which was a great buy, but we spent about £7 million on him which leaves little money for other transfers. We've just had a poor season with no European place to attract players either
Viduka is now out of contract and looks certain to join Newcastle, Yakubu is frustrated at being at Middlesbrough, Boateng and Schwarzer are getting on a bit and aren't the same players anymore, we have just sold a good young player in Parnaby to Brum, Huth will miss the start of next season etc
Add to that the likes of Euell and Lee which Southgate insists on playing and their hopes for next season don't look too good unless he completely changes his squad!
I don't think its going to be a good season for us, we will probably turn into a yo yo club again and relegation is a REAL prospect for us this coming season.
