No it's not 'definitely', that is very much up for debate. People outside of here wouldn't say so. Who are all our players clubs would be desperate to have? I'd say Kulu and beyond that I'm really struggling. We have plenty of young players with potential to be really good. But tell me all those players who you can put your hat on to put on a performance? Here is arguably our strongest team:

Vicario - really good shot stopper but not reliable at other elements
Porro - great technique, defensively not good
VDV - Defensively suspect but of course has pace
Romero - Best defender which says it all as you have no idea what type of performance he will put in
Spence - Has been great
Bents - Just not the same player anymore
Kulu - Can rely on him
Bergvall - potentially really good
Son - Please put him out of his misery
Solanke - Like his all round game and works hard
Odobert - potential

And this is our strongest team FFS, it's pretty average. Of course we shouldn't be as low as we are but it is not definitely top 5, especially when you consider decent sides who don't have European football to contend with and that is definitely a factor.....

I would say we have an average squad. If they were all for sale only Bergvall, Romero,Spence and maybe Gray would attract interest from better teams than us. Romero is very overrated but would be a star in a slower league.

Romero for all his faults is being made into a pantomime villain, came here, was in PL the team of the year first year, yes we can question his injuries and his commitment (I would sell him for a healthy profit) and yes he has been less than convincing lately (but who hasn't) but he goes somewhere better and wins stuff and then we cry we can't have good players. He is a very good player

My thoughts as well, and i really hope we see him in our shirt next season.

Its also a changing game, literally no CB in the league bar 6 I can name, can really defend in the sense of the old school defenders. The lads literally won the lot at international level, was Serie A defender of the year, PL team of the year first year or something of the like. He isn't overrated, in fact given people love to stick it to him I would say the opposite.
 
Where we should be IMO with the squad: between 5th and 9th depending on variables which also include the seasons Chelsea, Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Villa, Man Utd etc are having. And whether there is a Leicester/Nottingham Forest/Brighton style challenge from the pack.

I think there is a clause that gives Levy the right to sack without paying the rest of his contract if he misses European qualification. The day we no longer can get Europa that day Ange will get the sack.

If that is correct he might be here until May. I think there is a possibility Europe might go down to 9th or 10th. Right now we are only 11pts off that (Not that I think we have any remote chance of closing the gap).
On that basis I would say he gets the chop with 4 games left, although something tells me, rightly or wrongly, he goes around 1st June

There is a clause for a 4th season. That could have certain triggers as well.

It's also nonsense that levy wouldn't pay to bin if he wanted to

He wants a s capegoat who isn’t him at the moment. That’s Ange’s main function for him until season’s end. The fact that it will save him money too is a very happy by-product.

I think it's more than that , Munn will be the one that will push if he should stay or guy, this is Munns first appointment and it's been so bad he needs to be questioned.

He can get one wrong, needs to get the next one right. Doesn't have to be a world beater but getting us into Europa is a minimum.

I'd argue challenging for the Europa. I can accept not quite making it but at a minimum we should at least be in the fight for a European place via the league. Anything less is absolute failure.
 
Our players are good. We've bought some of the best players from other clubs that were smaller.
Romero, udogie, kulu were either in serie a team of the year or won young player.
Sarr, afcon young player winner.
Richarlison evertons best. Maddison. Johnson. Solanke.
Vicario considered the next big thing.

They are not bad payers.

Are they world class? Nope.

Could we have got better? Yes.

Are they better than the majority of players in the prem? Yes.

Shoud we be higher in the league with this squad? Yes.

I really like Mick McCarthy. The clip where he emerges from the tunnel and gets spooked by asbolutely nothing cracks me up everytime I see it.

That clip above though, that is proper giving it to your own fans
