If we could spend and build a squad for it I would love it.  
 

Atm we would struggle to put out a proper second string team.  The additional games would kill our league form.  
 

I would love to win it.  It’s just that it would ruin the league form imo. 

 

With everyone fit (not counting Wilson or Dubravka):

Greek guy

Trippier/Krafth - Lascelles - Burn - Kelly/Targett

Willock - Longstaff - Miley

Almiron - Osula - Barnes

 

Greek guy, Trippier and Almiron depends on the summer window, which can also change other positions.

 

Ofcourse there will allways be injuries, but we would probably rotate with a couple of starters aswell. It's not a fantastic lineup, but in that competition it doesn't need to be.

Everyone’s never always fit though. 
 

I don’t want the couple starters playing any minutes.  If we qualified this season we would be playing

 

dubs

trippier Schar burn Kelly

willock longstaff/Tonali Joelinton (and now Miley)

 

And your front 3.  That’s too many first teamers imo. 
 

One of my biggest concerns is we aren’t allowed to build a squad that can compete in Europe and the league.  For the CL or Europa you just take it but it’s BS.

I expect there to be some signings in the summer, but I agree that the lineup probably has too many league starters in it. If only we had lots of talents..

I expect we’ll need to sell to create headroom. 
 

Im a broken record but we need £30m-50m worth of dodgy deals to avoid that.
