In the Premier League, sure I agree, most aren't good enough, but the vast majority of them are good for what we need this season in a weaker league. Will Still has confirmed he agrees in recent interviews. With Quarshie and Downs added, we won't need many more to have a good go for automatic promotion. It then comes down to replacing any major players if they leave. Specifically Fernandes, Dibling and Ramsdale.

He is worth keeping for next season as he is prolific in the Championship. Would need to be sold if promoted as he isn't good enough for the PL.

He was playing out wide in the majority of games in 2023/24, with defensive responsibilities supporting the fullback in deep positions. That is not the role of a striker.

Top scorer for the best team in 2.Bundesliga last season is not nothing. He scored vs Bayer Leverkusen last season. I doubt he'd find Oxford United's defence daunting in comparison.

In the Premier League it would be weak, but not in the Championship.

The manager decides the structure of the squad, what fitness levels are required, recruitment, the tactic etc etc. To sack a manager in late June and not have one in place for the first week of pre-season is clearly not "obviously trying to get in the best shape as possible" as you claimed. What reason have they got for sacking their manager in late June and not having plans in place for the new season? It can't be PSR as they did it before 30th June! Just comes across as a mess and not organised or prepared at all!

If that were true... they'd have a manager in place for the start of preseason... which they don't.

He isn't currently comparable in quality because Che Adams has shown he is capable of scoring 9 league goals a season in two top 5 European Leagues. Archer hasn't yet shown he can score a reasonable amount at that higher level.

Because as shit as we were last season, Glasgow Rangers is a step down in income, budget and squad quality from us.

Not currently. As Che Adams has had 9 league goal seasons in both Serie A and the Premier League. Archer doesn't currently look to be capable of doing that if he was playing in those leagues. His record of 18 goals in 40 Championship games is however promising given that is where he'll be playing next season.

It won't because we are talking about the squad as it is on 5th July, a long time before the window has closed.

The current squad is packed full of proven top Championship-level players. Beyond Ipswich, Leicester and Sheff Utd, the other clubs in the league are a long way below our current squad quality. Let alone thinking we'd come 10th with the current players!
