With a healthy squad, I think we will advance out of our group.

What do y'all think?

Until we know our group it's hard to tell. I can't wait for the draw though, that's when it'll all seem real!

For the last 6 years, the following has been true:

Spurs always make the Quarter Finals when they qualify for the Champions League, whereas Arsenal only ever make the last 16 when they qualify.

Quarter Finals it is then.







And then let's see if we can better that... (y)

Depends on the group, but we will give anyone a good match if we're on our game. It's more juggling the intensity of the PL and the CL which could be a problem.

I still think we need top quality additions in CM and CF if we were to compete well in both the CL and PL, last time in 2010-11 we were honestly rubbish in the league bar a few performances. despite finishing 5th we only won a few games by more than one goal.

We need to add to the squad to compete in both. Definitely need anther quality striker. I'd like another player who can change a game when we're struggling. A good backup for Dier as well. It's no good qualifying once and fading in he league again next year. A league that will most likely be stronger than it has been this year.

We got the better of Anderlecht, Monaco and Fiorentina this year. They were all teams of CL quality, so I'd think that if we manage to plug the obvious holes in our squad, then we'll probably have the depth to compete on all fronts.

I think we need to strengthen our squad in order to do well in the CL. We currently have 24 in the first team squad, according to the OS, and that includes Fazio, Yedlin and Pritchard. If we were to sell Fazio and Yedlin then we could sign 3 players without getting rid of any others. That said I seem to recall that Poch prefers a smaller squad. Maybe that could change after this season. I certainly hope we will at least sign a striker and DM of quality. If we do that, and get a half decent draw then I think we can get QF anything better than that would be a bonus.

I think out current strongest team can compete but may struggle in the knock out stages. If we add some serious quality that allows us to be competitive on many fronts then we can get to the quarters again. We would need to win our group to avoid the likely encounter against Barca, the Madrids, psg, bayern etc in the last 16

First 11 fully fit and in form? Yes. Squad? No.

I think we need better strength in depth, particularly in central midfield and out wide and we also need another decent striker, we have nobody that can really come off the bench and impact a game and quite frankly we are going to need that if we stand any chance of mounting another title challenge and having a respectable campaign in Europe.

We have been rather fortunate with injuries this year and Dembele has stayed fit for the most part, I would be looking at a like for like for him though as he is injury prone and also someone who could cover Dier as I don't think Mason can step in and maintain the same standard.

Also the Bulk of our team will be going to the Euros so we have to take that into account in terms of fitness.

We can win the fucking thing. On our day we can beat anyone. On an off day we can dig in and not lose

I think we're good enough to make the last 16/quarter final as the currently stands. With a few players I actually think we could challenge some of the big teams. Maybe we couldn't get past a Barcelona, but I think with a bit of improvement over the summer we could take on teams like PSG, Juve, and Dortmund.
