i was wondering to myself last night, along the lines of the squad quality, whether Poch would think the squad he has now is better than the one he left behind at Soton? Sure, hes made more money himself, and maybe one could argue that our players are harder to poach than those from Soton given wages, prestige of a London club etc, but from a footballing point of view i find it hard to argue that our squad has the potential to break into the Top echelons of the PL any time soon?
Of course not. But over the next few years our squad of largely inexperienced young English players will be something to build on. Players like Kane, Alli, Dier, Son and Eriksen who are all 23 and under, and all have the potential to be World Class players who will flourish and naturally strengthen us in a number of departments.
We wont be winning the league any time soon, but I'm hoping if our new stadium coincides with all of the above players hitting their peak, it could potentially see us be an incredibly strong outfit.
