I even think we could do it next season given a summer window that's actually worthy of title ambitions.We have a good enough 18 but you need at least 21 quality players these days. Our biggest problem is with a few injuries we don't have the same quality replacements coming in. The injury to Wanyama has been a big one for example. We have Dier to fill in but he's being over played particularly because he also covers at the back. Lamela and Rose missed a lot of action too.
We're getting there though. I think we need to rotate a bit better in certain positions but we don't have the right players to come in. Lamela will help us rotate in the attacking positions. I still think we could do with one more attacking midfielder. Llorente is also a good short term backup but a young prospect that we can rely on up front. Maybe another experienced centre back.
I think we have to assume we're going to pick up a few injuries so we need a strong 18 man squad when players are injured. Not only if everyone is fit. A few key signings in the next 2 windows and we could be there.
