Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

Another way of looking at it is by asking how many of our best XI would get into teams we will be fighting against for midtable?

Let’s take West Ham as a random example.

Locks, Marv, Burke and Morris would likely be starters but no means guaranteed even for them.

Alfie, Eli and Gabe would be on the bench.

Clark, Pelly and Campbell may not get a sniff.

But tbh I can’t see how some of the others would challenge for a squad place for other teams and that has to influence what we do now.

Palace have had a couple of reasonable seasons but they relied heavily on loans to help them do that specifically with Gallagher.

Take the loyalty out of it and you can see we need to do more than just 3-4 signings.

Spend has to be capped so not to risk the stadium obviously but 2020 last summer gave Jones the funds to strengthen and we made two brilliant signings in Morris and Alfie but we didn’t start to gel until the signings in January, we have seen in Marvellous what an experienced PL player can bring.
