Win the league?
Not yet not for me, we lack depth to our sqaud which will tell over the course of the season.. I think we are probably 5 players away and that will bite us at some point through Janaury-April.
The first step is CL, the revenue and kudos it brings will only help us bring in the right players we need for depth and improvements on the first team. To think that we wont have any significant injuries or loss of form over 9 months with our still thin squad is beyond optimism for me, we will need a lot of luck with those areas to finish in the top 4 against the depth and quality the others have. Arsenal for example have been consistent in that top 4 while we have been having our issues as a club and they find it difficult to sustain a 9 month challenge, theeir depth is superior to ours and if they add 2 to their squad its adding to a greater pool than us adding 2.
We have a great opportunity for me with the turn round and turmoil in the other main challengers to grab a top4 slot and if we do that and invest right we will finally be back where we belong, i firmly think we can do that, but its such a long season against 5 other sides with greater playing resourses than ours we are going to have to be very good to acheive that. The fact that the others are losing games this year is a help, id love us to win the league i just dont think we are there as yet.
