The snag is you're only allowed to make signings from the PL and clubs outside of the top 6. Can it be done?

I'd say probably no, but hey ho bit of fun ey.Can it be done?
Good shout actually, forgot about him.Felipe Anderson - West Ham
that's the list Zaha deserves to be in. so overratedChicharito
Zaha
Evans
Barsdsley
Cleverley
MaguireThe snag is you're only allowed to make signings from the PL and clubs outside of the top 6. Can it be done?
We definitely do. If we're looking at ~2 years from now (imo the soonest we can aim for a proper title challenge as next season is for sure transition with all the changes), then De Gea, Shaw, Lindelof, Dalot, Pogba, Rashford and Martial can all stay in the first 11 (or hopefully Dalot potential wise). Just needs the right signings to compliment them. A world class CB, 2 top midfielders and a top class right winger like Sancho could well do it. But we have to get all 4 of them spot on and have everything else progress normally.Judging from most people's comments on this forum I'm not sure. My first question is, do we even have six players in our squad that can make our first XI title challengers if these five 'title worthy' signings come in?
God I've missed Evans & ClevzChicharito
Zaha
Evans
Barsdsley

I think it's possible if we buy players from abroad. As you suggest in the CB position and I did above, there isn't a CB better than Smalling/Lindelof, or at least, if people rate Maguire I don't think he is a significant enough improvement to see us finish on more points than we would with the best pair we currently have. There are also obviously far better right forward / winger type players available elsewhere as well. I don't think we can poach players from Premier League teams and expect to challenge for the title, but Wan-Bissaka, Neves, Aderweireld, Rice and Doucoure are players who I think we could get and wouldn't be opposed to us signing any of them in the Summer.We can improve and become a future title contender with this probably but not next season.
- Neves
- Wan Bissaka
- Rice
- Felipe Anderson (not super crazy about him but still an improvement at right wing)
- Who is the best all round CB in the prem outside top 6?

Like if we get a Van Dijk type impact in defence from any CB, get 2 midfielders who really know how to control games and have excellent technique, then we'll be pretty much ready to just get that missing piece in attack on the right.

It can be done. This squad has not maxed out it's potential due to poor coaching under Mourinho. Plenty of room for improvement.The snag is you're only allowed to make signings from the PL and clubs outside of the top 6. Can it be done?
Chelsea, the year after.Besides Leicester, has it ever been done where a team so far off the pace goes on to win it the season after?
Post the Jose meltdown?Chelsea, the year after.
