I'm still happy with 17th. Our first team is much better than the sum of its parts but our squad is vastly inferior (on paper) to almost every other team. We've seen the difference between a fit, on form and buzzing first team and one with a few injuries and with players off form. I'm not convinced many of our first team would find a home in another Premier League team.
I'm happy with 17th, but I think you do a disservice to some of our players. I think a number of them would be challenging for first teams were they elsewhere.
Nevertheless, we're clearly a bottom tier Premier League club in terms of budget. We should be delighted to avoid relegation and build incrementally. Long term who knows where we can end up, but right now we're in the bottom couple when it comes to ability to spend.
