who are our purples now?

[Jammy89]

Pardew used to have his purples....


sir Bobby had his blue chip players.....


who are ours now?

Ritchie
Lejeune (i think he was bought for first team starter)
Clark
Lascelles (For attitude rather than first team spot)
Shelvey
Gayle (although 50/50 on this one since were prepared to sell)

Good thread.

Mind, when you sit down and think about it...there's a glaring gap up front given that Rafa doesn't rate Mitro but was worried enough about Gayle to put Mitro on the bench ahead of him. Begs the question 'do we really have a blue chip striker'?

Lejeune
Clark
Merino
Ritchie
Shelvey

And that is one thing we do need. An automatic Blue Chip Striker.

that list says it all.... you NEED a good spine to your team. full backs and wingers can be rotated.

we have no definite 1st choice goalkeeper and no 1st choice striker!
