The lack of investment is of most concern a midfielder and a striker who play Val's way would be essential to get us home. Where are the parachute payments & Pereira money?- well I can guess & it is not in the transfer kitty
I think certain teams in the top half could pick us off, basically sides who can counter with speed and quality. But Arsenal finished 8th last season and couldn't cope with Brentford's pressing first game in.

This style has a good chance of working against maybe 12/13 sides in the Prem, mostly the bottom half sides. But I'd rather see us try this style and have a go at the top sides - even if we lose, rather than defend Pulis style against them.
