What’s everyone’s thoughts of players stepping up to the next level? it’s a big step! |  | | |  |

No, but nobody does when they get promoted. Leicester will have to make additions and so will we if we went up. | |

No.
No disrepect to any town players. But the level isn't anything like league 1 to championship it's a whole new ball game.
Broadhead. Chappers etc have struggled many of times during this season.. that sort of consistency won't do us any good in the prem.
Hutchinson is as close to what prem quality we will need and he's a youngster with so much more to learn.
Davis.. maybe... defensively tho? Maybe not
But.... I didn't see this side being on 90 points with 2 games to go so I'm gonna say I'm wrong anyway. |  |

No, but who does? Even Leicester would make 10 new signings.
Plenty of our squad would get a chance though and rightfully so. |  |

It's a massive step up and most of our best players will need to become our weakest players in the key positions. 7/8 very good players would need to arrive and a similar number leave imho.
Lets get there first though. |  | | |

Currently no where near but that can be sorted
We'll recruit defensively and desperately need more legs in that midfield, we'll need a PL midfielder or two with an engine next to Morsy |  |

If we can fight to the level Luton have this year, that would be a good season. | |

No.
We need 5/6 first teamers IMO.
But let’s get there then worry about it |  |

We'd probably need a Forest style overhaul, which I'd personally hate considering what these players have done for us over the past couple of seasons. [Post edited 28 Apr 12:39]

No. But the body of these players have had earned a crack at it, should the miracle occur.
The team is better than the sum of its parts. I wouldn’t change too much. I’d add a goalkeeper, a forward to replace Moore and a full back. Possibly a defensive midfielder. |  | | |

I’ll only be prepared to consider that question IF we get promoted. |  |

No, we would need to add quality, i have no idea what the budget will be like but if we could add 4/5 quality additions even if we were relegated that could be sufficient to put us in a yoyo situation at a time when norwich would deteriorate until such time as we can start to stabilise in the prem. We are on a journey to with plenty of ups and downs to come | | | |

True, but standing still wouldn’t achieve anything.
Some of these players just aren’t athletic enough for the PL | |

Of course not. We'd probably come straight back down, but we'd be 150m better off and in a stronger position |  |

Pretty much spot on. You need strong, quick athletic players in the PL. We'd also need to change our system. We can't be going toe to toe with PL sides.
But even if we did come straight back down, the parachute payments give you such an advantage. | |

I believe yes if we can convert our loans into permanent.
Optimistic maybe but these players have got us to thos point for a reason. Because they are good players. |  |

I can't see us blazing £150 million on players
I think we'll be smarter than that, we definitely need legs in midfield though | |

Obviously not. Will be a busy summer no matter what league we’re in. |  |

We need more pace on the counter along with engines in midfield I'd suggest
We will bring 2 or 3 PL defensive recruits but we really need to trade up across the squad with some canny project signings and more athleticism through out the squad | |

I wouldn’t be confident with Wolfie ,Clark,Burgess starting in the premiership for us and i’m almost positive that Mckenna would feel the same way i feel the likes of Hirst,Morsey,Burns,Hutchinson,Davis,Moore,Sarrimento could all do a job for us. | | | |

Harwood-Bellis has been linked, we'll clearly try and pick up players who can fit the style with a bit more quality
It would be great to get there and see what the plan is | |

I think most of the squad could step up in some capacity and play a part. Remember we weren't all convinced the likes of Burns would even step up to the Championship - how stupid does that seem now?
We're a team, we don't often rely on individuals (we did a bit last night!) |  |

That much overhaul would risk destroying us. Retaining the core and well seasoned team cohesion are what's got us to the brink of promotion, just as much as clever tactics, style and approach.
We will need strengthening, more in some areas than others. But a completely new squad? Not for me. |  |

I know it’s only a minute sample size, but the Stoke forward just walked straight past him for their goal yesterday.
Barely an attempt at a tackle.
Might just be indicative of the general attitude around St Mary’s though. | | | |

We should just sign some of leeds squad
Just to rub it in |  |

Davis is absolutely good enough going forward to play in the Premiership.
However defensively he's not good enough and will get ripped to pieces. I think if you are going to play him in the Premiership it needs to be probably as a wing back with three central defenders to cover for his lack of defensive ability. | |
