If we play three at the back - which looks strong we will need a CB. A top striker a must. LB cover. A RB. Minimum. | | | |

Cover for CF and full backs? Begone with such peasant talk. We possess eleven men who pass the ball as though guided by the hand of Iniesta himself. The opposition cannot touch us. The midfield is ours, the wings are ours, and the very grass bends beneath our passing.
Three goals before the hour is half spent. Signings are for lesser kingdoms. | | | |

“’Tis pre-season” the cry of a man who hath yet to accept the truth. We require no depth. We require no signings. We require only eleven men, a football, and the unwavering belief that this Ipswich side is about to passeth the Premier League into oblivion. | | | |

In a friendly...need to look to be resilient in a hard league. | |

A CB? A striker? Full-back cover? Brother, cast thine eyes upon the scoreboard and repent.
We have ascended beyond the earthly constraints of “squad depth”. Three at the back? Nay, three at the back is merely a suggestion. The other eight shall simply circulate the ball until the opposition surrender their land and livestock.
A top striker? Unnecessary. Every player on this blessed squad is now a false nine. The goalkeeper shall occasionally drift into midfield. Our centre-backs shall overlap. Our full-backs shall score from corners. Our kit man shall be registered for Europe.
I have seen enough. The transfer window may be boarded up and the key cast into the Orwell. O’Neil hath built the 2012 Barcelona, and Barcelona hath built Ipswich Town.
We shall win the league by Christmas and spend January debating whether signing anyone would merely upset the delicate ecosystem of perfection.

You, sir, have the makings of a modern day leg end, if I may make so bold. |  |

Resilience? In this Ipswich side? My good man, resilience is what you require when you intend to concede.
We are not preparing for a hard league. We are preparing the league for us. The Championship? Premier League? UEFA coefficient? These are merely administrative categories which will soon be rendered obsolete by the sheer volume of our possession.
Three at the back shall suffice, for the ball shall never enter our half. Indeed, I am increasingly of the opinion that having a goalkeeper may constitute needless pessimism.
The opposition shall not be “beaten”. They shall be made to question whether football was ever truly their calling.
I have already ordered the engraver to begin work on the Premier League trophy. By September we shall have conquered Europe. By Christmas, UEFA shall be requesting that we stop participating on competitive-balance grounds.
And should anyone still insist upon “depth”, I shall remind them that Guardiola once had 65% possession and only eleven players on the pitch.
Wake up, brother. The revolution hath begun. [Post edited 8 Aug 16:56]

Certainly not mine! I would never stoop so low as to big up my own alt account. That way lays egomania, and probably piles. I've got it down as DaveU coming out of his shell. [Post edited 8 Aug 21:10]

Are you ready to receive my limp transfer fee? |  | | |

Afraid not, at the absolute minimum, a no 1 striker of PL quality and a progressive, passing CM. Still important, a left and right back, and a left winger. |  | | |
