If our current team and squad were in the Premier League under Sir Michael Carrick?

We would need to upgrade in every area of the pitch to even compete - look at how we did against Burnley and they dont even have a PL squad
 
We would need to get better players in nearly every position to survive. We don't have a mega rich chairman to go for the top players so we need to ensure that we can have a go but ensure the club stays financially stable too.
 
We'd have to start with a whole new back '5' and good quality no.6. that's £100m+ just in that area of the team, look at the chances we gave Blackpool on Saturday and had 70% possession, prem league strikers would be putting 2 or 3 of them away, imagine having 30/40% possession max in most games, we'd be giving away twice the number of chances. I'd imagine we would be conceding min 2/3 every week, our forward players are no way good enough to bridge that gap.
I don't envy Keiron Scott trying to plan the summer transfer window, not knowing which division we're going to be in, looking at £10/15m spend, to comfortably compete at the top of the division we're in, or spend £100/150m to try to just about survive in the division above, tough ask
don't agree with this. Lenihan, Fry, Giles and Steffen all have the potential to be PL players.
 
I'd say Fry - Leinhan - Giles - Hackney - Akpom would be still starters from the PL.
We'd need 6 starters and like 5/6 back ups like most promoted sides. With this squad we'd be relegated in 19th I'd say
 
I now think maybe I wasn't being ridiculously optimistic to think that team aren't far away from a team which could survive in the Premier League. We looked a hell of a lot more equipped for that league than them last night that's for sure.

Sheff Utd would be cannon fodder.

Realistically our team as it stands wouldn't stay up but its a moot point as we'd upgrade.
