how many players have we got who are genuine premier league quality?

​Agreeing you otherwise but Agbonlahor has one special attribute which has made his career: speed. If you are average otherwise and have something special in your locker, playing in PL ain't impossible at all.

For example Jonathan Johansson scored 14 PL goals in one season for Charlton. Agbonlahor is real talent compared to JJ, but they both are/used to be extremely fast.

​Tony Daley set the original benchmark for players who had very little about them apart from searing pace....

This team would do quite well in the Bundesliga. Bayern would still walk it tho.

Martin, Hughes, Thorne (if he ever gets fit), Russell, Dawkins

Players who might step up/surprise/do a job:

Fozzy, Keogh, Grant, Hendrick, Bryson, Christie

However, the ones who might do a job would need to in a team with better players around them. As we saw last time we went up, there's only so many one team can accommodate. For example, if in 2007 wee billy poison had signed a quality midfielder x 2, Striker (Earnshaw not quality and later said he'd wished he'd not come soon as he got here merchant banker) and centre half (clod...ffs)  we might have made a better fist of it but we just had 2-3 too many not quite players in the first half of the season - we only got humped a few times and had games we lost or drew we were not far off winning. by the time the P-star came hope was evaporating rapidly and he signed "wisely" and "motivated" the team...so well....

Mascarell would probably be OK in the Premier League , he showed that against Chelsea , probably his best performance when given space to play .
