How Dry should our Powder be?

Well i'd say Eze is better than Maddison and would go straight into the team. He'd also be an option off the left and hopefully see Solomon sold and Werner limited to minutes. Ones a quality player and improves the 11, the other a player trade, padding out the squad.

But that's still limiting young players' minutes, no? 😂

When Ramsey was 21 years old, he got 6 goals and 7 assists in 2,646 minutes for a pretty average Villa side in the league...

Eze was playing Championship football at that age. And at the age Ramsey is now, Eze managed 4 goals and 6 assists...

Ramsey is also an option on the left.

He's a good player who has the potential to be a really really great player. Has always been the case. And if we replace Lo Celso for him, I'd be very happy. Because that guy is a waste of space.

If however, he's one of our only attacking signings, I will be disappointed. Though I don't believe that to be the case.

Just like I don't believe the story in the first place.

Ultimately, any signing we make going forward is going to limit a youngster in some way. We had a promising player like Donley, Devine ... We still signed Bergvall. We have Lankshear, Veliz etc yet we're still trying to sign a striker..

It's down to those youngsters to improve and prove themselves.
 
I mean, the story really seems to have taken off now.

On paper:

>replace a non-HG player with a HG one
>28 year old out, 23 year old in
>Lo Celso basically permacrocked/not fancied for us and Ramsey might see some minutes

Can't complain, really.
Exactly. Looks a good deal and in line with our policy.

We have a fantastic crop of youth which should set us up for years to come and we’re adding more good, young (and English) players

And people are still complaining

We need first team players and then the youngsters can become the squad players. What good does buying squad players do to them? Its just pointless fiddling around on the peripharies.

He did look a good player but injuries look like they've taken their toll in the last season or two. He isnt the worst, he has some ability and he might get some form back again but it all just feels like a waste of time and resources.
