Don’t be fucking ridiculous , I missed my flight finishing it
 
This isn’t how it works. You don’t just sign a bunch of highly rated youngsters and succeed years in the future .. it’s about balance. You will hurt their development if you rush them in and many of them will not live up to potential anyway.

He’s a really disappointing option. Has done nothing to think he could adequately cover for a Maddison.
We haven’t just signed a bunch of highly rated youngsters. We have some experience in the team and that’s one reason why Palhinha was a great signing.

But clearly this squad (a Europa league trophy in the bag already) is very early in its cycle. We do have a lot of highly rated youngsters and players that might have a high ceiling.

But we dont have many top class players for the present. Romero is the stand out.

Oh please with the "europa league trophy in the bag already" like it was part of some organic growth cycle which can only go up. We finished 17th that same season, the trophy was one of those trophies dripping with context like the Di Matteo CL win, it wasn't evidence of any serious development.

Our rivals have lots of highly rated youngsters and top class players now. And are continuing to add to their list of talent. So chop fucking chop in the market, Daniel.

Romero.... hmmm.

I probably agree with all you say so whilst there must be a desire to sign more 'potentially talented' youngsters, rhe risk is who they learn from.

I would be all over Jackson, aside from the cnut club he pays for, and Grealish, mostly because they have experience. Both seem unlikely, so who?

And then a n other midfielder.

Get those 3 or 4 and whilst we won't pull up any trees, that should keep us in the ready mix.

I am certain we will bring in players. I just hope Frank asserts his thoughts. Really important I feel.

Serious question. Can you explain how it is early in its cycle. Most of this squad 3 or more seasons.
Vic Udogie, VDV are entering their 3rd seasons. Porro 4th, Romero 5th.
Bentancur 5th, Biss 4th, Sarr 4th, Kulu 5th, Johnson 3rd, Richy 4th. We've only added 2 players this summer. Its a genuine question. It feels like the window for this cycle is now.

In the latters case, experience of which bars to go to in Manchester for the cheapest grey goose .. although I assume with that contract it isn't a priority.
