To be fair to him, it's been reliable. Some of the trash that gets thrown about, it's nice to know what is actually worth reading into.
There is obviously a bit of a middle ground where you can keep a few youngsters around the first team whilst sending some out on loan. But overall I agree, in hindsight Poch's no loans policy was very detrimental to the academy production line.
That isn't the craziest idea. So, say we have an option to buy Coutinho for £60m? He is 28. He is on £250k a week. How does that fit with our latest policy of cutting every corner we possibly can by attempting to sign players like Hojbjerg?
King has the shorter contract, but I think Wilson is the better actual striker of the 2. We already have Son, Lucas and Bergwijn capable of filling the wide roles.
King is a footballer who, IMO, came through the Moussa Sissoko Academy. Absolutely shocking player.
What happened to the biggest profit in world football - money last year? And the year before. Nothing saved in the barns for a rainy day?
