How Dry should our Powder be?

Not sure why we would loan out Alfie and donkey. Why give them minutes in pre season if not going to use them. We lose HG trained players as well. I’d rather Alfie than skipp and I’d keep donley as he is left footed and can play left midfield. Plus will we be spending money on say kwp or Edward’s to fill the HG trained quota. If we did that we would still have more deadwood to get rid off in the future. I’m sure donley is physically stronger than Edward’s anyway. If we do buy either one of them then we will be wasting money when we could use that elsewhere.
 
Needs minutes tbf

Definitely got a future here though.
Ffs again repeating myself. But how comes other teams can play their academy players yet we have to keep sending ours out on loan. Look at mainoo at manure he got his chance and took it. Think he is younger than Alfie and donley. We will only go out and drive money to replace for the HG quota. Just stupid logic and planning.

Man said Donkey
 
Yeah, of course. Like we spent 60 million cos Bayern gave us 100 million for Kane.
Like I said, the fact we spent 60 million or 65 million doesn't make him a marquee signing and is no justification for lavishing praise upon the Chairman for fuck sake.
It's the absolute bare minimum we should be expecting.
Who said he was a marquee signing Honest John Honest John ??
It's your assumption. And what's this bollocks with marquee signings anyway. More importantly is the right signing.
 
Two players with very questionable attributes, be that availability or off-field and personality problems. And both would command serious wages.

Hard pass on both.
Where has Chiesa had availability or off field/personality problems?

He played around 50 games last season, so availability isn't an issue. Off field? Nothing I can see. On field? He's described as fast, talented and hard working.

If the above are questionable attributes, I'd be fascinated to know what you think are unquestionable.

Maybe because there are players ahead of them that they are highly unlikely to displace?

We've kept Lankshear and Moore in the fold. How does that measure up to your "stupid logic and planning" assertion?

Referring to Alfie and Donley. They deserve a chance to prove themselves surely. We still have skipp who is not any better than Alfie. We go Werner for left side yet donkey could do a job there perhaps. Just thinking that we should be encouraging our own academy players. BTW Moore cannot go on loan due to age. Young Will may only be kept as cover for CF due to richi crying off all the time with some sort of mysterious injuries.

We won't be signing KWP or Edwards, we'll just name a 24 man squad instead of 25 and additionally still be able to use the likes of Moore, Hall, Abbott, Lankshear etc. who will be on List B. We're fine
