How Dry should our Powder be?

Out of interest, why?

I don’t pretend to be some font of football knowledge, but I’d never heard of this kid until five days ago and now he’s a dream?

His highlights look ok. Opens his body up, quick feet, but it’s hardly astonishing.

He also looks like he weighs about five stone.

People said exactly the same thing about Gil - he was apparently the future of football.
I looked at YouTube when we signed Gil. It was obvious that he would just get clattered in our league. Lightweight in the extreme. This lad is a different player completely.
 
Kulu, Bentancur, Maddison, Bissouma, Porro, Davies, Romero, Son, Richy, are all experienced players and likely would be selected for starting a game.

Asking if we want more experienced players is all fine and well, but outside of a few, Gallagher as a prime example who would Ange be interested in who would come in an run their bollocks off for a hundred minutes week in week out?

Hanson once said you won't win anything with kids, something that is so outdated in todays game. Some clubs balk at buying a twenty eight year old nowadays.

I am hoping we look to the likes of Whiteman, Austin, Phillips, Gray, Sarr, Bergvall, Scarlett and Veliz as the future and not be afraid to introduce these next season over looking all the time for established talent.

This us why I think Levy isn't worried about pumping forty odd million on an eighteen year old. He will know that Ange will play him.
Whiteman and Austin will never be first team keepers for us. No ambition. Happy to do training and sit on the bench now and again. Both 25 yrs old. We do need a better second choice keeper.
If we had 3-4 months of Foster, as Newcastle did with their second kpr , we can write off the season.
He looks well past it.
