Just an opinion do think we should invest even more in academy. Some of the transfer fees now are extraordinary. Moore could be next big thing for us but need more coming through academy. Saves a lot of money transfer wise. We should pick the brains of ajax, Barcelona, bayern, psg, sporting and any other elite academies how they operate.
It’s irrelevant. We never give our youth a chance. Every other team bloods thier kids and they get first team
Opportunities. We send ours on load then release or sell them. Parrot was a prime example o how bad we are at it.
 
I'd like to think our injury crisis last season was a one off. Imo Ange frenetic tactics decimated our squad. You never know what's round corner but Frank seems more structured and has a decent coaching set up. Time will tell.

If only it had an 4th upside-down head coming down from above LeoDC. 😄

Agree big time- I'd argue he's surpassed Benta. Considering the reward of further developing him- a player with undoubtedly top potential, AND Bentancur's contract situation- it would be a mistake to not prioritize his development ahead of Bentancur.

Frank could easily get trapped in too defensive a midfield. Sarr, Benta and Palh is ok, but we'll see more flat offensive displays if we try and play that way regularly.

Benta is better when he's got the freedom to get fwd a bit more.... Would be unfair to shoulder him with the criticism of making us too defensive.
