Now, here in lies the issue.
Fans demand top performances, expecting us to be challenging for titles. Then on the other hand, suggesting a 17 year old Mikey Moore and a 20 year old Odobert play a 3rd of games. These kids won't be good enough for 4 or 5 years.

How's that for ambition.
Get your keyboard fingers ready to demand the next coach get fired by Xmas for not turning Walker-Peters into the next Trent.
Haha he’s alright to be fair, better than Davies as a squad player but players like this should be enablers to also spending £150M on two top first 11 players like Eze or Rice levels…. Those players never sign
If Odobert won’t be ready until he’s 24/25 then he never will be. IMO he’s ready now and I’m hoping we’ll see this on Weds night.
Moore needs games against men to adjust as he grows. I’d loan him to a Championship team.
I am guessing we kept Moore at home because of his age. Yang and Donley might be the blueprint, they go on loan when they are a bit more mature as people ... 19 or 20 years old.
His mum forgot to sign his excursion permission slip.
I also think that 3 at the back suits our attackers and midfield decently as well. Our attacking players would do well in a more direct system which I think 3 at the back could facilitate.
3 at the back would suit us nicely. VdV would be an incredible LCB who can rampage and cause chaos against teams in a low block. I also think Spence, if he learns defensive discipline, could be a very handy RCB in the future as his pace is almost VdV'esque, and he is a formidable 1-on-1 defender. Just a shame Romero wants out as he is the perfect ball playing CB who could sit between the other two CBs and dictate play, and step up into midfield to win the ball with 2 CBs behind him (his role at Atalanta before we signed him).
Moore is good enough technically - but he needs some pace and strength. I think he might be a Foden that stays involved and isn’t loaned, until he’s ready
Yep - agree
No shit, Shirlock.
You prat.
If we win EL and we bring in new players to improve the squad, Mikey will be further down the pecking order for game time.
3. We are in Champions League next yearSo we’ve be got a chance! - 68M release clause but Palace may accept less.
Exclusive: Crystal Palace could accept 'low' Eberechi Eze offer as Man City swoop
Football Insider has learned that Crystal Palace could accept a bid of below Eberechi Eze's release clause this summerwww.footballinsider247.com
I guess we need two things to grab Eze:
1. Neither Chavs nor Arse are in for him
2. We will pay him the 200K in wages that he’ll demand - I'm skeptical on this but c’mon prove me wrong you bald cunt
4. We choose and somehow convince Glasner to come
I'm sceptical of it happening, many events would have to align in our favour to land him at this point I think.
Brighton are a mid table team. They are always a mid table team with a great business model to be a mid table team.
They buy a lot of players and sell some for big profits, then buy some more players, finish mid table again and the start the process again.
We can/must do better than following what Brighton are doing.
" It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low"
Rubbish.
Moore's break through season will probably be 2026/27 after becoming physically better developed during 2025/26 when he'll be playing in enough games to make a worthwhile contribution.
Odobert has already played a full season in French top League plus a season playing for Burnley in PL - he gave Spurs a bit of a hard time when we played them - so after 2 seasons of playing in top leagues is ready now. Only reason for not contributing much this season is injuries (after 2 injury free seasons playing).
