That’s true for the coming season or two, agreed.

There’s evidence of binary thinking here. You can have top class players and young players woth high ceilings in the same squad.
What we did under Poch just needs to be repeated but fed with top young talent consistently. We didn’t do that with Poch for at least three reasons. First, a lack of leadership from the very top. Second, Poch didnt want a director of football and was terrible at transfer decisions. Third, we had liquidity issues as the stadium was being built.
None of those needs to be the case now.
The rationalist facts and logic brigade having Daniel Levy as its messiah and savior is so perfect.
But you cannot bring along talent at the volume a Dortmund has and also hang onto the fruits of that development too, for positions on the field reasons, financial reasons, team culture reasons, those are just two entirely different models.
And selling when the price is right is the lynchpin to both.
Let’s simplify. Are you saying that we wouldnt be able to attract players like Vuskovic, Bergvall and Tel if we had 11 world class players?
Can you explain practically what the particular issues are with having a mix of players at different stages of development in a 50 game season?
It sounds like your hot rhetoric is the clueless ignorant midwit sophistry but you must have a thought process.
One of the reasons Dortmund is a selling club is that they were bankrupt until Bayern bailed them out. They paid a price for Bayern's generosity, losing Lewandowski, Gotze, Hummels to name a few, the most egregious being Gotze, "bought" by Bayern just before the Champions League final against Bayern and starting the match but then coming off with a bullshit injury.
Goatse really showed his ass there, didn't he?
Either that or they are just Levy's syncophants
Götze did not play in that final.
Mate they have absolutely indoctrinated the fanbase with this Jam tomorrow FC crap. So much so that we spout the talking points like Reform voters talk about dinghies. I'd be utterly amazed if two of the current crop of academy players and buy ins become elite. Just two would be miraculous. And I bet it will two we don't predict so not Moore or Vuskovic or Yang. Bet it's an Abbott or an Ajayi.

Well out of his depth - sussed the long throw merchant early doors. Fraud
maybe the statement was addressed to Levy. this team is equal to 7th place?
Tactically top notch
When Woolwich build up - High press
When Woolwich get through the press -immediately drop to midblock
If Woolwich go through that, go into low block
When Spurs are in attack, have a big high line but always have the covering player other than 2 CBs
Loved this game start to finish.

I saw coaching, encouragement and well used substitutes.
I saw information and communication on the sideline from him and Cochrane.
Proper.
