I agree. As much as it’s a shame to see him go I wish him all the best. And for that money well you have to accept.

I think it was probably easier for Pep to bring the youth through at Barca as the league was a little more forgiving than over here.I’m gutted about this. Similarly to Lavia I would rather the club be investing time in our youth products than signing the likes of Kalvin Phillips.
It is my one and only slight criticism of Pep, and I repeat it is only slight, that I expected him to promote more youth players than he has done. Similarly to his Barca days.
Not all bad though we won a treble last season!!!
In the Premier League we obviously need to be bang on it every single game. Case in point... Brentford, Southampton and Forest. Not much room for kids finding their feet gradually...

How long before it’s Doku out, should have kept palmer?Just got to hope Doku does the business on the pitch. It’s been a strange window with loads of outgoings and we are not used to that, at least the Croatians are Golden. Love them both already.

Bobb may be the better prospect but he's not a goal scorer which is what Palmer is and what we need considering Grealish gives us next to none from the other side(he gives us plenty of other things).May be heresy to some and sorry if already said but I think Bobb is a better prospect than Cole - more adaptable and certainly more dynamic. The money for Cole is ludicrous in my view and simply too good to turn down. If he were not a Manchester lad we would all be lauding this deal like we did with the Torres transfer. Sorry if I upset a few.

It’s a difficult situation for Pep. We would not have won the treble with Palmer and lavia.
It can't be proven either way but I seriously doubt that if you swap Kalvin Phillips out for Romeo Lavia last season then we'd fail to achieve what we achieved.
I don't believe the choice is as black and white as you make out. We can be just as successful and still integrate young players better than we have done.
There's a balance to be had but it's a balance we don't have to find because it's easier to just throw £50m+ at a position than go for some kid who is an unknown quantity at senior level.

Because he’s one of them players bit like Rihad they get a rep as being lazy or disinterested but in fact there not there highly skill full and just want to show it marhez was the masterYeah. Nailed on source, mate.
Some random on Bluemoon said it and a couple of fcukwits then repeated it.
We have but in these inflationary times, I'd probably prefer an asset sitting out on our right wing where we need him rather than converted to cash at present.And we’ve got 45m for a guy whose played a dozen or so times
