No its not. Its sensible. We challenge across 4 competitions and it's a world cup year. We can't rely on our youth players to play at our level with such a congested schedule when they have very few first team minutes under their belt.Spending £60m on rotational players (KP,Akanji) because we don`t trust the Academy (Lavia,Mbete) is disappointing.

There could definitely be a better balance though.So glad you ain't in charge of our club then.
Ake is back training already. If I had to bet this is a change in system to 3 at the back. Otherwise I can see one of Stones/Akanji getting about 4-5 games a season.It would seem that Pep and Tixi thought otherwise. Akanji.

Ake has already played 3 games this season. Stones 2. They'll all get more than 4-5. One of Ake Laporte might play more at LB with Cancelo being used more at RB where we are light. And possible that a 3 at the back could be used too. It is a move that maybe helps the whole back 4 rather than purely CBs.
Yeah thats definitely true. In a way we have compensated our lack of a backup RB ( considering Cancelo as a LB) with have the Stones option there.Ake has already played 3 games this season. Stones 2.

The only think this club wants is strengthen the trophy cabinet, Mbete/Lavia are not good enough at this point, hence why they left the club and learn their trade, if they prove themselves we have the option to bring them back.i wrote about rotational players...at the moment neither will be Akanji ("regular first teamer")..at least Lavia is available & Rodri can´t play every game...Academy players strengthen team/club identity in the group & between club/fans...
