It's Quiet - a new dawn

If only we had a B-team playing in the Championship...

I'd imagine both Diaz and Foden will be loaned out.

With both Silva' s there simply isn't a place for them. If Pep had seen something in either of them, he wouldn't have bought Bernado. Spanish Dave still has 2 or 3 season's in him.

There is a disconnect between the level the youth players play at and the first team, in Peps eyes. I believe that is impacting his decision making in some capacity and until there is a step change in said mentality the youth will never feature during his tenure.

I think its clear that Foden has impressed him, I think he'll stay, not sure about Diaz, maybe Gironna until January is a good option where he can get good game time.

Zinchenko looks phyisically ready too, he looked very good this afternoon.

I think I trust Pep's judgement over posters on here, he's a reputation from using youth, and he see's them every day, when we only get brief glimpses of them, his reputation has been earned well beyond a few bluemoon posters.

What we should be petitioning for is up to 5 subs allowed on the field. That'd sort out the wheat from the chaff...and it would allow more kids from all teams on the bench at least...

This coupled with the fact that he wants his team to be the one that succeeds.
Unless there is exceptional once in a lifetime talent available in the Academy I think he will always buy his proven young players rather than risk their development at PL level.
Perhaps he will bench a player or 2 at PL games but giving extended runs to academy players and allowing them to adjust is not likely to happen that is reserved for his players eg Bravo.

3 subs but allowed 2 more for 18 and below would work nicely I think.

Sounds good to me...

Think the only problem Zinchenko has is he'd take one of the non home grown squad places, and always will I think, so I expect him to go on loan. If we do only have a senior squad of 20 then there is room for a few of the academy lads we only need 3 or 4 injuries or suspensions for them to be regulars on the bench.

He should put two kids in the bench every week, if 3 up or more against the West Ham's and Bournemouth's of the league they should get game time, they should be starting cup games also.
I'd rather see the likes of Diaz, Foden and Roberts get minutes than Delph, Fernando or Bony.

Great post inchy. Completely agree.

 

[mosssideblue]

No, the disconnect comes from people who assume that if a kid does well in training, the manager picks him.

If the manager is Pellegrini, he brings on Demichelis.

Pep may start to use some of them but most of these kids can impress in training. They are hugely skilled footballers.

we will just have to agree to disagree then

I don't think he does in the league this year mate as he's under 21
