Exactly. Jack and hopefully Kane will impact the first 11. It’s about time we start to see a few of the academy lads over players that want to leave.

We need to move away from 2 world class players for each position. Impossible to keep them all happy. Upgrade the first 14 with quality and the rest youth.

I agree with the second point. It’s becoming impossible to have two players in every position. One always wants to leave.

posters say we rotate, but our best players will always start the big games. I’d rather one of the youngsters was the second choice

Doing that exposes us to risk should a long term injury occur to the first choice player
 
Yeah but Bernardo wasn’t baseless evidently was it. Because you hadn’t heard him say he wants to leave you didn’t believe it. We won’t shift 4 players, no chance. The club probably wanted to ensure Grealish was through the door with Bernardo, let’s now see.
No idea why, but I've had the feeling since the start of the window that we'll lose 2 players this summer. With recent statements I could see 3 going, presuming the deals suit all parties.
 
While I dont disagree with moving them on if they dont want to be here the loss of kun, Bernardo and jesus with grealish and kane coming in makes us weaker in terms of options.
We would have one main striker (kane). Torres is a possibility but at present for me something about him doesnt sit tight with me....big season after a year adapting but it feels like he may not like the premiership and want a return to warmer climates ( just gut feeling nothing else and o could be well off the mark).....also as a leader of the line/no.9 he has a lot to develop

Will Pep persist with false 9 at times? It's been suggested he would be reluctant as teams will work it out.

Delap seems to be going on loan to stoke.

Our top goal scorer was gundo last year who had his best ever goal return in his career....If we get Kane we will have to rotate him at times and as a traditional no.9 he is less flexible in terms of where he can play and therefore how the team plays

For these reasons I'd keep Jesus
I would think letting Jesus go is purely dependent upon getting Kane and even then , only if a club makes a suitable offer, he won't be leaving on the chaep.

Torres a year older and hopefully more settled with the club/culture, big season for him and make or break for his long term future with us.

So does keeping Jesus to take 7 opportunities to score. Or we could give Palmer or McAtee a go and find we don't need Jesus anyway. We're talking about generational talents here who've just thumped 3 Championship sides. If Chelsea can trust Abraham, Hudson-Odoi etc, Liverpool trust N Williams and Nat Phillips we can trust these lads.

it wouldn’t be for every position. Just one or two. Also we have a squad now where most players can play in multiple positions anyway.

for instance why not have Palmer as second choice behind mahrez. If he’s not quite ready Torres or Sterling can always play there as well
