If we don’t have a youngster who can receive and pass the ball, overlap every now and then, and put in a tackle every now and then, what DO we have at the Academy?
Thought it was poor of Pep to comment about the Academy players on the bench as he did, too. They’ll never get better, and no-one will ever know what they might be able to do if we never give them the chance.
If not now, when we are decimated, when?

He was born in Milton Keynes, raised in Liverpool, was a youth player at Everton from age 11 and played at Bolton, Wigan & Fulham - don't think he's touched any development system in the states. Fair enough if you don't like him as a player but not sure anything else is applicable.
One of my old colleagues is a Wigan fan - he told me about Robinson and Reece James when they had them, so I kept an eye out. Personally think he's very solid defensively, quite fast and has popped up in attack more over the past couple of seasons. A good profile and could do the Walker role on the left.
2023/2024 I think. Walker was his name.
Did I miss the only joking, apologies bud.
Opticians on 18th can’t come soon enough

Vanderson for me would be the main target, he may not be as attacking and exciting as Frimpong but he's stronger defensively and jsut more well rounded.... so if we are gonna persist with a back 4 he works better
Don't think Monaco would charge a kings ransom, seen some reports for €25mil which worst case I guess could be as high as £30mil, well in our range
Likewise Fiorentina are apparently in financial trouble, looks like Kayode could be available for £20mil or less. He's still raw but he's athletic and probably even better defensively than Vanderson
Dumfries is a potential option but he'll wait till summer and likely will have a lot of suitors so hard to wait around for him, also he's primarily a RWB from what I know of him
All seems moot though as the club doesn't sound they they are targeting a RB, especially given Walker nor Rico are close to leaving

Singo at Monaco worth a shout as well. Dumfries just signed a new deal .

No idea. At the other end of the spectrum, we played Ipswich Town on August 24th and were 3-1 up in 16 minutes. We then squandered chance after chance after chance before we finally went 4-1 up in the 88th minute, at which point we brought McAtee and Nunes on. Mainstays were playing meaningless minutes for 72 minutes, and players can miss chance after chance because there is nobody breathing down their neck. All a little too uncomfortably comfortable.
