Good idea. I’ve stressed elsewhere that the club should resist any temptation to go on a summer tour next year. There will naturally be a desire to recoup lost revenue as quickly as possible, but the welfare of the players and management must come first, or we’ll otherwise face burn out and the damage that entails. Four young players used wisely should help during the season, but then there needs to be a complete break at the season’s end.Very good point I’d won’t every player to have at least a month away from football to recharge there batteries!
Will believe it when it happens. It's easy to be led down this path when in reality, unless there's an injury crisis I cannot see us starting this lad other than maybe in a few Carabao fixtures. Hope I'm proven wrong, would love for us to get a Ferna replacement from within academy
Though I understand the comments about Academy players not getting a look in, it is 10 years now since the investment came in so players that have been at the club since junior school are now 17-18. I said it in another thread that I would rather us play one Academy player per game than spend another 200m: there's just something special about one of your own being brought through and I happen to think that Palmer, Lavia, McAtee, Delap, and Doyle are worthy of a chance. I would love us to have one Academy starter and one sub in every game. I'm doubtful but we have a big crop of quality coming through.
He's 17 years old, a few Carabao fixtures sounds pretty good to me?Will believe it when it happens.

Last season we had chance after restart to give some youngsters chance in PL as title was gone but didn't happenYoung players will almost certainly be given game time next season. First-team players are already exhausted and face a curtailed summer because of the Euros, and next summer will presumably see be shortened, too, so that the domestic season fits the 2022 World Cup. Sheer folly if they are not bled this season coming.

True to an extent. However, young Garcia then found himself flavour of the month, and Pep also had to get players who had been off for some time up to speed, especially with an eye to the return leg against Real Madrid.Last season we had chance after restart to give some youngsters chance in PL as title was gone but didn't happen

The U23s & the 1st team were training in separate bubbles were they not?Last season we had chance after restart to give some youngsters chance in PL as title was gone but didn't happen
How dare that pesky global pandemic spoil our plans.
You are telling me we couldn't get an academy lad in senior team bubble? Was it that difficult?The U23s & the 1st team were training in separate bubbles were they not?
