You the same handsofstone that's been posting a lot in the transfer forum? Ie we should sign Lewandowski, Nuno Mendes, Aouar? But you're fuming that Palmer didn't get 10 minutes in a meaningless PL match! Have to say I'm confused about your youth policy.
They aren't mutually exclusive, it's not transfers OR youth
Look what I said, I said that Lewandowski is the best in the world at his prime so would love to get him... but its unrealistic and didn't think we would, but still you don't pass up opportunitieslike that...and anyway Lewandowski doesn't block anyone, if anything it's a much better signing for Delap as Haaland would have that striker spot for 10 years
And yea I said I want Auoar, again because of the fee is so cheap and he is a replacement for Gundogan, again if we don't get him I wouldn't mind but if we aren't going to let Doyle get a chance, then he's a good option
Nuno Mendes might just be the best fullback talent in the world...but I've also said that if we can't get him then fair enough, but also said that I'd be fuming if we went for a Betrand/Ings as they are just stop gaps and squad fillers
If they are world class talents then we have every right to go for them, but if the option isn't available we should trust our youth, we make about 2 key signings a summer, no reason why we can't start picking the odd youth candidate to get gametime
There was no reason why we can't let Palmer be Mahrez understudy next year, Harwood-Beilles is impressing at Blackburn, he will lbe close in 18 months time
The youth team has actually been great as it's been a money pool for us, but if in the next 10 years and Foden is the only player who managed to get any chances I'd be a bit pissed as our academy/EDS have been dominating the youth leagues for a while
