What the actual fuck?

Misery loves company.

I have no problem with a transition season as long as we can see some kind of transition happening. I just see older players we’ve kept for too long and no forward planning regarding youth coming in to the team.

Here is what to do. Write a list of old players we have kept too long. Write a list of players in their absolute prime. Write a list of young players we have.

Then look at it and it will become clear how wrong you are.

There are a few older players, sure. But bloody hell that's a blinkered take, when we have the likes of foden, haaland, doku, savinho, gvardiol, etc as our recent signings.

Ederson, Kovacic, Bernardo and Grealish are not old. They are in their prime. A couple aren't playing that way, but that's the age players excel at in those positions.
