Its counterproductive to set the whole of the youth team playing exactly the way the first team is.
1) Doesent make sence for a 16 year old playing in a style or system that a manager wants whos unlikely to be there in the 5 years hes ready for...
I agree with this 100% mate. Id we had done the above, over the last 8 years we would have been preparing teams to play the Martinez, Koeman, Allardyce, Silva, Ancelotti, Benitez, Lampard, Dyche then Moyes way. Good luck finding some continuity...
Hopefully the appointment of Nick Cox will be followed soon by the appointments of new U21/youth team coaches training progressive football. The style of play of Utd youth teams is very much possession based football. Please god let hoofball be a...
There's certain posters on here that will scoff at almost every name that gets brought up so I wouldn't let it deter you on mentioning players that you think could offer something to the club
We can, but the fact that we havent done any deals so far would suggest we want to wait till the next PSR window.

Idk man, it’s gotta be a little more complicated than that.
One of the things about money - past a certain point, it doesn’t matter any more.
For those who can possibly achieve it, it’s still gonna be about winning things as well.
For the...
A lot depends on the overall quality of the team/squad. Blaming individual players for a clubs poor performance is not the way to go. It would be like saying Branthwaite or Tarkowski are poor players because Everton have been struggling against...
It gives an indication of where the market is at, though. Or at the very least it shows how some transfers can be extremely bad value for money. Lyon paid 23 million for him and then had us agree to a 30 million option, and yet he's no better...
It does drop off though.
Blackburn anyone who wants one will get one, i wouldn't be shocked to see Accrington go to General sale.
I also disagree re. Hoarding. They're not "hoarding", they're spending thousands every year watching us up and...
