Oh I think the two don't have to conflict though, I think you can recruit younger players and as long as the manager pays them it can be as effective as recruiting older experienced players but with the payoff of they improve rather than regress...
The first 3 bigger signings LB, Barry and Alcaraz surely let suggest the focus is long term. The problem is when they really work out well here they will go for bigger clubs of course.
But also he wants to improve results and says it's...
Rather have Brownhill than Doucoure. But the problem imo is that I don't think that Longstaff or Brownhill are bad players and would do their job here, but they won't add something to the midfield like for example Luiz.
He played CM early season, but then when the everlasting Jesus Navas retired he often played as a RB, that's correct. 3 at the back is not very common here unlike Italy for example, but versatility is a big topic in youth development that's correct.
Would have been massively useful to us...at this stage I am wondering if there is any strategy in the recruitment at all. Supposedly very interested months ago, then nothing...it seems we are just coming up with random names and then flip a coin...
Even last season mate he started more games at right back than any other spot. Not sure if Spain is like here in terms of a lot of times a young fullback will get minutes on the wing as well.
The promoted team are shopping in different pools to us (possibly except for Sunderland signing Diarra)
They also have less of a strong base to build from, staying up guarantee's them £140m and going down they can recoup that by selling on for a...
I am totally fine with all the signings we got so far and it's good we just don't overspend on everyone like under Koeman. No idea about the internal processes, as good it is that not everything gets leaked anymore on an early stage, it feels at...
The promoted sides haven't signed one player on our radar. Easier to get them in if nobody else is chasing them. We perhaps have aimed the bar too high this summer but the deals we have done so far look good, get Dibling and I'd be very happy.
I guess the aim with Palace, Fulham and Wolves should be more than just surviving. Wolves struggled because of a bad manager as Everton in the first half.
I am not concerned, but as I said one week before, I wished and thought we assembled more...
Strangely out of these teams, Luton have performed the best.
But I can understand we didn't go in for Walker (not good enough anymore) or Xhaxa (could be good for 2-3 seasons), but 20m and high salary and was last season not on the level as in...
