What can we get from this?
For me, some of our most promising players are our youngest, and I think people forget just how young Fellaini and Rodwell are. Add to that the others in bold and we have a good core of young players in the first team.
Our other players in the first team ( first block ) are now in their prime.
Our oldest players, though playing well now, are in the majority reaching their sell by date, and after this season, we should consider cashing in while we have the chance. Players like Cahill , Howard, and Saha may bring big money if they have another good season ( waits for stampede).
Our youngest kids, need to start getting some first team experience, to either turn them into stars, or increase their resale value, and they need that experience NOW.
That's my opinion. What's yours?
