Transfers abolished?

[Nymzee]

Super bored at work so thought for a little bit of fun and to get away from all the oriental-hoofball convos I'd ask this:

If this season was the very last for transfers (permanent), what would you envisage our line-up to be in 5 or so years time? And do you think we'd be in a stronger position league-wise than we are now with transfers available.

Obviously we can't predict who will develop or not and who might retire and when but still worth a look. Personally think we could 'outscale' a few bigger teams.

Possible line-up:

Pickford
Kenny Holgate Keane Robinson
Baningime Davies
Dowell
Sandro DCL Henry

Options:

Hilton
Hewelt
Feeney
Foulds
Connolly
Gibson
Markelo
Walsh
Bowler
Klaassen
Evans
Lookman
Sambou
Mathis

Could Chelsea recall their 5 million loan players?

Yes.

Bed.

Bed.

In a world where transfers are reaching £200m I think it's fascinating to wonder where clubs would end up if they disappeared and academies actually had a purpose again.

For all our good work at youth levels it all becomes pretty irrelevant when the only way to compete is to spend.

Peppers stuffed with rice and spinach or peppers stuffed with something else and rice and spinach as an accompaniment?

Peppers will be stuffed with a tomatoey turkey mince and mozzarella. Rice and spinach on the side. Maybe green beans I haven't decided yet.

Good solid option for a Tuesday there.

Will there be any suppering before bed?

I'm not digging the green beans in such a situation.

Whatever I have for tea I'll eat again around 10pm. My Tuesday's are a joy.

A lot of people fail to properly season the peppers inside and out, making the final result a bit bland. I like to coat in olive oil and sprinkle sea salt around the outside. Gets a nice flavour as well as browning and crispness of texture in the oven.

Hang on lads, just for some perspective, here is my likely Tuesday tea & supper:

So you hold some of it back for supper? Interesting strategy. If you was to choose a different snack for supper what would be your no1 preference?
