“you don’t win anything with kids”

Besides he already dropped Kulusevski for BJ, and look how that turned out.

In the league you surely have to go with your strongest 11, the kids can get their opportunities in the domestic cups and ropey league group games

Paywall.

Wait, you subscribe to the Daily Mail?

Yeah but the problem is, I'm not entirely sure that there's a great deal of difference between our first team and those talented lads coming through. Bergvall and Gray I think will be first 11 players before too long. I don't think we have many true standouts anymore. The second string isn't a great worse than the first.

Not sure thats true.... Play the guys that perform the best and do what the manager wants them to do.... Regardless of age.

I remember Sherwood getting a lot of stick as Spurs manager but I seem to remember him putting a young Harry Kane into the team

My overall point being.... We don't have glorious trophy filled recent history so why not actually play and back these kids we sign.... might just help us in the long term

Maybe I'm wrong ?

I’m sure they’ll get their chance.

Yes it's great but the like of Gray and Bergvall need time to adjust to the premier league they shouldn't be starting games atm

We also have a far better chance of actually winning the Cups or Ropey league than we do the PL

Every game is important... dont see why we need to downplay cup comps as simply an opportunity to give "kids" game time

Don't agree..... Bergvall and Gray were deemed good enough to come on Monday night in a high profile fixture an attempt to win the game. I see no reason at all why one or both couldn't start on Sat. Ange was pretty angry with the performance .... Why not start these two and prove there's real competition for places.... Thats how you get better

So Bergvall for Maddison and Gray for Bentancur is that how you see it, would be interesting

Not under Ange we do not sadly.

Just need to hope the change comes before the Carabao Cup third round.

Are we still going to sign KWP? You were adamant we would.

How much have you spent this summer

Google it and don't be lazy

I like what we are doing in the market.

The signings look quality and although may be not ready to challenge now, in a season or 2 they should be.

It was always going to take us a bit of time to revamp this squad and that would not produce instant results. So as we develop and progress its exciting that these younget players will be around for quite some time and hopefully key to future successes.

Bergvall looks good and potential.

Solanke isn’t quality. He could be decent.

Odobert? Punt

Archie Gray? Not ready. Should be on a loan for this season.

There’s still two weeks left so anything can happen but you’re kidding yourself if you wanted what we’ve done this window.

We’ve basically got an average (8th-5th) squad and an average manager.

The levels of delusion are very high at the moment. Probably a coping strategy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ya know what......I'm gonna trust the judgement of our transfer team over your assessment.

I mean Archie Gray "not ready" after a half hour debut. That's some rapid judgement you've dished out.

We’ve spent more than any other team in Ange’s tenure so far.

We’re shopping in Lidl and paying M&S prices
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Apart from Bergvall's low fee this is pretty much spot on. It's a sign of we are and what we are trying to achieve I guess.

Based on BJ, Solomon, Veliz, Werner, Solanke (he’s going to be ok but not next level) I wouldn’t trust our recruitment team.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok but don't forget Sarr, Udogie, Micky, Vic and a few others.

Try to give both side of the coin instead of using just the 'flops' regarding the recruitment team.

You are good at putting on a negative spin on everything. I'll give you that.
