I don't think there are any 19 year old holding midfielders that are any good in world football mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think that for the CM position, it’s better to take experience and a future loss than gamble on inexperience.

Same with GK Same here. It’s great to get young future players, but they will leave if we get relegated. We need players who are going to come in and change the team NOW. We also need to stop thinking 30 is retirement age. I can’t think of any players that were done by 30, unless due to injury’s. We have won titles with the majority of our players being 30+.

We have won titles with the majority of our players being 30+. It's got to be a blend. You can't do anything in the modern game without young, quick and energetic players (look at Barca now) but equally you need a couple of older heads to marshal and lead. Players that know their craft and aren't learning on the job. Shukes, StevO and Bailey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Myers has also confirmed we are out of the running for Gabriel too, so if that article the other day is correct our fee for Allan should free up the funds for Gabriel to Napoli.

Btay Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 This one will happen. Still need another marquee CM signing. Rakitic/James would be ideal and we could have Allan sit a touch deeper with Gomes and either two above more advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
