Might not qualify for the conference league but of the injuries there’s no doubtWe'll need them all what with all the injuries and Conference League matches.![]()
None of them will be getting scraps. That is not how it works now.Will some of them be happy with scraps?
Maybe he’s too good to be loaned out? If he’s truly a wonder kid then he shouldn’t find it too difficult to break into first team squad.If we sign estevao I can see him getting loaned out to strasbourg (or a competitive team in general) and then slowly getting integrated team.
Agreed, if him and Kendry Paez are supposed to have the sort of hype Vinicius Jr did the surely they should be straight into our teamMaybe he’s too good to be loaned out? If he’s truly a wonder kid then he shouldn’t find it too difficult to break into first team squad.
Don’t forget the likes of Falcao, Weah and Pato. Actually to be fair, Weah was fun and totally different time.Sorry I can't get excited by this. I want to go back to the days when we signed the likes of Sterling, Higuain and Aubameyang. We need more old, has-been players for their experience.
The wonder kid to world class player ratio is pretty low, but for defenders I can’t think of any, they seem to come out of nowhere. Pau Cubarsí of Barca looks talented but it’s still early days.Imagine the Thiago Silva that went to Milan was being tracked by us right now.
"Another young Brazillian, some experience like Abdoulaye Méïté could be got at for a decent price"
Not a silly ideaThink we need to buy another European club to accommodate the number of foreign youth players we buy every season. You still want the academy to produce 'pure profit' players, so don't want these kids to come to the club too early to take up a spot in the under 19 or reserves. It's fascinating we need to sell grown ups to keep in line with the FFP, as soon as we out of trouble we buy more youth assets.
We bought Strasbourg already, in case you missed itThink we need to buy another European club to accommodate the number of foreign youth players we buy every season.

They could only take that many without being scrutinizedWe bought Strasbourg already, in case you missed it
