When I see the young players being signed by Kompany for Burnley makes me wonder why are we not doing likewise ?
Probs because we're actively trying to avoid relegation if we can mate. Southampton & Leeds great examples that buying all kinds of yoof isn't necessarily the best policy..
 
Not so sure mate, we only have to look at the players we are generally are linked with, i know 99% is bollox lazy journos but still.
So you don't like the 99% of made up rumours?

Think you may be barking up the wrong tree mate.

Ive said a couple of times we need to be looking to take scouts from other clubs who find gems.
We need people who find say Onana before we have to pay 30mil for them or the Richarlisons before we pay 40-50mil
We had a glorified scout as a dof who found haaland but got told no by the upper echelons.

Blame the board for not letting our dofs and scouts do their jobs.

But by signing players with no prospect to be better in the future are we not just doing relegation with extra steps?

Because it's what's currently happening realistically - we're marching down to fight to not get relegated if possible this year, again, 3 years in a row.

There is a middle ground there, and Saints and Leeds aren't relegated because of their 5 young starters between the two teams lol

Didn't we take one from Brighton recently? I agree but also even if we scout good players it's seemingly mostly blocked by our risk averse board/chairman/owner...
