Fantastic mate.
Sign teenagers for hugely inflated prices rather than sign actual players who can improve the team. So you think we should let half the team go and replace them with uniteds reserves?
But if it works in your football manager game........

Would you have said prior to this season that Leicester where only a couple of signings away from being champions
Or that United had a squad capable of top 4 (which they almost did)
Or that West Ham where only 1/2 signings away from being a top 4 side - which for Payets injury against us they could easily have gotten
Sometimes it only takes 1 or 2 players added to a team that can lift all those around them mate
Payet is the obvious example, he has made a bang average set of player saround him look 50% better than they are
same with Kante - that entire team has improved massively due to his prescene their
We laugh at the koppites going on about their missing piece of the jigsaw continually, but for a lot of teams they are only 1 or 2 signiogns away from being a genuine chance at top 4 - now the key is to find those signigns - ofc most don't
But for example you stick Lukaku into West Ham or Uniteds side last season - they get top 4 without doubt
You take Vardy or Mahrez or kante out that Leicester side at the start of the season - they would be sat mid table
Basically you do not need a side full of 'top 4' players, you need a side that together plays well enough as a unit to be top 4
On Paper the everton side of 86 was better than the one of 87 - especially when you factor in how many injuries we had in 87 and some of the very average players who played a lot of games that season, but overall it was a better side strangely as with Linkeer in the team we lost something mor eimportant than the shed load of goals he brought

Baines is still by a way the best left back in England, Hodgson is an utter clown who bought Konchesky to start for the rs mate, he knows less than John Snow

Not to mention that Rashford is VASTLY overated (go figure why eh?)
We sell someone like Luakku i hope to god we get in at least one striker who is 26-29 and has a bloody good track record - yeah taking a gamble with kids is ok, but even that United side which spawned the hansen quote had a core of absolute top level experienced players in it - otherwise they indeed would have won nothing with just kids...

I tend to agree that our squad is some way off challenging for a top four place
I think we do have a great squad that will improve in time, but it all depends what the new owners vision is
He may want to go,for bust and fill the squad with experienced players who have seen it and done it all - problem is these come with massive fees and salaries and are here for the short haul
Or he may want to continue in building a squad with youth and a level of experience - problem is this takes time and patience, which our fanbase may not give
My feel is we have the basis for a potentially great squad, and I would like too see small tweaks made to improve it
Personally i want to see our youth coming through, as for me this is how it should be
Exciting times and hopefully productive times

Best is a blend of the two really, Ferguson knew that and his best sides displayed it

Would take Mata in a heartbeat, but not for anything like what United paid for him, biggest problem we have though is any 'playmaker' - number 10 we bring in - then what the hell does it mean for Barkleys future at the team,
Why are you obsessed with buying kids to develop, you were banging on about it under Martinez and now you're actually wanting to buy 3 unproven players who have had a handful of games. Yes they've had a few good games but still far from anything.
Get off this idea of building this youthful team that grows together, it's not happening. We need to buy top quality that have the experience and can handle it when things go a bit off track.
Get off the computer games, it's not real life

I totally agree
I still want to see the academy working i also want to see young potential players being bought
We need to keep a steady flow of players filtering into the senior squad
If we forget all this we become the circus that is City &Chelsea
