Its all centre halfs which is the problem and two of them aren't really good enough along with Branthwaite as a young one. Centre backs aren't really at the peak until around 27/28.

Still got to get Ali and Gomes off the wage bill. Especially Ali no way do we want to be giving Spurs any money for him.

I do agree, but there was some comments from Dyche the other month which made me wonder if he fancies a crack at Alli

It's about the situation we're in though.

Financially cash strapped.
Thin and poor squad.
Relegation battle past 2 seasons.

Ideal world we give youth a chance.

Real world is 4 months into the job and if it doesn't work... we're back in a relegation scrap and a new manager.

You allow youth to thrive in good environments. We don't have that yet.

It isn't like he just waltzed out of the academy. He has just done a full season in the Dutch league and Europe, I'd say he's earned a shot at our first team. Do you want another season of Michael keane?, because that's what you'll get at this rate.

We have to start turning this around , getting rid of our youngsters who have shown ability doesn't sit right. I'd argue Tom Cannon has earned a shot to be on the bench as well, looks to have something about him.

Yeah, he should get a shot. As 3rd choice when we bring in another CB.

Cannon will be, and should be, loaned out again IMO. Simms scored 7 goals in 14 starts in the championship yet he's "not good enough"

I just doubt very much Dyche will be leaning on youth to solidify the team.

We've 17 first team players at the moment out of last season's current squad. This doesn't take into account probable exits.

A 25 man squad need submitting.

Bloated it isn't.

White flags went up 2 seasons ago

GK: Pickford

DF: Branthwaite, Patterson, Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Tarkowski, Godfrey, Mykolenko,

MF: Onana, Garner, Doucoure, Gomes, Dele, Gbamin, Gana

WF: Iwobi, McNeil, Gray, Mills

FW: Maupay, DCL, Cannon, Simms


I would guess thats roughly where we are before moving more on: 24 players

In Branthwaites case, we have 5 centre backs as well as Welch who has been making the bench.

We need to move out 2 or more CBs from the squad.

Lols at that mate come on that's not a squad of 1st team players.

Dele, Gbamin, Gomes, Maupay will be gone

Coleman isn't/hasn't signed.

Mills, Cannon, Simms I'd be surprised to even be in the squad.

GK: Pickford
DF: Branthwaite, Patterson, Holgate, Keane, Tarkowski, Godfrey, Mykolenko,
MF Onana, Garner, Doucoure, Gana

Theres 18 (17 if you don't count Sick Note Lewin). And I'm being generous (Godfrey and Holgate need to go).

There's better championship squads than that.

Put keane upfront because 1 we have no strikers 2 he can score goals 3 he is far away from our goal 4- his crap defending is contagious and will rub off on the opposition
