I actually don't think we should sign another midfielder, - I know this is risky, but because we are unlikely to be in the top 5 and maybe might make a cup run, I think we may as well take this opportunity to use Davies Delph and Beni and just risk it. That midfield is not going to lose us matches, and will be better than Schneiderlin - Delph and at worst will be hit & miss, but will have energy and a lot of passion and effort. Slowing their route to the first team is pointless, and giving them a challenge of stepping up is a good opportunity
I think this is where we learn about our young players again, and see if they're really up to something. Last night we had such a young England team, and they are all people who were given a chance at the first team of top clubs, and it came out ok. We might have an issue if we are producing good players up to the age of 21 and very few then progress -
we have to test that out - have a young crop with at least as much potential as the young ones who play for England but they have never made it . I want to see if Brands is really going to promote young players and take a risk on them
