What if the youngsters aren't good enough mate? Should he still shoe horn them in?

They are good enough mate

More Barkley, Stones, Deulofeu, Pennington, Kenny, Dowell, Davies and McAlney?

Err, yes please

 

[ijjysmith]

They are good enough mate

Then they'll play.

I don't see what the issue is.

Not that simple mate, as you well know

It takes guts to play kids, no matter how good they are

Ferguson had it, and reaped the rewards. Other managers have not been as brave

Will McAlney cut it？ Probably will be sold soon.

Who is?

Stones - yes.

Barkley - yes.

Del - yes.

Rom - yes (still young - will probably be off)

Dowell - looks to be, but only 17, needs game time pre-season and I'd loan him to the Championship. Think Rotherham with the Stubbs connection is now the place to send them tbh!

Davies - same as Dowell.

Connolly - no idea, still only 18.

Pennington - did well and I think he'll have a bigger role.

Brtowning - injured but like Pennington, did well.

Galloway - will be in and around the side, I'm sure of it.

Garbutt - unknown yet. Kind of a forgotten man.

McAleny - never gonna make it at this level.

It is as simple as that. If the manager, whoever it is, thinks they're a better option than a player he could buy in, then they will play.

port vale in for him

Koeman has played youngsters, and signed them (Classe - 23, Van Dijk - 23).

They'll get their chances. But right now the first team needs some proven quality players in their prime (like W.Ham did with Payet, for example) to add that bit more guile and spark.

 

[peteblue]

Yeh at least give him until the end of August !!

July.....

This - completely depends upon the manager, a lot of them just won't do it. Pochetino is a good example of someone who will. Hopefully Koeman will because we've got the best crop of youngsters in decades.

 

[MickA]

Not sure where the caller got that from (did not hear the call) but Moshiri has the first option to acquire the rest of BK's shares (as well as Woods and Abercromby)

Dein has been sounded out re possible Chairmanship

Pretty sure Dein was quoted at the time of Kings Dock that Arsenal would have killed for an oppotunity like that. Let's hope we can all pull together for a new dockland site.

Great to hear professionalism is finally heading to the boardroom.
