Yes, some of us are. That's what we wanted, right? A good academy? Something that could produce first team quality players?
Well we have some, why don't we use them?
Your "examples" are absolutely silly at best. Would I have liked a shiny new DM and CF? Yes. Do I think we have options in the squad that can perform there until we can bring in the *right* players? Yes.
Why that is so hard for some people to come to terms with boggles the mind. It's not like we're going to turn into Barcelona and challenge for the League overnight with those two signings. We'd be better, sure, but we'd go from 10 points out of 4th to 4 points out of 4th.
My examples are what posters have said on here. My point is that we are a team who want to challenge for 4th but we have played the market like a team challenging for 8th-10th.
I'm all for giving youngsters a chance and developing an academy but we need experience in our team as well and decent back up options. We are massively short on options no matter how anyone tries to spin it.
