Had a long convo with my source last night and I have to say I am worried for the youth progression to the first team. If we sign the players we are targeting in the Summer I just don't see how any of the current crop are going to push through in the next couple of years.
Remember when I say this I have always in the past defended the club and Poch on how the youth set up is integrated into the first team.
Perhaps it’s time to make the step up to signing some top proven players if we’re aiming to actually win things in the near future?
Youth promotion is laudable and a great thing if you can discover genuine talent, but if we’re genuinely in a position to improve with new signings, maybe it’s time to go down that road.
It’s the mediocre squad filling signings like Sissoko that block youth progression I don’t agree with.
