ValYid saying that Poch is looking to develop youth, but seeing as he was supposedly given assurances of spending then it's definitely a forced hand. Levy can't just keep using Poch's excellent track record of developing youth as a safety net, he has to back him with top quality signings that challenge the first XI.
I think some money is there, but it seems from what poch said himself, and Itk's, we're only going to spend on players that improve us, and promote from within when possible, that way we won't get stuck with the likes of Jansens/GKN etc (although it confuses me why we let the likes of Bennets and Griffiths go to top teir european sides if that was the case).
I'm sure we will hear more from itk's and press in the coming weeks, but it seems we're being priced out by clubs with ridiculous prices for their players (purely speculation mind you) like Grealish and Sessengson. Whether we stump up the cash for those players is another debate really for another thread.
