[mawspurs]

A number of young players have departed the north London club this summer but why have they moved?

Skipp vs Barcelona

I like how Skippy moves the ball around quickly.

G’day Skippy.

For those old enough to remember.

Skipp vs Barcelona

Good movement, anticipation, vision (head on a swivel) and a decent bit of acceleration - Looks promising!

 

[t-baggins]

Definitely looks promising!

 

[JC-Rule]

With Winks to comeback, this is all very promising.

"Before they had to be 7 out of 10. Now we have told them they need to be 8 or 8.5 out of 10 to get a chance".

Shame he doesn't apply that to his signings. Sissoko's a 2. Aurier's about a 5.

I think Poch looks at how he can improve a player, so he might have expected them to improve from those values, doesn't seem to have worked with Sissoko, Aurier time will tell.

Well why can’t he improve the academy players too, as he has previously.

I’d say KWP was easily a 9 in terms of where he was at in his development, ability and mentality. Why did he need to spend 25m plus wages on a player who also needed to develop?

I completely agree on that point. When Walker went I'd have promoted KWP as backup RB to Trippier rather than signed Aurier. KWP shows a lot of promise IMO. But he is best at RB rather than being used as a LB which stifles him somewhat.

They figured they weren't going to get a game in the first team. If they thought they'd be regular starters I'm sure we'd have kept them. Hope we don't come to regret this but trust in Poch to call this right.
