I just don't understand some posters on this site going on and on about 'lack of depth' in the squad. They are probably the same posters that have been demanding for years that our youngsters are given a chance. Well 1) Christensen, Boga, Musonda and Lewis-Baker are presently in the squad; 2) the window has another month to run. So, you can't have it both ways - do we buy or do we give the youngsters a squad number?

great post, everyone moans about our youngsters not getting any time on the pitch, how is that supposed to happen if you fill the team with ready made talent, we already have great talent and they never have a chance to get into
first team.

It has to be the right balance, introduce them, not get injury to for example hazard and have boga in and expected to perform asap? That'll do well when media all jump on him, same as Christensen, baker, the pressure to perform and hit the floor running and to still keep winning is moneumental, I bet out of the 4 mentioned 2/ 3 will be gone on loan.

The thing is you say give youngsters a chance, but we've literally offloaded all of our most promising youngsters. Ake, Chalobah, RLC, Aina and I could go on. The youngsters we currently have in our squad are not of the quality of the youngsters we've offloaded (besides Musonda who I highly rate) . That's what I find frustrating about this window.

Christensen is better than Ake, and Baker is better than RLC. You could say that Chalobah is better than Baker but it was Chalobah's choice to leave as we offered him a contract. So overall I fail to see how we've let the better youngsters go.

You could say matic is better than all of them and had the experience, so if youth not good enough why play them. 🎣🎣🎣.

Vcompare our squad to man u. Mickey tarrion. Ibrahimovic. Rashford. Matic. Pogba. Herrera. Lukaku. that's depth. What if kante or bakayoko or morata get injured? We are about 5 players short. But we have been the most successful club so you got to trust the club.

well then it all boils down to the great work our docs are doing in the club, our injuries comes and goes as at when expected unlike some other club docs that have there other way round. I think we should vote the wost docs in the premiership, with emphasis on performance. I think asenal docs has my undisputable vote as the wost docs per performance in the league . yours?
