I think we need more steel and pace at our cb and Cdm matic is great at breaking up plays and shielding our defenders who are not that fast either and coupled with this we have good creative players who don't know how or when to make the right pass in the final 3rd or score a goal (willian). if our strikers have a bad day and matic is injured we struggle or lose we have gifted youths in our system (rlc baker ake THazard Bramford etc) we need to show some faith in our investment the best players aren't always outside.
1.) So you would prefer Bamford over Remy or Drogba? Or T.Hazzard over Willian or Salah? I would like to see youth given a chance, but to think they would come straight in and do the job is some what naive. They would need time to develop into the squad. It's about time we win the EPL and CL whilst other teams are in transition, we don't need another period of that ourselves.
2.) I get what you're saying, Blue, but yes I for one would prefer Thorgan Hazard over Salah. I'd prefer Atsu and Traore over Salah as they've got much better close control than Salah. And that close control is really important in our team to contribute to the attacking moves, especially in matches where we're likely to have a lot of possession.
And I'm a bit surprised that when Mikel went off Mourinho didn't trust Ake or RLC to play against a League 1 side. If he doesn't think Ake can handle that level, what game time will they ever get?
3.) Im not saying don't buy good players I would love to see progba reus and the works but but do we want another situation like matic where we end up buying a player back becuz we didn't give them enough chance to show the class they possess. i'm just saying find a balance. especially now when really have a whole bunch of gifted youths who are so desperate to please and work there socks off to make it in the team
4.) One_il - I agree with the sentiment however Matic is not an example of not being a chance. Matic was transformed into the player he is now due to Benfica selling Javi Garcia. Jorge Jesus played him as a DM following Garcia's sale, a position he hadn't played in before. over that season he became a key player for them in the new position. We absolutely have the talent knocking on the door, I'd hope the very brightest talents get the opportunities they deserve (Brown, Baker, RLC, Boga, etc.) but I won't gold my breath. I hope I'm wrong!
5.) Josh mcceachran. a prime example once extremely highly rated but you keep sending the kids to play in the championship they'll never make it to the prem out of all big teams us and city are the worst when it comes to developing players look at utd arsenal and Liverpool and they all have youths they have developed who do we have?
sadly we never seem to be able to develop our youths

I really think baker is ready for 1st team next season. He is so gifted he has pass technique free kicks great passing and he is two-footed a real rare quality to have rlc not bad either but I think Baker should be given a chance such potential shouldn't be stifled what you think guys
