Subject: Agree. In higher level European football we'd need 3+ readymade pros just to be able to compete on all fronts. And what do you do with that bigger squad if you drop out early? This season we've been hampered by the League Cup exit denying Sess, Cuenca, King, Godo (I.e. our young core) game. If we are to get into Europe, I'd be happier with the Conference League so that we can use that to blood in these guys + 2-3 other young players
In reply to: The Man With No Name 's message, "The weakest aspect is that, Josh King apart, there are no players in the academy who look to be EPL quality. Certainly not now or any time soon. Most EPL clubs seem to have several. We send ours out on loan and they don't do remotely well enough. I reckon we'd need four or five extra prem quality recruits to manage European football." on Sunday, March 09, 01:35:08pm

  • Think that is a valid question, I suspect some of it lies again with PSR and how big teams are prioritising youth teams. Arsenal, Chelsea, city etc hoover up so much of the very best talent now, 10 years ago they weren’t as bothered as could buy themselves ready made players, now they see it as profit for PSR as well as adding to first team. Palace have a couple, but not like the days of Moses, Zaha, AWB, further evidence PSR is putting a moat up around the big teams.
