URZZZZ I rarely agree with chucking youngsters in because so often it causes unnecessary pressure on the shoulders of them. But Olise is one of the most gifted youngsters we’ve had in a long time. He needs to be in the XI

^^^thisHound yeah regular appearances off the bench and then hopefully if that goes well, a spot in the first 11 over the course of the season. Would certainly have him on the bench at a minimum though

Snowflake Royal Yes. Would mean a big squad again though. The bench should certainly be decent!
Rafael
Yiadom, Miazga, Moore, Blackett
Rinomhota, Pele
Meite, Swift, Barrow
Joao
Walker, Morrison, McIntyre, Adam, Boye, Novakovich, Olise/Loader/Baldock

Disagree it would be big - we would have 2 players per outfield position backed up by a group of talented Academy players who know there is a path way if they good enough. Healthy competition without too many players (if any) being an unsettling influence if they aren't in the squad.
Feels about the right size.

If Ejaria was still possible, would you add him in? I think a path needs to be left open for Olise.

From Despair To Where? Much as I'd like to see Ejaria return, I'm not entirely sure we need him now.
Although you can question the signing of specific individuals, for once, we appear to be recruiting as per need.

Zip If Joao, Pele and Rafael do sign there is going to be a distinctive Iberian/Latin American feel to the side especially when you add on Boyé into the mix. It will be down to Gomes to get them to gel with the rest of the squsd.
I don’t think many of us expected eight signings this summer. It will impact upon the amount of playing time our Academy boys get. So I have mixed feelings. Having said that the squad was light on experienced players.
Personally I would send Virginia back to Everton. Either that or sell Walker.
