Snowflake RoyalYorkshireRoyal99Snowflake Royal Think it's pretty clear that what I expect is us to target our priorities and use our resources as efficiently as possible. And not scapegoat or ignore decent young players.
I'd be perfectly happy to accept the club doing things differently and trust them if they had any record of getting it right. Rather than a record of getting it consistently wrong.
There is no evidence to suggest we are ignoring decent young players though. We are using our resources efficiently, we had 0 goalkeepers at the level the staff believed were good enough, so we have sorted that out now hopefully. We had numbers, but not quality at this moment in time.
The club now seem to be operating differently in the market though, based on who we have signed and who we have been linked with, which is surely a positive as we are looking to change our approach which has consistently been wrong. If this change still doesn't work, then fair enough, but you can't really judge without at least giving the recruitment team we have now an opportunity to rectify the issues.
Southwood and Andresson.
As mentioned below really. Southwood isn't as good as what is being made out to be by some anyway, if he was he wouldn't have lost his place and be deemed surplus to requirements. He can leave and if we can get a good sell on % or buy back price, that would represent a good deal for us.
I would much rather have Andresson go out on loan and get another 40+ games hopefully at L1 level and then we can see from there. Similar with CBC, potentially go out and get 40+ games in the league somewhere else and evaluate come the end of the season. It's not "overlooking" these players, it's just not considering those who perhaps are not ready to be thrown into our situation, which I'm happy with.
