Lol, I beat you to it.

Foden, Tosin, Garcia, Diaz. They are all young and they are all starting to get more minutes. They will get even more as we coast through the remainder of the premier league season. If a player is good enough, there is a path to the first team. It might not be as quick as the player would like, but there is a path.


The club's track record says other wise

How about we compare results?


Youth team results?? Are pointless if you players never make into the first team.

Regardless our youth teams are very successful. This year the U-23s not so good though.

Those four current academy players have all played first team minutes this season. I would imagine that these four, plus more, will play considerably more minutes moving forward this season. You don't think so?

I was talking about first team results for this season. My point being that the whole idea is to win games, not see who fields the most players from their academy. We are making progress in both the quality of the players we buy relative to their value and the quality of players we are producing (even if they aren't making it into our first team).

Best manager in the world almost half a billion spent in 18 months of course you have good results. If you keep spending like you have since 2008 the kids will never get a real chance.

As a United fan I'm not sure how you drop this line with a straight face. Is your face straight right now? You spent almost 200m on Pogba and Lukaku alone.

Man U needs to hire a younger coach who is slightly more forward thinking. If I was Man U, I would spend as much as I could to get Poch. His teams are so good at positioning. He's getting close to his ceiling at Spurs, although who knows how much the new stadium could add to their finances in such a way that they could compete.

Given that Conte is likely gone as well, I'd imagine numerous big clubs would be eager for his services. I think he stays at Tottenham for a while longer, until PSG decides to use Qatar's defense budget to hire him.

That would be a legit concern too. Cause they’re used to throwing money at every problem. And he is someone that builds a system and a strong team where guys like Neymar are a luxury and not necessarily someone to build around. Would be a fun clash of minds
