i'd forgotten about the KJA situation, hopefully that goes in our favour, interesting 1 about casilla, its true we have a lot of good young GKs in our squad, meslier miazek caprille huffer, will be interesting to see what happens there, in terms of a cheap 2nd option, maybe carson, or even BPF if burnley arent using him

i would break the bank (to a certain degree) on white, hes young english and excellent doing Marcelos style.

in terms of our best young talent, english wise youve got huffer hosannah davis casey cresswell phillips (captain and he came through academy) shackleton stevens poveda edmondson (yes i know poveda is eligible for columbia) , now if that u23 lineup played an u23 match, it would beat almost any u23 team going, you could even put harrison in there (kp would be the 1 overage player allowed), i really like the balance between youth and experience in our squad now. in terms of foreign young talent its meslier miazek caprille struijk and bogusz amongst others, its really good how theyre doing right now, i hope we sort out the youth coaching going forward coz CC was a good coach. Maybe promote jacko to u23s, or even a cheeky approach to simon grayson or neil redfearn, both would work well imo.

i really would keep all the seniors from this season, theyve done what no other squad could do, they deserve a season in the PL, when i say seniors that would be casilla meslier ayling dallas douglas alioski cooper white berardi phillips forshaw klich hernandez costa harrison shackleton bamford roberts, if all were fit i think that more often than not would be our 18 when benches get back to normal

i agree we need to find the next hernandez for when pablo retires, but bring him in as pablos magic understudy, hopefully we will soon :-)
