I meant we have 2 of our best prospects still to come and we are thinking of buying a lad who is a year older than josh onomah, then a player call Rabiot who is a year older than winks. I feel if both are true we seem to lack a long term plan which integrates our current youth and first team.
I think if poch believes either of them are good enough he'll play them regardless if we bought in other players!

Or maybe we are preparing for when Eriksen and Benaleb go to Madrid. Sorting out the production line.

We're talking about 18 and 19 year olds. Remember Mason is 23 and Carroll 22.

Remember also what happened to Bostock and Parratt

I don't think you understand what I mean, we should be signing players to bring though and help the players we have, I am not saying don't sign good young players. We only seem to be linked with 18-19yrs it's justwe need to sign the David's the Naybets types again to help our young players though in defence and midfield we have so much talent in the accademy, we have ball and Dier, and Milo's (defence ofpr midfield) in defence who would do well with a center back they can learn from and can get them though games would you trust them with . In midfield we have Stambouli, capoue, Paulinho, Dembele as our experience then mason, Bentalab, onomah, winks, Milo's, again where is there David's style player to learn from.

Yes we need young dynamic hungry players but we also need players they can learn from a team of 18-21yrs can't win the league with out know how, look how lampard has saved Man city's season we need a few winners with exp and another striker.

We have a lot of talent coming though no ones heard of I just think right now we need to plan to integrate what we have, I am all for signing good young players but so far cabye a side all I have seen is links to very young in exp players. When we have an accademy full of talent waiting to shine.

Hard to see the need in us signing both this kid and Rabiot. I do wonder if maybe the Rabiot camp has changed their mind per Rabiot's increasing playing time recently, as this would also fall in line with Lyall Thomas' line saying we're not close to making a deal with Rabiot. We also need HG players, so would be another incentive.

Just enrolled his daughter in a school in Merseyside apparently.
Utter nonsense. Noone in their right with access to that information would share it. Of all the things that could get you fired or worse the school enrollment details of children would be up there.

Mmmm that moment when you realise you're not aware of the gag!

FYI our resident Liverpool fan @Toela65 said he was itk on a Liverpool signing that never happened.. And this line was used.

Should I really have spoiled the fun?

Rabiot is by all accounts a DM and this kid an AM, so no conflict there. We also need to acquire and/or develop a couple of promising options for each position, not simply expect every good looking youth prospect to make it. And continue to use the loan system well. We shouldn't be blinded just because two or three have recently come through, it's highly unusual.
