Neto is just an example though. If that's not possible you get another similar profile and age to him. Instead we got someone 6 years younger. We went from going for a starter to a potential future starter.
But what if the manager prefers the younger player as he fits the exact profile of player he wants?
Everyone is speculating that Ange has been left short and that the club/Lange/Levy have signed kids despite Ange wanting more experience. But you really don’t know how much influence he had on that strategy.
He has consistently talked about building something sustainable in the long term. Filling the squad with young players. That every player signed is his responsibility.
It just seems to me that fans aren’t willing to accept the short term growing pains that go with developing a young squad, but maybe Ange understands this is a long term project so can take a few bumps in the road.
