Completely agree. I always felt that objective 1 was to keep this amazingly talented young squad - which we did. I expect them to get better again this season.
Finding players to rival the first team was always going to be hard and would have cost us too much with the new stadium. The tactic has clearly been to look at promising youth and potentially pick up good older players on contracts which are running down.
I'm very happy with the window.
I have no idea what JJ is on about..

Didn't require Pace so going for Hale instead
We announced FL yet![]()
OK...I'd worked out a possible Barkley connection. Saves me the embarrassment!Andre Gomes
Hale? What the flerking shnit.... ?
Liverpool play counter attack and rely on pace over the top. We play with build up and therefore have no room to run into. What we need is players who have fast feet and skill and can beat a player from a standing start much like Dembele, Barkley or a modric type.
Of course the player has to have skill and technique in addition to pace. That works in ANY system. Pace by itself we all know doesnt really help, no one here is advocating to sign Usain Bolt. The player does not have to play wide exclusively, so don't understand that comment. If we are ever gonna win anything we need our own Mane, Sanchez, Hazard type. Someone who can do the extraordinary. Or is Bale just a forgotten memory of what he was capable of doing for us on his own ?
DebatebleYoung uns, no absolutely nothing
Hale and Pace were a comedy duo during the late 80s, early 90s
