Alejandro Garnacho (out) | Chelsea make enquiries

[dubplate warrior]

Keep seeing the same thing over and over again. “He’s not that good” “He doesn’t fit the system.” “50m is more than enough to get someone else.”

Who may I ask is out there that’s 1) young, 2) not injury prone 3) knows this system and 4) available for what we can afford?

Garnacho clearly doesn't fit into the system.

But I agree without replacing him for pace we'd be worse off. Best to entertain bids in the summer where we can replace him.

I reckon Ruben has had a look at some of our youth and will decide to promote them.

They need to be good enough for starters and, I could be wrong, there's no obvious candidate in the youth sides who warrants a promotion at the present.

Anyway, unless it's a absolute necessity, I don't think Amorim is going to promote many reserve players in the immediate future . If the funds are available, Amorim will bring In instant first team players.

I think the youth teams will take a backseat for the time being in Ruben's mind. The first team is the priority.

I think he’ll definitely promote some youth as well, but I can’t imagine the club selling someone as high profile as Garnacho for a large fee and not bringing at least one new body in.

 

[Zumbi]

Zero indication of that happening so far

He’s already promoted four academy players to first team training. Just because they haven’t hit a match day squad yet doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

Eventually some youngsters will be tried, like all the previous managers did

 

[Red in STL]

What if we sack the manager? We spend £100m on a replacement as the new manager wants to play 433?

Well we'll be no worse off because that's what we've done for the last decade

I agree we need ready starters, but if we don't buy anyone, and only sell/loan some of our first team squad, we won't even be able to fill a match whole match squad.

He already has Collyer, Thwaites, Moorehouse, Kukonki and few others training with the main team. Collyer and Kukonki have already made match squads (I believe) and Collyer has come on as sub. All are impressive players and I can see some of these make their debuts if we don't buy in Jan, and only let some players leave on loan.

If I were a United fan I would be hurt to see him go because Garnacho is a very proming youngster. I think it woud be a mistake to sel him.

[Scholsey2004]

I agree we need a wingback, but we would still need to replace Garnacho.

In that sense then, yeah of course. He'd probably bring in the right kind of fee to pay for Mendes, if we could convince him.

Don't read too much into that. There's a handful of youngsters in first team training before every match and they're often not the same kids. A lot of the time it'll be about experience for the kids or simply to make up the numbers for training matches.
