I fully understand the buy young and sell at a profit policy. It makes perfect financial sense for a club like us to try to operate on that regenerated income.

But.

It come a time when things have to happen now, not in 2-3 years when these players reach/show real potential. We desperately need PL (or similar league) experienced players. Young players can't learn from other young players.

We've missed out on some reasonably priced PL quality players, with Ben Mee being my personal disappointment.

We've bought some youth in, but now please not let us look for the next Ings, Iheanacho, Winks etc - just go and get them in, we need them now!

After listening to the fans forum last week, I'm not sure its experience we need. It's leadership. Obviously, the players who show the best leadership qualities are generally more experienced. We a few players who can help the youngsters develop and learn and lead them on the pitch. This is what we had with Fonte, and look at his track record of who he's played with: VVD, Alderweireld, who he helped develop. And the latest defender being Botman.

Just seen Romeu linked to a move away. He is one of our most experienced PL players, so that would have to be replaced.

If he does go, please bring in Harry Winks not another kid from a big 6 club. We need experience.

Saintjay - I see your point. We do lack leadership on the pitch. Again I was disappointed Ben Mee didn’t get snapped up. Experienced PL Captain - no brainer.

We probably lost our leadership. when Hojberg left. Who is out there that could a job for us?

I think the only leader is JWP, but his leadership comes from how be performs on the pitch and not egging the team on. I think Bazunu could become that player, but I think he needs a leader in defence to give him confidence.

I'm not too sure if there are many leaders in our squad or even in the league.

Mee/Tarkowski/Coady would've been exactly what we needed.
