Oh it will happen as i understand testing is twice a week. Lots of prem teams have big squads so we will just have to utilise the u23s. Games must go ahead to ease peoples boredom and frustrations.
Drameh, Greenwood, Gelhardt, Rodrigo and Koch all arriving with big reputations and big cash being splashed (albeit better value apparently). De Paul and Gvardial in the same category. The other thing they all have in common? I’ve never heard of any of them until the last couple of weeks Really hope Victor and IBWT have these signings spot on, if they have exciting times if not, as Eric said, I hope we are watertight on contracts if things don’t work out. Finally, I think in the 18/19 season Bielsa gave debuts to 7 youngsters (you probably know the figure or could research - I have an apathy problem when it comes to looking things up). More came through last season but with less opportunities - hope that doesn’t totally dry up or what is the point in investing in the youth?
Koch and Rodrigo are world class players, you don't play for Spain and Germany if you're not world class. Gelhardt is a good young player, with Bielsa's input I think this will be his breakthrough season.
The UK overpriced player raises its head again because Arsenal wanted way too much money for Rob Holding so Bielsa said no and Orta pulled the plug. Holding will go to Newcastle now. Bielsa says realistic prices overseas
