But since that injury which was fairly minor if i recall where has he been? not even close to getting in to a squad
I have no beef with Koeman i want him to stay, and i have no problem with not picking the youth but surely there is someone in teh youth team better than some of the players on our benchHe perhaps could have made the bench.
He's bigger, stronger and playing better than he did last season but Koeman isn't interested in the youth. He could be in the squad instead of Ramerez or Juami but Koeman would prefer to buy in rather than risk youth. Not saying that the U21s are better but until they train with the first team and get the opportunity on the pitch how will we know?But since that injury which was fairly minor if i recall where has he been? not even close to getting in to a squad
People saying we need a striker - agreed - but in my opinion we are also crying out for some more creativity out wide/in midfield. Get a Mane replacement in now and it gives them time to settle!
Shelvey, Townsend, Austin, Byram, Berahino all up for grabs , all english and all no doubt wanting to impress before euro 2016!!! Id certainly look at some of these.
Loan Townsend til the end of the season if it works out swap him for wanyama (who clearly wont sign a new deal)

Austin I'm undecided on. We need goals, but I've kept thinking he wasn't for us, so I'm not sure what I think!
Shelvey I mentioned last week... Interesting.
Bryam would be interesting too. I've only seen bits and bobs.
Berahino is an undoubted talent but is he going to make the dressing room worse?
Townsend. Mmm Inlike to think of him as AnDROSS....
Not got a problem with youth players not being picked my problem is the stack of ****e squad players on the bench that are in their way, if top quality players are bought in not 1 saints fan would complain about the youth not playing. Unless ofcourse there was a Bale in the youth not getting in , which there isn'tTypical contradictions against Ron and the board.
Complaints that we're not playing enough youth. Followed by complaints about why we've not signed a striker and we should buy more players.
Players that would put a further gap between the youth and the first team
Oh yes juanami, forgot about him. Has it been mentioned that he did the square root of **** all on sat?

Because he sucks.Still dont understand why we didnt resign Elia
RamirezStack? - we have one of the lightest squads in the league
Ramirez
Juanmi
Caulker
Yoshida
Gardos
Martina
Stekelenburg
I think thats a decent stack
Fair enough although you could argue he is blocking Gazzanigga who i think is betterI don't think you can include Stekkers. He is only here because of Fraser's injury. Without that we'd have hd to spend a lot of money on a keeper. He's covering our no.1, not really being part of a pile. I'm not saying you have to like him but he's not here taking space of a kid on the bench like some of the others mentioned; he is our temporary number 1.
Ramirez - The club have tried to shift him for two years now. We've all heard enough of the Gaston debate
Juanmi - if an academy player gets a chance then I hope you give them more time than you've afforded this lad
Caulker - only two senior CBs (Fonte/Yoshida) when he arrived and with potential Europa league campaign. Was a good loan move
Yoshida - he drops the odd bollock, but has shown to be a decent centre back/squad player
Gardos - injured all season
Martina - even the u21s don't have a recognised right back
Stekelenburg - as FLT says. Only here whilst Forster is injured as Gazzaniga had chances last season to earn his spot and failed
I think thats a decent stack
