Absolutely not mate. Ofcourse we want some homegrown in the line up, but on the other hand, it's the big leagues now so some emotion needs taking out of it. Imo Lads like Luke will get limited game time if indeed he stops, Dan I can see playing and patto deserves a shot. However, it's clear that the powers that be aren't messing about so we will have to see I suppose. But no, you're not wrong to want some of the local lads to have a chance.
If we have got Sadiki, I don't see the need for Guendouzi, and at that price, I'd rather we spent the money elsewhere on other positions.
What's with Neil and this new challenge... is learning French and playing Premier League not new enough like?
Def wouldn't just discard them, some will step up with us and really kick on with us but we got to the PL by having to be ruthless. When we got promoted from L1 some couldn't make the step up to where we wanted to go (Gooch, Wright, DB, pritchard) so we sold them. Plenty of last seasons squad will play a huge part this season, but the step up is huge so it's natural that we have to bring in quality players to compliment what we've got
Anyone think Mcatee from City would be someone who’d fit the profile of what we’re looking for? Available for £25m apparently, not seen loads of him but thought he was very impressive in the U21 Euros
