There are certain positions where you can get by with youth as backup, FB being one but Id hate to have to rely on an 18yo for a few months at CF, CB or CM (but we are ok there). As for bedding them in, it goes back to me hating buying old player, we are going to have to do the exact same thing next season no matter what division we are in, Derry, Dunne, Hill, Zamora plus a few others will be gone so thats 5 replacements before we even try to improve the squad.
We have 4 forwards, 1 is ok, 1 is horrendously injury prone, 1 is injured all season and is awful, the other is totally untested. 4 forwards are in the match day squad meaning we need 6 of them to cover injuries or suspension. There will be a time when 2 or 3 of those are out leaving no one on the bench or maybe only able to play 1 up front.
Oh for f-k sake.. Its easy Bring back Tarbs from his loan. He's the best player on the planet, doesn't need anyone else to help him out AND will single handedly win us the league Isn't that right fella's..?!!....simples Col will tell ya !
