Help?;2967033 said:Since Pre-Roman days to be exact. I guess that's what happens when you make your team dependent on spending money and then suddenly cut off the cash supply.
Help?;2967041 said:When you don't spend it wouldn't show right away right. Arsenal's bench was more dangerous than yours??????!!!!?!?!?! Even if your youth excelled... you still didn't buy anybody with decent experience to help through.

Zakov;2967034 said:The idea of blending youth is good actually but we had to replace the players we let go and we didn't to any extent.
Zakov;2967053 said:First of all our youth hasn't excelled, at least to what the club expected, apart from McEachran. Its been a painfully slow process. Kakuta's contract is sorted out, hopefully he could keep his head down and work his way through.
and I did say...
Replacing players probably equals to buying players but to elaborate further, I thought we approached it the wrong way. We should've considered our options before letting go players who served us well in the past.
Deco and Belletti wanted to leave for personal reasons, Ballack definitely wanted to stay and I would take him over Ramires anytime now. -_-
We definitely should've replaced or swapped Carvalho looking back. What difference it would make if it weren't Ferreira in CB against Sunderland.
But then again, hindsight is always 20/20.
I thought Benayoun getting injured was unfortunate because he definitely looked like he was capable of contributing more than Joe Cole had last season.
Mandieta6;2967059 said:To be fair, Josh hasn't exactly excelled. Although he's clearly got talent and is being bled in nicely. But when our entire bench is comprised of youth players, we need them to step up, and there's no reason for them to carry that burden. We should've spent more, or held onto some players.
Oh, Wilkins fiasco is most definitely a key factor.
