The People's Forum: Couldn't agree more

I just think that there are now some promising young players to base our gradual improvement around.

We will still need to recruit sensibly, but the thought that we might no longer have to rely upon the one-paced likes of Gomes, Gbamin, Delph, Tosun, Sigurdsson (would keep if he wasn't made out of rice paper) etc. and instead have a core of younger, hungrier, more mobile players, is cause for cautious optimism.

Obviously there are a lot of unknowns and FFP to contend with, but assuming we will lose a few this for cash: Richarlison, Mina and maybe Allan (pure guess work, of course), and then bring in a few new faces, I can't help but be at least a little optimistic about the potential of a first XI that then includes:

Pickford

Patterson
Mykolenko
Godfrey (still lots of improvement to come from him, I think)

Iwobi (Yes, Iwobi. Who'd have thought it?)
Dele

Gordon
DCL

A new commanding solid centre half and two dynamic, high energy, technically decent midfielders and there's a first XI for the future starting to develop.
