If FFP is actually incentivising teams to sell their youth players is that not a major flaw with it?

Quite pleased with the midfield rebuild, plenty of exciting options now, with the chance to add to it next year when Thiago leaves.
Just can't understand what they're doing with the defence though - 7 senior options. If everything goes according to plan, we are good enough to compete with anyone. We have 5 great attacking options (plus Doak!), the best GK in the world, legs in midfield, but they've decided to leave themselves short at the back. Game 3 of the season and we have Quansah coming onto the pitch. Game 4 and we will be starting with Gomez and Matip already. With EL games them 2 will be looking to play almost weekly leading up to Christmas, with a LC run too. I wouldn't expect that to end well. Gomez is covering RB as well, with the only other recognised RB to back Trent up being a 20 year old who has never played in the league for us, and is injured himself until at least October.
We have a great group of players and I wouldn't swap the manager for anyone. They just need a little more help. One more left sided CB would make all the difference in this squad. Hopefully I'm crying for nothing and we go on to have a successful season, I just don't think they're giving themselves the best possible chance to do so. And it's not like they haven't had past seasons to learn from!

Pretty much my thoughts on the situation. Feels like we've been so focused on the midfield that we've ended up sleepwalking into the same defensive issue we had a couple years back.
Will be frustrating if it ends up costing us this year because the rest of the squad is looking in great shape and, as we saw from the caicedo bid, we have the money to spend.

Hope we continue strong arming those murderous cunts over Salah btw. The Mbappe rejection was a positive start and then us rejecting them being silly hopefully means eventually we’re going to start seeing the momentum shift away from them

Manchester United are scum aren't they? Meant to be parting ways with Greenwood but now he's off to Getafe on loan after Lazio said no to him.

Could never have seen Henderson wanting out of Saudi after a few months. Destroyed his reputation for the sake of 5 wins in 5 months lol
