The exact opposite of what Curbs said was needed after the Oxford defeat.IR94 said:another younger player, not many experienced pros in our squad1 -
going against the grain of course but I actually think the window has been pretty good ( yes a lack of experience ) but I’d say the player level has been pretty good , once we get Fraser , Camara & Leaburn fit with these others players we’ll be sweet.2
-
I think this window has actually been ok relative to previous. The problem is it’s been completely dwarfed by our expectations at the start. That’s partly a comms issue0

Yeah that's the one, Charlton life would of gone into meltdown if we signed Erling HaalandCafcWest said:From all the comments/moans about signing "youngsters" it's a good job we didn't sign Erling Haaland then as he's only 23...would have been a meltdown.3 -
There is no question that the club is now focusing on youth, even with incomings, loans or permanent. The phrase you win nothing with youth players, might well be true but it's worth looking at fees paid in the last few years and the wages that accompanies those signings. It's also worth looking at squads that achieved promotion in this modern era. I'm sure that someone on here has the stats for both Bowyer and Chris Powell's squad but I don't believe that either of those squads had the same age average age. There is one standout in both those squads though, they both goalscorers, Powell's squad had two, which is why, in my opinion they won the league, Bowyers team had one, which I believe is why they made the playoffs and not the top two. Whatever signings we bring in we must have a threat in the forward line and because of the injury to Leaburn and the slow reaction to not only replacing him, but bringing in an experienced striker, we have yet to start the season and the owners are now having to play catch up.0

There's a difference between a 23 year old that has probably played well over 100 top flight games by the age of 23 and someone who has played a handful of games in the lower leagues12 -
all these double names in the squad, the Watsons, the Taylors & Campbells reminds me of the time we had two Kocs - one was that Turkish lad with the unfortunate first name & the other was Lyle Taylor28

Would it not be best to actually see these new signings play for us before we make a decision on how good this window has been...no I do not know CM or any of the others 🥴3

Are our youngsters good enough to play in academies for Man City and the Italian top flight?PopIcon said:
But our kids aren't good enough. I have no doubt that Anderson, Asiimwe and Ness will get better, but are they top seven good enough?lawhite said:It blows my mind… why are we signing kids on loan, we when enough kids of our own already in the team!!!Where are the tried and tested league one senior players who are able to help us push on..
Alfie May must be thinking what the help have I joined!!
i haven't seen any of our new signings play (or remember them) but they are older than our youngsters that are currently playing and all come from top flight clubs.0 - Sponsored links:

I’ve only seen people asking perfectly valid questions of the signings we’re making. If you’re happy with it then good for you, but ‘not those signings’ is really not an unreasonable thing to say if you think the quality of players isn’t good enough to get us promoted, is it?Off_it said:

Yes that's true enough. Think I'm just getting worn down by all the negativity. We just need to see what happens on the pitch before passing judgement.Jac_52 said:CafcWest said:From all the comments/moans about signing "youngsters" it's a good job we didn't sign Erling Haaland then as he's only 23...would have been a meltdown.

We'll be playing youth players until the end of August again - and the cycle continues.6 -
Shut up with this shit. It does my fucking head in. It doesn’t even make sense.Off_it said:"Sign more players."
"No, not those players."Yes, we need to sign players, but ideally they would be good enough.Let me give you an example:
‘Sign a striker’
*Club signs Bonne*‘No. Not that one.’
What’s the problem?If it was ‘Sign ANY striker. No not that one’ you might have a point.11 -
He was so unproven before he went to City as well. A real gamble for City and complete comparable to us signing players on loan that have barely played a senior game.CafcWest said:From all the comments/moans about signing "youngsters" it's a good job we didn't sign Erling Haaland then as he's only 23...would have been a meltdown.

As it stands we can play 2 full XI's without fielding an injured player, which is a step forwards at least.IstedJones Hector ThomasAsiimwe Dobson Anderson EdunT. Campbell May Blackett-TaylorMaynard-BrewerElerewe Abankwu NessT.Watson Taylor L.Watson Kirk
C.Campbell Kanu JaiyesimiYes, the second XI is even more shite than the already shite first XI, but at least we have the bodies, and that's without the new Striker, Camara, Fraser, Leaburn, McGrandles and Aneke (stop sniggering at the back) in it.
343 with wingers cutting in to shoot and wing backs overlapping is the way forwards!3 -

Perhaps when the regime said they wanted promotion they meant for the the U21 side and the senior side can do one (too expensive to even try).0

Played one game, didn't score. I think he's been injuredLTKapal said:How's Stockton been doing since his move out of interest?

The truth is. If this Man City player comes in, We are well stocked on numbers, potentially with a really talented starting XI and strong bench… but with so many loans and kids, I think we will struggle with consistency badly.
I reckon there will be games where it all clicks and we’ll win by 4/5 but then they’ll be too many where we come up against a Steve Evans Stevenage type side who’ll bully and frustrate us and we’ll lose 1-0.
If we’d started with the squad it looks like we’ll have after tonight, maybe we’d be play off contenders. But without a manager and already on the back foot in the league I think it’ll be asking too much of this young group.6 -

That's not the point and you know it.CafcWest said:From all the comments/moans about signing "youngsters" it's a good job we didn't sign Erling Haaland then as he's only 23...would have been a meltdown.
Slightly different signing a 22 year old with 3 seasons & 50 goals under his belt to a 21 year old with just a handful of games.
How old was Bowyer when he left us for Leeds ? Plenty of experience in those 2 seasons I'd say.4
