Yep. Whilst I’ve no huge opinion on Illing Jr, this seems to be a problem area and blind spot for us.

Exactly I’m more on that thought process … I mean he is a U21 England player and by all accounts had good loans….Could have found some time in Europa surely? And has to be a better bench option than what we have put out… But as per your point…never really seen him play myself..so no major opinion

None of the 3 players involved in the Luiz jiggery pokery are at their clubs any more. What a waste of time for everyone.

I'm losing track. What, for example, had happened to the young Turkish CB we signed in advance?

It’s with a view to selling them on for a profit. The game is less about playing games and enjoyment, more about meat market.

I’m sure Garcia, Malen and Maatsen have felt like that, let alone the other youngsters.

Yup. It needs to start being more about "Sign for us, go on loan to a carefully selected club to get you first team football for a year or two, then come in an integrate with the first team squad" If we're literally just buying them to flip them for a small profit, how about just not signing them
