As I say….minimal impact to the first team (apart from Maddison I would say).

What are you even arguing? You made a comment that we were buying youth that wouldn't make an immediate impact. I pointed out we have made plenty of 'PL ready players'. Do you have an issue with our policy, or with our targets?

I’m not arguing. Somebody listed names of existing prem players we’d signed (might have been you). And I said, “like I say, no real impact on the first team” (or similar).

My original point was that we’d been a bit too youthy with our signings - think most would acknowledge that. Even the club did.

My second point after the follow up was more tongue in cheek as I realised our experienced prem signings haven’t really delivered either. But they were intended to.

Do I have a problem with our policy? I think we left ourselves very light on experience going into a season with 4 competitions. Our league position clarifies that as were unable to be competitive (even after the injuries) as we focused our main players on one competition.

As I said in my follow up. Some balance is needed. Bergval, Gray, Vilez, Vuskovic, Yang, Odobert, Philips. We’re north of £100m there which economically won’t hurt us in the long run. But none of them were intended to make an impact straight away so it left us short.

I noticed on Sky yesterday we were listed as the 4th biggest spenders over 2 years (something like £400m) and 3rd biggest net spenders (something like £200m). A lot of that has gone on youth.

We left ourselves massively short on experience
