For me its the best time since Roman first took over. There's whole new feel to the club and it's coming from Frank and the young players.I'm naturally a pesimistic person but i'm getting more optimisic about our future with each game. Lampard as manager and a clear youth development plan.
Pulisic (21), Abraham (22), Mount (20), Tomori (21), James (19), RLC (23), CHO (18), Christensen (23). Some of those have incredible experience already. In fact we only have 4 players over the age of 30 in the whole squad.
Add into all of the above the fact that come the summer we could have the best part of £200-300m to spend, if we wanted. (Combination of players sold, lack of expenditure this year plus next years sales, CL football)
It's a good time to be a blue...
I can't see where we need to invest £250m. Who would you buy? I wouldn't go near Neymar and Mbappe is now picking up injuries. I think the best thing to do is take stock at the end of the season and carry on scouting for quality young players. If the scouts identify the next best thing, like finding the new Hazard, yes we should spaff £60m but maybe we already have that player.
This season will be seminal and the potential of certain young players will either materialise or not. If Frank fails and we end up lower than mid table we may have problems attracting good young players but at the moment I can't see that happening.
