Players like Dalot, Chong, Tuanzebe to name a few will not benefit from being in the squad as depth. Do you think Chong is anymore ready to be involved than he was a year ago? Dalot was suppose to be one of the top prospects when we bought him and the RB of the future, 1 year later, we’re buying his replacement after 20 appearances. Young should be the backup and Dalot given an legitimate opportunity. If he fails then replace him, but doing so before he’s even had a real chance is counterproductive to our buying youth strategy.
We're not buying Dalot's replacement. Dalot was brought in to replace Valencia. Young and Darmian are both leaving too (within a year) so we desperately need another RB. An experienced one at that. One that can help Dalot develop. Say we buy Meunier, here's what our situation will be in 2020:
LB: Shaw, Dalot, Laird?
RB: Meunier, Dalot, Laird?
Dalot will make plenty of appearances to continue his development while not being thrown in at the deep end.
