Taking the talk away from him not starting, I'd be interested in seeing how a Kambwala and Martinez partnership looks at some point over the next couple of years. Feel like it's really well balanced.
I would like that as well, in theory. The caveat is that I hope we also manage to strengthen our CB positions by the next two seasons to the point where it is not really reasonable to expect Kambwala to be a regular go-to choice at 21/22, which is a young age for a CB normally.
I myself have quite a bit of patience with results when I see us giving youngaters a chance. Unfortunately, I concede that there is a large part of our fans base who will not accept those results, and it will just lead to new manager sackings or public hysteria affecting the players. It’s a vicious circle.
So I hope, in spite of my own preferance, that we will not see more than one or two of Garnacho, Mainoo, Amad, Kambwala, Højlund on the pitch at the same time on a regular basis, regardless of who is manager. Not for two or three years at least.
