    On a serious note are midfield will be aging a lot in 1-2 years

    Good job we've got Jones!
    They were discussing him a few minutes back on the radio. Apparently he hasn't made more than 25 league appearances on average over the last three seasons, as well as a fair few less in Europe.

    We seem to have had at least one injury prone player for many years.

    Aquaman, Aurellio, Shaqiri, Matip, Sturridge etc

    We are the only team that have players that have a player or 2 who struggles to remain fit. In modern football its very hard physically to remain free of injury for long periods. Most players carry knocks and tweaks.. The likes of Shaqiri and Sturridge couldn't manage it physically their bodies wont allow it.

    Our u18 / u23 players need competitive football.

    Brewster , Williams, Kane, Cain, Jones, Elliott, Hoever, Van den Berg , Larouci and others.

    It is a big step up and high risk .

    Gomez is a good player.

    But as in every season and every club there is always a scapegoat player.

    Gomez is the new Kuyt.

    Michael Edwards is excellent at selling players.

    We need to get as many of the quality-but-not-quite-enough players out there playing for other teams so more purchases of our Youth occurs.

    The little "sets" of £8m here, £12m there can really stack up terribly, terribly quickly.

    There is certainly that element too.

    I would imagine agent fees are done in one-off payments, meaning that once you pay an an agent for the renewal of a longer contract, you don't have to pay them for a while, meaning there will be some windows where money is more fluid.

    It's a massive annoyance what happens with agents, but I would rather have to pay the £30m per year or whatever it is than see Mane go to Real Madrid / Van Dijk go to City etc before we actually WANT to let them go - the better components of our side are so invaluable.

    Alaba is entering the final year of his contract.

    If he runs that down, someone could get an absolutely brilliant bit of business done by adding him to their squad.

    Been at Bayern a long time and could genuinely fancy a new challenge. Very versatile player.

    Get him in as a centre back to replace Lovren?
