Are we now shining players just for the Under 21s ? Regardless of whether we think they will really make the grade in the Premier League.
Is this a distraction from the club's real priority of staying in the Premier League ?
I think the answer to both questions is 'maybe'. We need to be careful Not to take our eye off the ball, so to speak. |  |

I can see what you mean, but with he standard of teams our under 21's play seemingly a lot higher this season, surely it means that the lads who do well have a better chance of stepping up? |  | | |

Recruitment for the u21's isn't overseen by Monk. So the 'taking our eye off the ball' isn't a factor, really. |  | | |

We are signing a lot of players for out u-21s but as others have explained and discussed before, we are doing so because our Academy structure is developing and we need a competitive u-21 team. We'll keep signing these players with potential to help do that, and if they show signs that they might make the grade then great. If not, then it's a minor gamble that hasn't paid off.
I am confused by this notion that this is some how "a distraction from the club's real priority of staying in the Premier League ?". Yes, the club are investing heavily in the Academy structure, because it's vitally important to our future as a club, regardless of what league we're in. But has it stopped Monk from signing players he wants for the first team? Has it affected our pre-season preparation in any way? Has there been some indication that the club is not being run properly because Jenkins is now spending all his time trying to sign up players for the u-21s? I'm sorry, I just don't get where you are coming from on this. |  |

Fair comment. Promotion to the second tier of the U21 tree will need better players.
Just don't want us preoccupied signing u21 and youths to the detriment of other stuff. Having said that, hopefully the recent shuffling of U21 and youth setup is designed to ensure it doesn't impinge elsewhere.
Btw, am I correct that although we are now Cat. 1.we still aren't going to be playing the really top sides like ManU and Chelsea U21? | |

Are we sure if that. It would seem to me that Gary is involved at all levels.
Whatever the situation it seems we are trying to get a conveyor belt going where we bring youngsters through to the first thereby saving in transfer fees. It is a big ask but it is impressive how we are casting our net far and wide. Seems like our scouting system is on the ball. The truth will be know when / if the new recruits make the grade. |  |

We will be playing Arsenal, Newcastle, West Ham, West Brom, Stoke and Villa so I wouldn't say that we are playing duds.
Good luck to Oliver. |  | | |

We have pretty much already signed players for the first squad (unless anyone leaves) so now that we had done our main business we are now free to look at youth prospects aswell.
Like people have said we are now category 1 status so we need to improve our youth squad. And who knows some might become like barrow, grimes and fulton. Making their way into the first squad.
I don't think monk has much to do with the youth setup. They have their own managers and I'm sure the board are the ones looking into new players.
As we have done our transfer business already I don't understand how looking at improving youth will be bad for us or a distraction. | | | |

Does anyone here have any inkling of who will be our next first team squad signing?
Equally how many additional players are in the marketplace for?
To be fair to HJ he has worked his usual magic so far. When does the window close? |  |

I don't think we will buy any first team players unless we sell any.
If britton leaves I wouldn't be surprised if we get fulton involved more. As cover for cork. And also looking at Ki-Shelvey partnerships sometimes. So we might still not sign anyone.
When signing Eder I beleive there was an article with Beattie saying that we will maybe get 1 more player in. Unless we sell anyone I can't imagine us signing anymore first 11 type players but more like squad cover.
Window closes end of August I think. | | | |
