Development Vs Impact

[AjaxAndy]

I think it's interesting to see the divided opinions on players like Barry and Alcaraz where some are willing to give them time and games to develop and others aren't seeing their potential and therefore not so keen.

What do people want us to be as a club? Would you sacrifice points for not only developing young players but then being more attractive to young players as a result, or would you happily just get a few plug and play types to kick us further on in the short term?

Personally I think providing they're willing to put the work in to develop and are at least giving us something half decent on the pitch I'd rather we stuck with them than limit their game time for a more experienced but ultimately short term fix.

I think with someone like Aznou the gains wouldn't be worth it at this stage, but others I'd rather finish 14th and continue to develop them than finish 9th with some loanee or low cost older player taking their game time.

Let's hear your opinions!

Absolutely happy to drop a few points for developing young players. The problem is like you say if you arent seeing the potential then they arent worth the sacrifice. Id play alcaraz. I think he contributes enough already. Barry I think needs replacing if we can. Hes not ready and for me probably never will be.
