I don’t disagree with the idea of giving him some minutes but given we’re 10th in the league and desperate for points, when exactly? Do you know he’s good enough or just hoping he can’t be as shit as Xhaka and Ceballos?
End of the day I think anyone good enough would be playing, look at Saka. If any kid should be getting a chance it should be a young left back while Tierney is out (but I’d still prefer Saka or Xhaka there tbh).
The club needs revolution not evolution, IMO. You bring these players through and if they are not quite good enough you move them on and bring the next one in.
We are literally going nowhere with the likes of Xhaka in the team.
We can't afford to buy a team that will compete, so a top-class development system is badly needed.
If these guys don't get chances from the U23 team, what is the point of the U23 team?
