And he hasn't implemented them angry

Actually he has... Off my memory, I've seen him:

1. Pull off Ronaldo chops (used that to skin Trent Alexander-Arnold against Liverpool)

2. Score Ronaldoesque Knuckle Ball freekicks (against Celta Vigo and Cardiff) and

3. Used 'snakebite' to skin Nathan Ake before assisting Pogba against Bournemouth.

Rashford is not a bad player.

The only problem with Rashford is you don't know whether you'll get Rashfordinho or you'll get Marcus Rashbeck when you see him on the pitch.

What annoys me most is this knack he has of always wanting to be on the scoresheet. He can be in a good position to pass or send in a cross but more often than not, he'd rather shoot than from the corner flag and try to score.

Tiki taka aside, there's a reason why City always score bucket loads of goals. They pass pass pass around the box till they find the best man in a good scoring position. U wont see them trying to shoot from 30 yards

What was our achievement when those that left were still in this team, Most of this players you listed are either from Academy or during Fergie era apart from Shaw.
We bought Fred, Martial, Depay, Rojo, Blind, Darmiam with the hope that they will improve the team but no success, that is why the coach is falling back on English players to see if they can work hard to bring the club back to glory days, our experiment with foreign buy as failed hence the fall back on home based.
We were linked to many foreign players but we were priced out,the likes of Coulibaly, Serge Milikovic etc.

I have a problem with all this falling back on English players. Why do we have to fall back on English players? When we were having a bad run these few years, were the English players not part of the team?

The club should buy players that are ready to play for the club regardless of nationality and stop all this nonsense of falling back on English players. After they meet the expected quota any other player coming in should be done based on what he can add to the team and his dedication regardless of his nationality, being English should mean nothing at this point.

As if English players play like Argentineans and Brazilians angry angry

how many of them are core of the team, Smalling is still part of the team based on the failure of our foreign buy, the likes of Rojo,blind,Baily and Lindelof could have easily displace them, Rashford is in the team based on his one season perform and is still our best player from set pieces. Shaw is also one of the best left back before is injury. which other English players as been core of the team, is it Mctominay or Lingard that were drafted in based on the poor performance of our buy

Stop introducing another angle to the argument. Who said anything about core players now. We were talking about buying English players and not buying English players that would be the core of the team.

Please stay awake!

Let me respond to your 2nd statement because I don't understand the first.

How is it different from what I also expect from what I wrote.

Chong, Garner, Greenwood and Gomes should be drafted into the first team full time.
I rather give Garner Matic's minutes and Gomes, Mata's minute for them to develop. If we mange these youngsters properly, by next season or two, we will have little or no reason to spend.

I'm in full support of this. But they shouldn't place more demand on the young lads.

The emboldened part is key. At this point, we have no choice but to trust Ole will do a good job at that

That's why we are hoping that Pogba, Martial, Rashford, Maguire and the likes have a spectacular season just so the pressure is off the shoulders of those youngsters.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Sanchez still has a role to play. Farming him out on loan at this point is not necessarily a good idea, even more so now that we've sold Lukaku and didn't get reinforcements up front

I don’t think Sanchez played a full game under Ole last season. He always managed to get injured and his presence on the pitch was no different from his absence.

Even now sef, he won’t be available for selection until mid to late September. Wanna bet he cops an injury in his first game of the season?

Chong won’t perform any worse if he was on the pitch in place of Sanchez.

the only thing I'm praying against is injury. I know it's inevitable but still not now. I hope the young lads will be able to cover up.

I'm looking forward to their introduction.
