I'd almost have Prince Edward up front at this rate.

Red and Blue Army!

Apparently he scores on a regular basis around old compton st.

That’s not quite what I said. But yes, if we have a talented youngster who we think is good enough then I would give him game time rather than develop him outside the first team set up.

I gave examples of young players who have flourished as a result of being given opportunities to play at the highest level.

We only have one player at present who to my mind fits this profile: JRS. In his case I’m delighted that PV has given him his debut and included him in the squad yesterday. As the season progresses I hope and expect to see more of him. IMO that is the correct approach to nurturing that type of talent.

Cant we swap Edouard for Benteke, please

Apparently we're lining up a 10m bid for Nketiah (who's injured btw). Good young player but IMO another Tekkers, JPM, Bats type player.
10m would surely get Edouard who is a pacey AJ type of striker we need and a proven goal scorer. Even though Scottish league he knows where the goal is. Not EK for me thanks.Edouard a no brainer. Just my opinion of course

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong

Bats is nothing like, Benteke and Mateta
