Quote: Double Movement "I suppose the club has decided that spending a decent chunk of their available wage bill on three or four quality players is less desirable than investing in seven or eight youngsters who are eager to learn and show what they can do.
We do have a decent track record of improving young players and bringing them on. I don't have a problem with this approach but ...
I can't help but think that we need a couple more proven players of similar ability to Steve Snitch to give the team the correct balance between experience and youth, probably in the prop/second row department.'"
You're right there mate ......
Bringing on youngsters is fine but takes time and there is no guarantee they won't just bugger off when they are up to speed.
No side without a good blend of mature experience players to guide the youngsters around the park is ever going to win anything.
So I am afraid that sides do have to buy in some already successful players whether they want to or not.
Also we are owned by the Rovers, they control finances now .... we may have our own philosophy but they call the shots.
That doesn't mean that Carl is not the man guiding us, because he is.
