11 players out, some were on loan and would always be going but 8 player in or around the first team gone and 5 brought in. That math's don't work. We need 3 more players just to have the squad we had last season. We all agree what they are left back, striker and a central defender. We don't seem to develop youth anymore.

No Smiths or Kewells coming through. Players leaving on loan who we don't want yet like the bad penny they'll be back next year then sold for 1/3 of their cost. Having said that, the player we have got in are excellent. Trafford has to be probably the best signing ever.

I don't know what's wrong with our youth set up. Are they not good enough or does Farke not trust them?

Plenty of youth on show pre-season, and plenty with squad numbers for the season ahead, some of whom are highly regarded. Nothing to say that they won't get chances if our headcount remains unchanged.
