There are 25 year olds knocking around that have potential to improve significantly. Smith at Rotherham being a case in point. Other clubs tap into this more successfully than us though.
We need balance . I dont go along with the, "next season we MUST achieve promotion", mantra but we must be challenging as we did this season at the very least. I want to see a sustainable, stable operation that values youth, as we both do, whilst also being pragmatic in the now.
I think that we both agree that we don't want the core of our recruitment based on more expensive, 'ready made', 29/30 year olds as we have done too often in recent years.
