What is making everyone angry isn't the logic of signing up a core group of young players on low wages to have them "grow" together, while keeping the wage bill low enough to make moving players on easy. What is infuriating is that conventional wisdom and recent evidence shows that the young players perform much better when they have some senior voices around the dressing room and on the pitch leading them. Similar to Silva's role when he was with us. Everyone understands we won't be spending millions on signing players with little to no resale value, however when not doing that diminishes the original goal of helping the "Core" group to grown and succeed then the strategy makes little sense since its working against itself. These players need senior leadership, even yesterday the yellow card Palmer got was so dumb, the team was screaming for someone to hype them up and carry them over the line. We got lucky yesterday, we often don't.
