We'll never know if they're good enough because Bolton wanderers has this policy where we crap ourselves if someone gets injured or someone leaves.

 

Spearing is a good player and is a great 3rd choice centre mid. But this effectively means that gregus or vela will never start a first team match and will be another kid we'll never know is good enough.

 

Same for eaves and that lad from Wednesday or our kid keeper (lainton?).

 

Freedman was forced to play kids at palace because they couldn't afford to go out and buy when the first choice got injured or left. And then suddenly they are selling players for 10million.

 

Unless we can get in the prem and play kids to sell we'll never be sustainable and will go bust.

 

If the young players are good enough they will get in the team. Dougie isn't one for ignoring the younger players and the fact that Keith Andrews is playing before them suggests they aren't very good or not ready for regular first team football yet.

 

Besides Vela makes Paul Warhurst look like the iron man so hes not one to rely on for starters.

Talk about contradicting yourself. Spearing is what, 24? I'll hazard he's costing no more than just over a million, he's English and could be a mainstay in our midfield for the next ten years. How is that NOT sustaining ourselves long term?
 
It could be the Vela finds his level in non league in a couple of years, simply because he's not good enough. Alternatively, if he's good enough he could become a star at the highest level. 
 
Simply put, only the backroom staff know who's better than who behind the scenes. If Vela deserves a run in the side he'll get one. If Spearing is better, so be it.

The objective is to get back in the Premier League, so we can focus on playing the youngsters a lot more if we get there next season.

get the fuck in

 

great call Tomski as well.

 

he called it saying bwfc were playing a blinder

 

I thought we'd miss out trying to get him too cheap

If Vela's not gonna get a chance here atm, then he should get a loan somewhere. I'd guess that if we get Spearing (personal terms to agree yet), that it's probably Andrews that'll be off because of his wage

Not nessacelery Chris.  There are a lot of games in the Npower championship and no doubt there will be injuries and suspensions.

 

Hopefully the end of Andrews' Bolton career though.

 

 

is that the Sky Bet championship?

Dougie has plenty of faith in the youngsters.

 

Played vela at Leicester last season in what was a big game at the time. Also used Tom Eaves in this game.

 

Played Hall against Blackpool.

 

Has used Odelusi this season already.

 

I'm sure if they are good enough they will get opportunities.

We play 3 in midfield for the majority of games, I don't think Andrews will be here for long which will then leave Medo, Spearing, Pratley, Moritz and Vela.

 

I personally think that's exactly the place in the squad Vela should be at the moment. In and around the team and covering for injuries/suspensions/loss of form

Agree with that sentiment, but I know Andrews doesn't want to go anywhere - actual ITK

 

Now, I know players don't get what they want necessarily, but he's happy at BWFC

He'll not be having a medical if personal terms have still to be agreed - it's not like it's the last day of the window

We will struggle to get rid with the wages he is on anyway so I reckon we could be stuck with him this season at least.

It makes me sad that he's happy

Really pleased with this signing and it will strengthen the squad as I would guess Andrews will return to the bench. I think Dougie was hoping to showcase Andrews given that the Burnley game was on TV last Saturday but his poor performance probably convinced Paul Ince not to bother!!! Well done Dougie/BWFC...

Wow. Signing a great player and turn it into this ! U miserable bugger. If we signed bale I guess you'd be complaining. If the young ones were so good do you not think they'd be breaking into the first team already? I'd say more a case that we've got depth of squad for cover and for cup runs etc whilst they carry on playing in the reserves, cup games, training and being monitored etc by the experts and if they reach a level they'll get their chance from the bench and then more if they make the grade. Or perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about.
