The Doak signing looks good. Clearly still very raw but as he matures physically and tactically he could be a nice player.
Really liking the emphasis on bringing in the best homegrown talent. The future front 6 looks promising:
Doak - Carvalho - Gordon
----- Clark ----- Elliott --------
----------- Morton -------------
Sorry, but it's waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too early to put that kind of pressure on those young kids. Unfortunately, not all of them will make it at the highest level, that's just a fact. Remember the hype around Woodburn, Pacheco, Hobbs...?
We also have many other promising youngsters that may surprise us (Jones, Clarkson, Musialowski, etc.). Some we haven't even heard of yet!
And don't forget, Diaz and Jota are only 25. They still have many years ahead of them.
I do agree with you to some extent though, the emphasis on homegrown talent can only be good for us in the long run. Not only on the pitch, but it will also help us recruiting the next ones as well.
The future is bright for the Reds, that's for sure.
