The thing that makes it clear is that they are the type of player we are lacking, wingers who attack their markers. I do think rafa places little faith in our youngsters at times, anderson had a great season last year 10 goals from the wing is a pretty impressive figure for a youngster even though it was in the championship. He was one of our most promising youth players and its a shame he wont get a chance, same goes for hammill, another stong wing player but just doesnt seem like he will get the chance. Anderson prefers playing on the left aswell which could come in very handy but rafa wont give him a chance. I think we must be one of the hardest teams to break into the first team from being a reserve player and with us not spending that much money you would think it would be easier than teams like manure and chelscum who just buy buy buy.
I didnt expect to see them break into the first team when rafa sold pongolle though, he was a good player in my opinion his goal against betis was fantastic but that signalled that he didnt want many of the reserve players we had then. We should either keep them at the club and let them try and break into the first team or sell them, its not fair to make them think they may have a future with the club if they wont, just be upfront with them its not fair to give them false hope.
