Good utility player. I will forever remember his performance against Liverpool.

Potentially a LB replacement. Equally Ake can play LB if required. Sooner or later, we need to breed a LB and ready Azpi for a return to RB. I don't think Iva will be able to play fullback for many more years consistently.

That said, I adore Iva and would like to see him one day return to CB.

We were ready to pay 14 million for Augsburg left-back Baba when we have players who could rotate to that stop in the team.

I think while many of our players are PL quality , We have the best of the best players in our squad , Can our youth take those positions?

For example , A few years back i thought Lucas Piazon could be the one to break into our team , He is nowhere near the quality of oscar now though,

I would personally like Traore and Bamford , As well as Ruben loftus cheek to break through , But id also like to win the leauge,

There would be some complaining but you've got to risk to reep the benefits.

You could negate the risk somewhat by playing them in cup games.

Traore looks excellent. I'm quite the fan of Bamford but with Remy and Costa, we've probably only got room to develop one (unless we play Traore out wide)
