If you're talking about trusting the youth generally then we used to have Satriano and Pinamonti in the squad. Didn't go very well, so people have reasons to be doubtful.

If you're talking about Gnonto specifically, then yeah, he looks like a real deal. Whether we have the money for him and he can play out of position is a problem though.
Paolo Nicolato Italy U21 coach said he sees Gronto as a centre forward:

“I see Gnonto as more of a striker, including a centre-forward. He has played as a winger at club level and for Italy, but he doesn’t seem a classic winger to me. If anything, part of two upfront, or a centre-forward in a 4-3-3, because he attacks the space and has that sprint in the final third.”

They have insane depth in cbs. Botman, van de Ven, Timber. Instead they start an out of form van Dijk and Geertruida who's a rb. Also Dumfries starting for Netherlands when they have Frimpong is a mystery to me.
Koeman lost it…

Geertruida is perfectly able to play as a cb tho. Although this wasn’t his best game… Van Dijk should warm the bench imo. Botman and De Ligt are a better fit now. Regarding Frimpong, he doesn’t speak Dutch. It’s rumoured that’s why Koeman doesn’t want him in the team.

Also please don’t sign that Retegui. He seems utter shit. Although this was the first time i saw a whole match of him.

I thought Koeman doesn’t rate Frimpong because he cant defend according to Koeman. While we conceed 7 goals in 2 matches…

We just have no goal scorers at any level of the system. Zero.

Watching Denmark vs Serbia match, no dog in this hunt, just hoping Eriksen has a good game.

How did Roma land Kone? He’s quite impressive

Time for some nagging injuries to miraculously appear following the Torino match. Bed rest, and family time are the ticket.

Has Spalletti announced his callups?

I wanna be sure Barella is not called up.

This win was for George. I never thought we could top result of 2001 but here we are. This squad has potential. Especially when Fotis recovers from injury.

Didn't feel like watching it due to the whole situation.

Great result, could have been much better. Scored like 5 goals at Wembley apparently, there was a clearance right on the line at the beginning.

Ivan Jovanovic is a phenomenonal coach and an even greater person. Internal politics cost him the Panathinaikos job but he's off to better things now. He's going to take us to the World Cup after a long absence.

Taking a break from clean-up, will kinda watch Finland vs England. But of course, the utilities turned off the power so more people could get back on grid. Sounds like a better option Imho.
