For the first time in a long while...

We'll probably have 2 or 3 players from the reserves promoted to the first team squad next season (Plessis, Insua, maybe Nemith) what this means is we should be able to go for quality instead of quantity despite what a lot of papers are saying. Even though there'll probably be 5-6 players leaving promoting players from within the club means you don't have to sign another 5-6 players to keep the same squad depth instead we can sign maybe 3 good quality players and promote 3 from the ressies.

Even though these young players aren't ready to play in the really big games, personally i don't see a problem in playing someone like Insua in certain games compared to Riise or even Nemith compared to Voronin for certain games.

Its vital the reserves start producing players for the first team squad because that allows Rafa to focus the money he does have on quality instead of also having to think of squad numbers too. For the first time in a long time theres 2 or 3 that will make the step up in the summer.
