Would rather have the young guys in the squad than bringing in the likes of Iwilumu, Morgan,Gormly , Hart & many others that sat on bench or in the stand picking up a wage.
Think perhaps whilst we are looking at young players as looking to develop them, Tommy may see them as capable squad players on very low wages. Rather than loaning them out and bringing it slightly better more experienced players on 3x the wage he’d rather keep them for a few years as capable back ups
