I was only able to watch the last 30 mins yesterday, and by the time I switched on, McConnel was just going off.
It appears he did well (along with Koumas and Nyoni).
Given his performance, and Nyoni's, do folks think we don't have to jump all over a, for example, Camarra in Jan?

We still definitely need midfield reinforcements.

McConnell did ok but I felt that he was the least effective of the 3 (not a criticism, just an opinion). Nyoni was disciplined and offered a permanent presence at the base of midfield and Koumas ran himself into the ground leading the press really well and causing Senesi all kinds of problems whenever the keeper gave him the ball.
They can both (Nyoni and McConnell) do a job this season but neither are immediate options for regular starts. We should still be looking at bringing in somebody in January.

They did well, for young lads, not ready to be full-time starters, still need a proper senior DM.

If we have intentions of winning the league or CL then we require a Camara. The 2 boys did well against the opposition they were playing but Spurs are poor. They won't face them every day.

Definitely need the likes of Camara if we have any ambition of winning CL or PL. You never win anything with kids.

Well we won our last trophy with kids! Endo was MoM in the final playing as a defensive mf. He has since been categorised as useless. No idea what has happened to him. Unless shiny new toys win us something, I guess it is not valued.

I wouldn't say I categorise him as useless, Sanjit, but clearly Iraola doesn't see enough in him to warrant playing him.

The kids are kids and they're squad options, nothing else for now.
In my opinion, the ideal would be:
Camara in. Grav out.

Aren't Endo and Chiesa the sacrificial lambs? regarding PL squad numbers? i. e. Camara for Endo, Minteh for Chiesa (does that also mean the deals will be done? ) hence no playing time also, in case of injuries before the winter transfer window opens?
