Agree here... We need to start again from the start which means starting as a small club, building for the future, making the right investments, making smarter signings. We've got good young players. Use them. Look how it paid off with Donna... Who's to sya it doesnt with Mauri or Calabria, not to mention we should bring back MAstour and eithr play him or loan him off to Serie B to get consistent game time. 

I wouldnt be loaning young players. I'd be spending the cash, but instead of spending 20mill on another Berto, spend 15 on Tielemans... those sort of transfers will move us forward.

Juve ended up in a similar position(except it was because theyre cheats :p ) they took that small club mentality, signed the right players on the cheap and now look at them... They'll potentially sell a player they got for free for over 100mill  now

Here is my take on loaning young players. While I don't think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread, it can be an effective tool to help a team. As a team with limited budget, which most small teams are, sometimes it is hard to fill all your holes through signings and internal promotions. And in that case, loaning a young player for a year or two, maybe even get a signing option at the end of the loan minimizes the risk for the team and potentially helps you fill out your roster with more talent. The thing about developing young players is, you don't want to put them into an environment where they are always losing, because they can easily develop bad habits in that losing atmosphere. That's why getting some talented players to help the team win, even if only for a season or two through loan, is good for our own players too. 

Of course, I would like for us to own all our good young players, but with limited budget, that just might not be possible.
