that we should maybe stop taking punts on players that are projects

but then we're back onto the loop of WAGES and OWNERS

Also possibly that players might need to be more realistic about their own career ceilings and accept that we might be as good as they are going to get in terms of being at a team that will give them time on the pitch? But then young players will always dream of bigger things and we're back onto the loop of WAGES (and so OWNERS).
