Shame neither Bartley nor Lansbury are getting a chance to impress, I wouldn't be convinced of relying on Bartley as 4th choice defender but if we don't sign anyone (still unlikely imo) he'd be preferable to Squillaci but I think he's got what we need; as for Lansbury, I was hoping he'd take Rosicky's place in the squad as he has a similar work ethic and can play the positions that TR does but with a little more goal threat and physicality, from what I've seen anyway.
Both are injured currently.
The guy at Young Guns blog thinks that we might be adjusting our policy concerning the youngsters and reserves. Specifically that fringe prospects will not be kept as long as before (cf. Randell, Hoyte etc) and will be moved on quicker to make room for younger more talented players.
We're seeing the beginning of the changes with the sale of Deacon to Sunderland, JET being hawked around ( rumours being that hes off to Portsmouth), Murphy on trial at Middlesborough..etc etc There is a very talented crop coming up to the U-18s this season (Toral, Bellerin, Akpom, Lipman, Jebb) and selling off some of the older players will make room for them.

Thomas is off to Ipswich for 1 mill. Rhys Murphy to go to Middlesboro.
Project youth.
JET is/was shit but he was the best of our reserves.
We're fucked
He was in the reserves with Wilshere tbf so second best maybe.
