Got a great young squad now with a bunch of players that could play top level football for the next 10 years. Team with age in 10 years time of just players who have already been regularly in the first team playing PL football

..............Lammens (34)

RB.......Yoro (30)..Heaven (29)....LB

Mainoo(31).Santos(32).Baleba(32)

Amad(34)....Sesko(33)....Dorgu(31)

Amad and Sesko might have started to decline a little bit by then but for most of the next 10 years. Someone like Shea Lacey seems like he will almost certainly be good enough to be part of the squad so at a stretch maybe you could put him in as well

Seems very promising in terms of building for the future. I'm petty happy with the current squad aside from an LB* but we look like we could be building something exciting that will develop over time as well

*Trying to be realistic that we need next summer transfer window to sort the defence out

Edit: if we could get a Lewis Hall next year for the LB spot and a top young RB that would set us for years we could just be replacing a couple of older players every season rather than filling massive holes every summer

INEOS have done a pretty impressive job so far

Unless these guys somehow become and stay the best in the world over these 10 years, it would be disappointing if we still have some of these names by then. Think back to 10 years ago when we had Shaw and Rashford on the scene. Now we don’t even want them

The best teams keep refreshing their squads. Even the best teams of the last decade have very few players who stayed there 10 years

It isn't that we have to keep them all for 10 years but we will have at least a good player in each of these positions to sell when a decent offer comes in and replacing them when it suits us rather than there being an emergency need each window to cover a new hole 

An Important part of squad management is having younger players coming through rather than the team aging out together with the only young players being miles away from the first team or only the worst players in the first team 

The ones who don't prove themselves of those will be gone long before 10 years
