the club and young players are in a tough position right now.

the club is realistically setting up to be contenders for 2023-2025/6 window right now. if the young players play well enough to justify starting on a championship team, they will likely be sold off to europe within 12 months.

if they aren't playing that well, the club will be looking to bring in senior players that can perform at that level.

long story short, hard to plan a team around players you are likely to lose if they are good enough to perform in said team.
