first team of players unavailable due to a crippling an mysterious run of injury problems.

first team of players for about a whole year.

first team of players through injury for the rest of the season.

I see lot
of coments about how we can sign Reus «cuz he's a world class
player.Yes, he is a great
player BUT did you see how mutch this season was he injuried?The period when Dortmund win some games and comme forward in the table was the period when Reus was available, rest
of the season he was injuried.This is one thing, the other think is that Klopp say he will leave Dortmund in the end
of the season and looking for a new chalange.I'm pretty sure that he will leave to a big
team and will take Reus after him.Sterling is exactly the same type
of player as Sanchez, just doesn't have the same experience, he's not fully developed.I think he can be a
first XI
player for us and I think will be great alongside Sanchez, replacing Cazorla when he will leave.Sterling is an English
player, will be great to see him at nationat
team too, and we need as mutch as rest
of the big
teams from EPL home grown
players.The coments who say that we have Gnabry and Wellington make me laugh, really?Do you want trophies?Or do you want to see more young
players and waiting year after year to confirm or just see how they doesn't play anything?We are a top
team, and need performance in UCL too, not just participaiting.Sterling is a young CONFIRMED
player who will definetly help us.Agree that he's not fully grown but he will be a great
player.

of play, the progress
of youth
player to
first team is precise... etc will all be consistent.
