i know i'm probably going to be eaten alive on here but heres how i see it.
they're still young and learning. i think all 3 will develope into fine players. the experience of last season will have done them the world of good.
insua, 21. played over 40 games last season. did okay over all. made some mistakes, yes, but all young defenders do.
lucas, 23. played a lot better last season than he is given credit for. gave the ball away on occasion but so did everyone else. well capable of replacing mash as defensive midfielder. not great going forward but its not his fault our great manager plays 2 defensive midfielders 99% of the time. has shown bottle considering the amount of stick he gets from his own supporters and deserves at least another season.
ngog, 21(just). chipped in with some important goals last season. has skill but not able to lead the front line by himself yet. name me a 21 year old striker that could in our team? would play much better up front with torres when he's not marked by 2 defenders all the time.(

insua and lucas both been capped by their countries, and we're not talking about cyprus and malta here(with respect), so they can't be as bad as you make out.
and considering you slaughter everything that moves under that dark cloud that follows you around i think i'll take it with a pinch of salt.

I agree with your view on Ngog and Insua. Ngog is very talented but needs to bulk up as he is to easely brushed off the ball.
Insua has improved enormously but as we a playing Johnson, who cannot defend to save his life, we perhaps need someone who can defend to cover his runs.
Lucas has no vision, no pace, no goalscoring ability and gives the ball away to much. Apart from that he is ok.
Seriously he could be a vital make weight part in any big name transfer

Well i would keep them as back up. If they keep starting in games then its going to be a pain all over again. Aqua for Lucas, We need to buy a good leftback and striker with torres and keep those young trio on the bench.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

n'gog issn't good enough (yet) but he did do a decent job when he played. lucas should be sold or used as a squad player. absolutely not good enough. i would keep insua because he's still young and has the potential to be very good but he can't be 1st choice next season.

Insua was thrown in very early, and kept his place too long. He needed to go back to the reserves and learn his trade a little more. I'd keep him to see if he can improve. The other two, I'd swap for a good plasma tv for the players lounge.

insua did what a lot of players from south america do, he got fat and lazy when he thought he hit the bigtime! and as for the other two id rather put them up for crimes against football than sell them to some other poor souls

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience
