They were....and all sold...So players like Wilf, Williams, Moses, Clyne, Scannell, Watson, Routledge et al. is not a youth policy?

I've never rated Zaha - but he was one of your better players and got you through the Play Offs into the promise land.
However, I am surprised at the quality and quantity of players you are signing. I do appreciate that it is difficult for you to attract the better players because of the ground and poor support etc - I think if you could have got Bent then you may have stayed up.
I thought a wise move for you would have to have stuck with the players that got you up and give it a go and save the money and buy wisely or invest it in the ground. It seems your Club (or Holloway) has gone for the buy as many as possible and hope some will work route. It is going to be very difficult to blend that amount of new players into a decent team - plus I should imagine that those you were with you last season will be demotivated by seeing such an influx of new faces (faeces?)
I genuinely believe had we been promoted then we would have purchased a smaller amount of players but better quality than you have as we have a better base of players and infrastructure than you (Bridge would have stayed if we had gone up).
Anyway it will be exciting for you and enjoyable for us to see how you go .
