This is where the supporters need to start looking at the club differently.
Big clubs buy young players for good money and then don't just throw them in. They are bought as long term investments and are then trained and drilled for when they get their chance.
I know in the past it's been a bit like 'we paid £7m for him, get him in' but I think it's changing. We are big club with a very bright future and are starting to act like that.
Seeing West Ham in a position to pay good money for young players without having the need to get them straight into action is very refreshing.

We will get injuries.
Just this year (in that position at least) we have some depth to the squad so the injuries won't hit us as hard.
Let's not big Antonio up too much otherwise he'll become one of those players who improves in peoples mind each time he doesn't play and when he finally does get his chance he won't live up to the massive expectation of him.
Just give the lad a chance to break into the team gradually and don't expect miracles from him. He is pacey, but has a lot to learn still.

It's a long season. I suspect he'll get his chance.

Re: Antonio?
Both players can play of either wing.
I thought that the case. Antonio seemed to play right wing for Forest, so I assumed he was brought in to play there?
Lanzini would probably be the one to make way but his form has been keeping him out. Still think he could be utilised more from the bench especially at home to open up teams.

He has been here 5 mins.
Players like him and Valencia (due back Oct 24 supposedly) will get their chances.
Its called DEPTH OF TALENT

Will be frustrating for him but at some point he will get a chance, most likely through injuries. Also, Lanzini and Moses are on loan, so it's possible both of them, or one of them, won't be here next season.

Just because he's seen as the long term answer on the left doesn't mean he can't take opportunities on the right this season.

He'll get his chance. Nothing to see here.
