that's why it shouldn't be left to the manager to bring in the players. the average manager duration in the EFL is less than ,18 months, so there's never that much incentive to develop youth.
a director of football who is there for a much longer term would fix a lot of these issues
To be honest if Gunter is available for free I would take him on a 2 year contract.
We definitely need to develop and also bring in some younger players but I cannot see that happening in one summer period.
With Gunter we could move Bacuna into midfield and start to shape the team. A striker must be our main focus
