How come we have such a lousy youth training program?
We havent produced shit in years (sorry for the foul language but its true)...
A new thread should opened on this...
This is my point:
1. We dont buy new young talent...and i mean real young talent...just look at Chelsea they bought Mikel and Kalou...2 very promissing guys...
2. All we buy is 30+y old backups who are out of contract...
3. All we do with our youth is co-own them or loan then out just to never see them again...
4. The top of Europe is basing their squad on young talent...2 examples:
4.a. Barca --> Their first team is filled with guys coming from their own academy: Valdez, Puyol, Iniesta, Motta, Xavi, Oleguer, Messi,...and they also have huge talent abroad: Fabregas from Arsenal and Pique from Man U are former Barca youth products...
4.b. Arsenal...they buy all top youth talents from everywhere and mold a team out of them...
We should really do something about this pathetic situation...
We have like a gazillion youth centers abroad...we have an incredible scouting apparatus...so you're not going to tell me that we dont know where the talent is...
Then why in heaven sake dont we attract them???
This shit really pisses me off because lets face it whats better about football then seeing a young guy of your own squad making it in the big world...When Martins broke through everybody was happy and considered him one of the biggest talents on the planet...well where the f*ck are his successors?...
In stead of spending millions and millions on wothless transfers we should invest in really talented young guys and actually give them a chance...
What is happening to Potenza, DellaFiore, Beati, Eliakwu,...??? I'll tell you what...we are using them as leverage in other transactions...give these guys a chance...more then a chance...
Amen
