I don't see us signing any of the best young players, unless you class henderson, shelvey and carroll in that category in which case your points are invalid and you need to be sectioned.
The game has moved on since those days and money now rules. We are no longer the power we once were who could attract players because of the name of the club and our position in world football. We can't offer champions league football - we can't even offer them europa league football! And even if were to sign quality youngsters they'd never get a game.
It's very wishful thinking on your part but if you believe our squad is going to go on and achieve a fraction of what Ferguson did at Utd then you will be massively disappointed. Utd moved forward with the times, rebuilt, made big changes, marketed themselves into a money making machine and THEN the success came. We have gone backwards by hiring an old manager that walked out on us last time around, hasn't managed for 15 years and puts his faith in big money english players even though the england team is a worldwide joke! Trust me, the journies couldn't be more different.
is the ball not round anymore? do you not have to score in the opposing teams net? are there still 11 players on each side?
well i think the game is very much the same. to quote Graham Hunter(Top spanish football observer), Barcelona have modelled themselves on Paisley's Liverpool where they pass and move but also press as a team using both short and long passes. Players seemlessly come in and out of the team without issue or change to the success. The philospohy being a great team and not ncesessarly great players. a point ackowleged by other Spanish observers at the time.
you are blinded by wanting to be right rather than what is actually happening. It is your choice but very blinkered
