Yes, and isn't that what FSG have aimed for all the time?
They were talking about buying young potentials with high resale value, rather than ready made experienced players already from the off.
If they follow that strategy all the way through, I guess this is where you ultimately end up.
Ajax comes to mind here - who seem to follow about that route. The difference is that they don't have other clubs competing at the highest level in Holland - such as Chelsea, ManU, Man C and Arsenal do in England.
Success in England can't be reached the same way as is possible in Holland - or in the US (in a totally different sport) for that matter!
