This is all the train of posts on that regard. Please note
A- Juventus are mentioned once and it was regarding your post of us not wanting to buy bargains as we want to win trophies. Bargain signings were the true focus of the posts not youths. In fact my criticism was towards throwing crazy money for players who had won everything there is to win and are looking for a last pay cheque
B- Cassidy mentioned youths out of the blues and he picked up players from different eras (Mourinho and LVG)
C- I answered to that by saying that we don't always go for youths and I challenged his idea that we're youth centric under Mou by saying that if he had his way then we would have bought way more older players (Willian, Perisic, Toby to mention a few) then we actually did.
D- Finally I ended the post by saying that buying youths is pointless if we fail to nurture them and to play them on a regular basis, reminding him that Mou's lack of patience with kids is world renowned.
Fair enough.
You are clearly wrong about me not wanting to buy bargains though. I said we shouldn't follow Spurs model, doesn't mean I'm against bargain signing.
