I agree totally, just pointed out for a different perspective, that's all.
I agree that not all football players have the same path through out their career. Even though in my opinion the best players tend to break through at early age.

Might be my opinion bias, but I read Pogba into those comments about dressing room and character.
Would believe you if Ole didn't specifically priase Pogba's attitude yesterday .
You'd believe it's about Pogba rather than players like the one who's apparently signed a pre contract with another club before the end of the season. Weird.
This Manchester International Club sounds interesting.
And that my friend is how you earn money. Free transfer is a bitch.
Also, we cant get rid off everyone.
So we have to buy all English?
Did he? Was correct about bias then.
Either way, this summer is going to be very interesting.
At least half or a third.
You said no positive tweets, the fact Ole knows there's a lot of work to do is positive in the fact that he's not deluded at least
Good to hear if that's true from Jovic about playing time. Only problem for us is that we are also well stocked in the striker department. Even if we sold Lukaku we have Rashford, Martial and Greenwood, all of whom will want playing time next season.
Would be a great buy for Chelsea tbf, since Hazard is leaving and Higuain is crap.
Since when?
You forgot to add one thing,that all are crap at scoring goals.
I didn't forget to add it. I don't believe it firstly, but it's also irrelevant. If Jovic cares so much about playing time he may not want to go somewhere that has lots of forwards.
Didn't do all that research, thanks for that, but how I always heard it was that Levy ran the club and the majority owner left him to it. Him having an ownership stake probably explains why he runs the club how he sees fit.
Always. Maybe not English, let me correct myself, as least from the British Isles.
Literally just an article written in the wake of his hattrick in Europa.
Rice, Sancho, Saul Niguez, Alderweireld, Meunier
I don’t recall many/any windows where we operated a ‘33%-50% of our signings should be British’ policy. And that’s well into Fergie’s reign I’m talking about.
I would like us to sign British players where there is no compromise on quality, although they are often overvalued too.
Everytime we rebuild, there is a British core/foundation. Money is no issue.
Sancho: 70-80
Saul: 60
Rice: 40
Alderweireld: 25
Meunier, no clue, maybe 25?
Total: 220-230 M.
Pretty manageable.
Sancho's going to be closer to £100m, Saul's got a €130m release clause so probably around £100m there as well, Rice probably £50-60m, the others fair enough. IMO those five would be closer to £300m.
Need to sell to get those five, but that would definitely be a good summer. Selling Lukaku for £50m would go a long way, plus clearing deadwood from the squad would probably save us around £30m in wages.
some people are perpetually 5 years behind with their expectations on fees
I think Rice would be less. But you're right, release clauses make it difficult to contain fees
I would personally keep Lukaku, or if we sell him he's certainly worth more than 50M (especially if Rice and others are being quoted at 50M).
Anyway, some outbound transfers can subsidize our inbound signings
West Ham wouldn’t sell Rice for less than £60mil imo.
Imagine we somehow got Sanchez and Lukaku out this summer and got Dybala in. A lot of talk that he could move this year. He would add so much dynamism to our attack. Rice was outstanding again today, if we can get him for anything less than 50m that would be a bargain. Age might be an issue but my choice for CD is Alderweireld, that release clause is just too good to pass up in this market.
.... wait are you being sarcastic? I'd love us to sign Eriksen he'd improve us in several positions.
No, he covers United.
