Maybe Monaco can afford to play youngsters in the league they are in..If they were in the prem I doubt theyd field so many.
They do it as a business ie to make money and we as City buy the product they have effectively snapped up at a low price then developed into the players we will pay 43M for.
We should perhaps convince some of the other French League teams to blood our academy lads if all it needs is a lower league.
I suspect Monaco and their scouts are the secret and maybe our owner would do well to consider either buying Monaco or entering into some sort of deal with them to effectively cost share and share profits.
