You probably can name the 20 kids who now obviously have a career at a European topclub proving how wrong we were to let them leave instead of handing them out important minutes on the pitch so they would form todays squad?
I think you should cheer up a bit more and look at the wonderful things that have happend over the past 10 years to every department within the club. And yes, less fortunate times will arrive. But that is not because we piss away our academy.
Let's meet again in 5 years time, ok?
Wd could just clap everything.
But then there would be no forum & football in general would be piss fucking boring.
And the 'he would have made it at 'x'' is a cliché.
I have been predicting this as a possibility when people have been blasé about it, just as I predicted we would start to lose academy players we really wanted to keep.
We had an opportunity to be miles ahead of everyone at youth level & we let it go, because we are rich.
If we become less rich, by comparison, we have missed a huge fucking trick.
