Di Maria is 24 now, mind.

We're still not the team many players would consider to finish their career at, most of them have dreams about RM, Barcelona, United, Liverpool, Milan etc.. I doubt any of them had dreams to play in City one day ;)
I really don't care if some 21-years old is going to be great in his 28th in his beloved Barcelona or Milan :)
It's my answer for Balotelli's age argument so it's certainly for Hazard's one too.
It's who is better now and in some middle range period (the length of one contract approx.) not in 10 years. We still have to earn that thing that could lead players to come here at 19-20 age and to genuinely want to stay here whole their careers.
MSP said:No, I'm not talking about recruiting players. We don't have problems with that. We have money, offer them big wages, we fight for titles. That's not the problem.
But I personally don't think that we're still first to consider option for young players.
Look at Duncan Jones for ex. He came to United when he was 19 and until they push him from there, there is 99% of chance he won't ever consider to leave them because he grown up with masturbating on David Beckham when he was having low, sentimental days, and Keano when he needed something harder :)
I doubt he was doing ti while watching Goat :)
In 10 years we'll have youngsters who are going to grow up watching Silva, Aguero, Yaya and other stars to come. These lads would not have problems to finish their careers in City as some kind of emotions are going to be involved.
Right now, there's barely any emotions. It's all about money and possibility to play on top scene.
So, if some 19 years old come to City right now and Barcelona, his beloved club would want him when he's 23 and can offer him similar wages, he's gone.
That's why I think age argument is not important at this point of City project.
