Isn't that what most clubs that know their arse from a hole in the ground try to do?Trolling? Wth you talking about?
:-) My mention of Stones and Sterling was in relation to signings made to go straight into first team contention.
I'd be surprised if Aston Villa purchased Targett, McGinn and Al-Ghazi from Soton, Celtic and Ajax, all clubs with a good reputation for finding/developing young talent, in their early twenties with the intention of them merely sitting in the stands.
Whilst the price tags may have been different than what City paid for Sterling and Stones, it is the same concept. They purchased young talented players for the club at a price deemed acceptable.
