We already have Fernando & Fernandinho to do this job.
But we'd need to play them when they're a £7m snip, not leave them to stagnate and become a £5m loss. I don't think for one minute that Pellegrini will ever opt to develop an unproven youngster over selecting someone more experienced. We'd just end up signing him cheaply, loaning him out, get him craving first team football, then lose him because we don't give him the opportunity. Same will happen with Denayer.Very true on both counts.
I wish we could see these sort of players when they are a £7 mill snip.

Yea, you are right. I just hate us paying the Dippers 40 mill plus for a player we could have gone for at a fraction of the value. Or paying whatever for Savic, nasty and now Mangala when Stones was there for 7 mill. Especially when we are paying these prices anyway for young players who e d up going somewhere else.
Den should be here and Demi out. Lopes and not Nasri. There's no point in an Academy if we wont give them a chance. You are so right about Deny.
