So what are you saying? we should buy 'proven' players like Sanchez, Fred, Seri, Wilshere ... proven players who in fact aren't worth a bean ...
Buying the best young players is exactly what's needed ... in case you've missed it Man City have
Jesus - signed at 19 - 28m
Sane - signed at 20 - 45m
Sterling - signed at 21 - 57m
Silva - signed at 22 - 45m
How's that working out for them?
Sure we need a balance - experienced CB, experienced DM, experienced FB - but don't crap on the youth .... one bad season doesn't make him a bad player, Sterling would be well fecked if that was the case ...
3 of 4 of those I knew about and had seen play; they were all further in their development than Ryan. All for buying young talent and will support the lad if he comes here, but I wouldn't put him on par with those names. He might cost that though, which kind of sours it a bit...thanks
