Yeah, sorry to be a downer but the problem with that is if a lot of those players reach top potential the ££££ clubs come sniffing round like hungry swine.
The concept of the one-company man is long gone. Destroyed by Ashley Cole (I’m joking) (not )
I get what you are saying and we have suffered from this in the past, however I feel things are different now.
We have shown with Özil that we can pay top level wages, we have a great stadium in one of the most desirable cities in the World and give ambitious young players a chance. If we can also compete for titles regularly then why would they want to leave? City and Liverpool aren't losing their best players. If some of our players become World class and Barca or Madrid come calling then they are going to get bent over for £100m+ for them.
