Premier League has more than 8 teams with higher NET spend than Real Madrid in the last 10 years and yet their teams need 2-3 rebuilds every few years…
Why don’t they buy the best upcoming young talents as Madrid does:
- Vinicius (23)
- Bellingham (20)
- Rodrygo (23)
- Endrick (17) - 2024
- Guler (18)
- Valverde (25)
- Tchouameni (23)
- Camavinga (20)
- Militao (25)
- Davies (23) - 2024?
All of these players are bought when they were U-23 and only 1 (Jude) of them costed 100M+ while other 80M (Tchouameni).
What stops the other richer PL clubs to follow the same policy and buy the Cherki, Redondo, Wirtz, Santiago, and other young gems who are actually quality instead of wasting their money on overpriced deals (Mount, Casemiro, Havertz, Caicedo, Cucurella, Sterling, Mudryk, Antony, Nunez, etc) leading them to rebuild after rebuild for years…
I feel that all of Liverpool/United/Chelsea/Spurs/Arsenal goes for higher floor but lower ceiling in terms of their quality and potential while Madrid has a priority for highest ceiling ones…
Its like the saying, ‘Shoot for the moon and you will land alongside stars’. Its more profitable and sustainable in long term if you buy absolute worldbeater wonderkid than just a ‘good’ and ‘stable’ buys like McAllister, Gakpo, Mount, and others.
It simply limits your capability and thats a disaster especially when you are competing against Madrid, Bayern, City likes in domestic and continental competitions who are very much up for lining up dynasty level squads.
City is doing that mate, they have bought 90% of young talents in England
