He could have been in earlier imo.

That is not Uniteds fault. Blame Capello.

I think you know what I meant. Jeez


No you're right, I did. But Cleverley is a fantastic player who is yet another example of someone who has grown at a smaller club (spell at Wigan)

it's part of developing youngters at United sending players on loan

I'll make a prediction

Ryan Tunnicliffe will be a top player within 2 years and he is currently on loan at Posh

Paul Scholes thinks he's going to be superb

Paul Pogba too

Out of the current squad of 22, I counted 9 different clubs. 2/3 of which only had one player from that team.

Come on, it's not a strictly United policy, but it goes to show that playing for smaller clubs is not to be sniffed at. These players should be in the squad as soon as possible, they shouldn't have to wait till the big managers decide they're good before the national manager does.

TBH its a case of whether the media think a player is good enough for England, as much as it is Capello.

posted on 6/10/11

Leon Best, Scott Sinclair and Ross Barkley off the top of my head.

=====

One will be good enough in a few years, the other two not at Everton will never be good enough.

Barkley is learning his trade at U21's first but will be a regular soon for the full squad

Cleverly and Wellbeck, United's contribution to English football in the last 10 years...

"No disrespect but he's now playing in a great team so of course he's going to get more recognition, but more importantly he's proving that he is worthy of playing in a big team"

No dis respect, that's the very definition.

He was excellent in a poor team last year which he should get credit for. For United he's been up and down, your defensive record hasn't been great and that's in a team that dominates possession!

.......................

He did. United bought him. How much more credit do you want?

posted on 6/10/11

That's not credit, that's all the ills of football conspiring. Strange how they guessed the exact amount of the release clause!

Anyhow, in short, the media, Capello, the plastic fans have all got what they want. The true football fan suffers again. I await the implosion of football with baited breath so that we can once again watch the beautiful game...

Sure the player and agents know this amount. maybe the chicken farmers wanted the cash to reinvest

Chin, thanks for your detailed rebuttal, you argued your point well.

PJS, but it's not meant to be public information...

What's the big deal? Everyone knows that if you suddenly get a game for United then you have a chance of playing for England.

Even that guy who dived on the United team photo prior to the European game got called up!!! Can't remember his name, but Karl rings a bell. He went on to play 64 times for England after just one photo call at United...

Are you sure, we are told every time Naymar is linked to a club what his release value is.

The player know because he signed the deal, sure it is no against the law for him to talk about his contract

I think it goes against protocol.

It is a total myth that Fergie concentrates on developing young players and Man U don't spend big like City and Chelsea. Course they spend big and half the young players that seem to be assumed are developed by Man Utd are actually developed by another club and just bought at a young. Man U are exactly the same as City and Chelsea, they buy success, but with the money of millions of gloryhunters instead of the money of one billionaire investor.

Karl Power I think OOJW.

The plastic fans have the glory of 'their' player representing their national team, they seek merely glory.

The true football fan has a passion for their club and the players who represent their town and their individual dreams. Seeing someone from humble beginnings representing the people of the town of Blackburn would be a proud moment.

The implosion when the money pit dries up, monopolisation of wealth is reduced and the game is played on the pitch rather than the balance sheet!

In my opinion the game we watch now is nothing compared to the 50's, 60's and 70's. You are entitled to be amazed by the battle for the title on super sensational Sunday in mid November if you wish.

It still wasn't a rebuttal, mainly a list of questions...

posted on 6/10/11

That doesn't change my point, merely proves your academy produces nothing. My point wasn't who they played for when first selected, merely that they get more of an opportunity from the point of playing in red!

Absolutly hillarious

Are you really crying there?

If you are comparing the business model of United to that of Chelsea and City you are crazier than you sound

With the odd notable exception United buy players and increase their values

Ronaldo 12.7 million/ Sold for 80
Nani 14m worth twice that now
Chich 7 m
The Da Silvas a couple of million
Vidic 6m
Evra 5m
Cleverley zip
Welbeck zip
Rooney worth more than twice what we paid
Smalling's value has rocketed

I could go back in time
Cantona 1m
Schmeicel 500k
Irwin

i could literally go on and on and on

United have bust the 20m barrier for 4 players in outr history

City have dome it about 10 or 11 times in the last few years

Chelsea have spent and spent and have spent 100m this year alone. Has Torres' valuee sky rocketed?

You should look closely at what United do. Yes we spend, but please don;t try and tell me we buy success. Chelsea and City spend far more than we do as do a couple of other sides on the PL

I think our net spend per annum since the Galzers took over is less tham 10m

Yes we spend, but that is not the reason why we are succesful

Of course you do, there's no other way. But Man Utd's business model only got where it was because of large spending prior to the start of the Premier League that ensured you reaped all the benefits from the new format.
