They chose you because these kids have grown up whilst Man Utd were winning so they are more than likely Man Utd fans! That is the beauty of winning, the club goes from strength to strength and the following / support gets stronger and stronger. You may have a few such as Welbeck, Evans, the Silvas, etc but so do we. Flanagan, Kelly, Robinson and Spearing have all recently broken into the first team and we have a few others knocking at the door too. The best of the bunch are yet to get near the first team. We also have Shelvey, Henderson, Carroll, etc who are all young and involved in the first team. Obviously they didn't come through the academy but they count just as much as the Silva twins! Yes yes, I am well aware they cost a lot of money too.
Unfortunatly mate football is just run by money these days. The league will be won by who spends most out of Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs. I'd love to see you guys do what Montpellier did in France this year using mostly players brought through the academy with a few signings to compliment the team. Just can't see it happening apart from 3 maybe 4 clubs the rest of us are playing to win the F.A cup avoid relegation or come between 5th and 7th.
Lets get it in perspective, Only 4 of yours are good enough to get into a Championship team, and you have no idea how they will perform in the prem. I'm not saying they are ****, or the system isn't good, but when you hail it as "light years ahead", you do need a reality check. Basically your's is good enough for Southampton, ours needs to be good enough for a European giant.
Have you ever seen that show "Pointless"? Well we asked 100 people to name as many famous European cup winners.... Well Liverpool would get a score of 100. It's when the TV companies charge more for advertising time for our matches, compared to any other club in Europe. It's about expectation. If you don't get 4th sport next season, will your manager get the sack? If you win one cup, and get to the final of another, will your manager get the sack? No, he'd get an open top bus around the city. How did Southampton get on in the Next-Gen tournament this season? Did you get to the semis, like we did?
not one of you would win laliga or the CL with the team Pepe had, its all sooo easy from here. He took a team that failed to score in 2 games against United and made them into a team that walked all over the english champions and almost everyone else. Some love to thorw the great tag at Maureen, if you give massive resources he will win things, but resources must be massive. It only took Sheva to bring his Chelsea empire down in the end Still very amused by idiots still clinging to Prem strongest league nonsense, Bilbao athletico a match for any team in England where did they finish in their league.
