It's about time we started using it properly instead of sending away all these young kids, never giving them a real go... Let's look at our currently average team... add in Saponara, Aubemeyang, Darmian. it's already better and we wouldnt have had to spend 30mill on Bacca which means we could have spent it on a midfielder instead.
It's only now, now that we have no money, that we've started using the kids we have. Hopefully Montella continues this...
To add to this... We should actually stick by our youngsters, give them faith, give them the support to realise their potential... Who knows what would have happened if we had kept SES this year instead of sending him away. We might have started to actually see some more from him.
This is what I meant. We don't have to be an exact replica of Benfica or Ajax or whoever. My main point is that the model has to change from Big club, spend money, we HAVE TO win Scudetto to - Dear fans, we will rebuild, using whatever resources we have, this might mean that we do not win anything for a while, but we will stick to an elaborate, well thought out plan to ensure future stability and success.
I would rather we buy 7 hot prospects for the future than spend 20m on Pavoletti. We are not a big club and they need to embrace that and build from here. Honestly, they wouldn't even need to sell had they adopted a new approach a few years ago.
