If Adiyah's problem is work ethic, he should be sold, IMO. We don't need another Oddo.
Goucuff is weak mentally, so it is hard for him to play at highest level, after the WC, I think the regret should be we didn't sell him at better price, not selling him.
And I think most big clubs are not good place for youth develepment. Arsenal is an exception, but they didn't win any big thing recent years, when the competition has been getting stronger.
Barcelona has great youth sector now, but it is their time to shine after many years trophyless. It need great luck to product many world/top class players at the same time: Iniesta, Messi, Valdes, Pique, Pedro, Busquet, even have the luxury of letting Fabregas & Reina go, in addition to the older Xavi & Puyol. No club has this luck.
MU was well know for Giggs, Scholes, Beckham, the Nevilles and Butt, but after them, they haven't had this luck anymore. Oshea, Fletcher, Evans, Rafaels,... still lack something. Ronaldo, Rooney, Anderson, Nani were expensive and not all of them successed.
We just didn't have good youngsters to begin with.
