I speak for myself but I think other peoples point is that its better business to invest 1m a year in a talent, rather than paying 2m a year to an over the hill player that won't develop.
I would rather pay piazon 1m a year in the hope he would develop, rather than paying toni 2m a year knowing he will decline. our whole strategy is questionable, even more so considering we have no chance of any short term success....
i would much rather invest in someone young,avsolutely but i am against paying first team wages to a kid with absolutely NO first team experience and who has only gotten hyped up by some under 17 performances.
put it this way,if we were signing Ganso or Neymar then i could understand paying such high wages to a player that has already shown he has talent and is capable of handling first team football. paying this money to a lad that will almost certainly require 2-4 year developing is financial suicide.
we all remember watching Giovinco tearing up the competition at youth level and while he certainly has skill he has been unable to develop that into regular top team performances. again i use him,Palladino,Bojinov,maresca,etc as prime examples of players who looked like they would be fantastic but have failed to live with the promise,imagine if we were throwing 1m a year at them too!
All I'm trying to say is, the cost of a player doesn't always reflect the talent. We shouldn't be gambling that much money on a kid, especially in the situation we are in now. Yes, we didn't spend wisely on players like Martinez but two wrongs don't make a right. So lets hope this is to more wise negotiations and purchases.
i would rather we bought good young players with first team experience that can fit into our team NOW but also have room to develop. signing the Pirlo's of this world will only result in a short term fix but signing 18 year olds and throwing ridiculous amounts of money at them will only weaken the first team for the next 3-4 years
