But while we're doing this well in this department we're spending endless of money on overpriced players and this can't only be blamed on Secco/Marotta. Why did we not find Subotic, Cissokho, JoJo, Cavani, Thiago Silva, Kjaer and so on? None of these are from their operatives youthsystem but scouted young players bought at decent price (I don't mean what Lyon payed to FCP...).
Perhaps this discussion should be taken in another thread. I am however not saying that you're wrong.
