But those young players have to be given a shot. If the ranks of your team are filled with full 'old' international players only, those kids will never get a look in. I guess the League Cup, FA and less games in the prem are there for showing these talented youth player what they can do. Although I feel each club should develop and produce a player that can fill a role, not just buying that role. All of Man Us starting 11 are purchased. I don't even like the fact that some of Saints youths aren't getting in the first team because we are building for european football. I'd prefer if we stayed 8th, developed great youth players while being consistant. |
James WIlson got a good bit of playing time last year and will likely get several EPL starts this year unless United sign a big name striker (even then, Wilson got in over Falcao). Tyler Blackett started several games when the injuries were mounting, until he was injured himself.
I think you can criticize Van Gaal for a lot, but not playing his youth players isn't one of them.
