Ronaldo Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I've got a novel idea, why don't we just buy the best players we possible can and not give a fuck about where they come from? That's more like a completely pointless and unrealistic idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 The Segunda is a terrible standard like, I watch it every week and it's not even near Championship level in my opinion. Precisely. People are talking like everyone playing at Segunda level is another Ayoze ffs I've got a novel idea, why don't we just buy the best players we possible can and not give a f*** about where they come from? You are aware that a lot of La Liga youth talent play in Segunda right? because their B teams are there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying that it's quite likely that Ayoze isn't the only talented player plying his trade in that division. Also suitable for us at this point isn't exactly a high standard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are aware that a lot of La Liga youth talent play in Segunda right? because their B teams are there? They mostly play in the third tier of Spanish football, the only B team playing in the Segunda at the moment is Barcelona and they're looking like they'll go down this season. There are a few La Liga players loaned to the Segunda clubs though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are talking like everyone playing at Segunda level is another Ayoze ffs I've got a novel idea, why don't we just buy the best players we possible can and not give a fuck about where they come from? It doesn't mean trawling the Segunda for Spanish Karl Henry's. It means identifying young talented Spaniards who will be available for a fraction of the price of English players the same age. Like Ayoze. It's not like we bought the only talented youngster in the division and everyone else is shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Spanish football is miles ahead of English football and I'm not talking about professional leagues.

Village Idiot Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Liga Adelante is certainly more technical than the C'ship; but it's also very slow and with acres of space for players to exploit - that's actually what makes it pretty watchable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 was just messing. My only point was that I think it was admirable that he came from there t the PL and stepped up that quickly tbh. You're still having to defend your comment mate? was pretty clear to me - you were giving him props for showing up from a "lower" league in Spain and coming here and adapting so quickly. Anyhow, I agree - would love for us to be signing tons of young Spanish talent. If we're going French, we generally have picked the right players - they've just been managed by the almighty Alan Pardew and John Coach of the Year Carver. Some of them were more finished articles: Remy, Cabaye, Debuchy - some were still bit raw: Sissoko, MYM etc and then you've got the enigma that is Hatem who we don't need to expand on. Regarding being so skint - we could have well-had Remy permanently, Grenier, and Lacazette. Probably combined for a couple extra million; 5 max. Idiotic.

Village Idiot Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Not being touted for the Spain U21s yet? He's already played for them, he just got dropped when Carver took over and his form (and everybody's) dipped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
