What on earth you on about? Lingard came through the United academy. Gomez and Dele were both bought by their clubs.
I referenced Lingard because he is a relatively average player that has somehow hung up to his place in the squad during the same years that Gomez and Alli have been targeted, signed and progessed (and I feel that United should be targeting players of profiles like Gomez and Alli).
Obviously it's not just Lingard - there are other players that we have that I look at and think "
Why is he here whilst our rivals are looking at X?".
I am not now comparing United's academy to either Liverpool's or Tottenham's, nor at any point have I done so.
My point about Alli is self-explanatory.
Would you not like us to target talented young players, the type we used to sign, during the Ferguson years?
