You realise that core means exactly that - a core?!I can only come up with 3 reasons why we're taking this path and none of them are nice to say the least
A- We're on some sort of train of nostalgia, were we believe that only British players will provide us with a honest day's work. In that case we're not only insulting the many foreigners that had spitted blood for our cause but it will be a rather foolish and expensive way to manage the club
B- As said our scouts aren't trusted. In that case why the feck we're hiring 50+ scouts in the first place.
C- We're not attracting the top foreign talent we need and must therefore rely on the local pool to dig ourselves out. Which isn't exactly a great idea either as there's a reason why those same players aren't attracting attention from other top clubs as well.
If you ask me, I think its a mix of B and C.
It doesn’t mean that Utd are shutting down the barriers to Johnny Foreigner does it - don’t be so ridiculously over dramatic. Utd aren’t suddenly going to only buy British Beef - are they?
There is absoubtly no need to bring in squad players on obscene wages like Fred and Rojo when McTommney and the likes can fill those roles.
Utd’s lack of strategy in the transfer market, and scattergun approach has been one of our biggest issues - at least this is a strategy. I can assure you we will still be trying to buy top quality players from across the world as well.
