Perhaps 'less significant' would be a better description...

Corbybabes is a classic backbench MP, every party needs them to stir the pot once in a while. He's probably a fantastic MP to his constituents and a very nice guy etc etc. But he was never leadership material. With generation Twitter/Facebook/Momentum backing him he's not going anywhere unless he jumps himself. The start of Labour's decline was when they voted in the wrong Milliband...

Least number of incorrect predictions is usually there or thereabouts, but Quids has so far been bucking that trend. Maybe he's doing a Leicester...

You're ignoring the fact that the current skewed market has added a lot to their value regardless of their 'development'. I notice that Lamella was conveniently left out of that list, not forgetting duds like Paulinho, Capoue and the Romanian defender's name no one cam remember. I suppose I could list all of Spurs' squad and compare them to Rashford who cost zilch. But that would just be another poinless point-scoring exercise. > Whereas United have been trying to follow the > Chelsea/City method of buying success.

United > showed the way in the 90s with success based on a > group of players developed at the club. United were big spenders way before the likes of Chlesea and City. We've always had a mixture of big money players and home grown talent, right back to the days of buying Denis Law from Torino for a then whopping ?100k. When we bought Bryan Robson for ?1.5m it was equivalent to 50% of our income (Note Pogba's oft quoted ?89m fee which happens to include add-ons and his agent's ?18m cut, is no where near 50% of our current income). When the Glazers took over we stopped buying big, that's when Fergie came out with his classic ''no value in the market' comment when receiving ?80m for Ronaldo and spending a fraction of it on Valencia, Owen and Gabriel fooking Obertan. It was that period of a lack of investment in top quality players that I believe has contributed to our current situation just as much as the appointments of Moyes and LVG have. It's only recently with the commercial deals and new TV money kicking-in that we can afford to service the debt the Glazers kindly bestowed on us and make big signings again. All Spurs are presently doing is cutting their cloth to suit, just like Arsenal did when they moved to a new stadium. When Spurs received ?80m+ for Bale they had no problem spending it willy nilly, so save us the moral lecturing. Once you move into your shiny new stadium, sell the naming rights, possibly receive the highest match day revenue for a club, lets see how prudent you are then. I've no beef with Spurs or their fans, in fact I'd be very pleased if they won the league, but less of the 'we're morally superior' attitude please. > Paying players ludicrous overinflated wages seems > to have the opposite to the desired effect.

Not a fair comparison Jah, many of those players were bought several years ago, the market and going rate has changed dramatically since then. How much would those Spurs players have fetched last summer? A lot more than ?84m...
