I think we are doing that..

But we need to reduce the cost of english players.. Look at Luke Shaw?

How many professional appearances? less than 50.. less than 5 caps… 30 million..

If he was italian or spanish we'd pay a third of that price.. Man U have stumped up the cash so a young englishman will get experience of top level football but how many other clubs would do that? and you can't blame them..
