You realise we rebuilt before, as have many many other teams all to no avail.

Here's an exercise, go look at the kids we thought we were 'developing' and tell me which of them are playing their best football for us?

Other than Biraz I can't think of many. All the others were cherry picked by other clubs and have gone on to better things. How the hell this clown thinks we can win a comp by doing that astounds me.

While you're at it look at the best young players across the whole league and see if they are still playing their best football at the club that developed them. The best ones have all moved on.

Yet Miller thinks he's going to bring in the class of '92 and they'll be the three best friends that anyone could have and they'll never ever ever ever ever leave each other.
Thing is if you are gonna base your squad around kids for the future you need to have good solid players around them.

Even under GVE when we signed Taggz Goodwin Birraz Chapman Beard etc we never had the rest of the quality around the side to allow them to develop at their own pace.

SAF at least had Cantona Bruce Pallister Schmeichal Hughes McClair Ince Keane Irwin etc whilst Beckham Butt Scholes Neville etc came through and of course Giggs had been there for a few years before the rest broke through
