Platini is nuts
"I do not like the system of Arsène Wenger," the former France international said. "In France, Italy and Spain it is easy to buy with money the best players at 14, 15 or 16. I don't like that. If the best clubs buy the best 15 or 16 players, [then it] is finished for all the clubs in Europe. If my son is playing at Millwall and at 16 Manchester [United] come in for this player, then when will Millwall have a good team?" -Michel Platini-
When everyone has been praising Wenger for grooming a young Arsenal into potential champions, Platini has condemned Wenger's methods. Maybe he is just bitter that Henry broke his goal scoring record for France. Poor Platini wanting people to notice him.
Why shouldn't Wenger snap up young talent if he can groom them into Fabregases? Platini's argument is that teams like "Millwall" can not improve if they have their potential future star taken away. Put Wayne Rooney in Millwall and Millwall will be Premierleague champions? I think not.
If Millwall do have a potential Rooney or Fabregas, he has a better shot of realizing his full potential if he joins a youth programme and go up against talented youngsters on a daily basis. Or playing at a top level against top level opposition to improve. How often does a Fabregas comes along? If say Millwall have a potential Fabregas, who is going to support him? How long does Millwall have to wait for another potential Rooney or potential Terry to come along and improve the team? 50 years?
Point is, as good a player Platini was, he doesn't know what he is rambling about half the time. Wasn't he the guy who is proposing that FA Cup winners be let into the Champions League? Seriously.
Would Lampard be the player that he is if he stayed at West Ham? Would Joe Cole be the player that he is if he stayed at West Ham? They stayed at West Ham but didn't win a thing. Were regarded as players with unlimited potential but not realizing half of it. Enough said.
