Still Pining for Wenger
Every single great side was built from buying within the league. I am not saying that all the buys listed below were fantastic, just that from all of the evidence it is clear that buying premiership players helps lead to success.
City- Nasri, Adebayor, Clichy, Sagna, Barry, Delph, Kolo Toure
Chelsea- Lampard, Cole
United- Carrick, Rooney, Judas, Ferdinand, Keane, Cantona
Liverpool- Wjinaldum, Henderson
I know that we've bought players from other PL clubs but by and large I feel like we haven't to the same extent as other clubs have. They have generally bought players within their prime to build their squad around. We've bought stop gaps or guys at the end of their careers. I think any good rebuild has to be centered around players who are experienced in the premiership and know what is required.
