We don't want football in the UK to be all about buying power, there needs to be more home grown talent coming through the clubs themselves. Chelsea is all about spending and many other clubs are following their lead. Although United have been partially guilty of this, their youth policy is well documented and this way of cultivating players is IMO the best way to bring talent in to the game. Chelsea are leading the way in to taking the game apart. This may be the footballing culture in other countries (Spain, for instance) but it's certainly not wanted here.
