Falcao moved to Argentina at 20

Suarez is from Uruguay, Ibra was developed in Sweden by Malmo, and Falcao is Colombian. Oh, and you left out Dybala.
Developement isn't a one time thing. All these players spent at least 3-5 years in Netherlands and Argentina, Falcao has never seen the Colombian first division in his lifetime, their nationality is irrelevant, it's about developement. And even if you eliminate those and add Dybala, it's still about the same or more players from the dutch league and that's what you wanted to hear, or not? You don't have to be ingorant or belittleing to me, I'm discussing normally with you and you are laughing at me although I have a point.
top 5 u23
Brasil - Jesus, Marquinhos, Malcom, Arthur, Arana/Wendel
Argentina - Dybala, Correa, Lo Celso, Juan Foyth, Mammana
England - Del Alli, Sterling, Dier, Rashford and Stones.
Not much in it with Brazil and clearly better than Argentinas five.
What age you saying have to play somewhere to be developed?
The English side isn't close. Dybala alone heavily tilts the comparison in Argentina's favor as he's world class and one of the best players in the world.
The English five overall are clearly better and Dybala is not even that great or all that much better than likes of Alli if at all.

Dybala is worth more than most of the English lost, combined. I'd also rather have Lo Celso than any of those English players, while there's not much separating Correa from Sterling or Stones from Mammana.
This is a bullshit way to determine who's responsible for a players to development. Generally, a player is a product of the country and youth system he graduates from. The mark off, generally, is 18.
Dybala may be the best od the lot but not much in it with him and Alli at all. The other English players are clearly playing at a higher level. Is not even close.
Up it to 24 and start including likes of Pogba and Kane gets even more weighted towards English players.
Lo Celso has scored how many in shitty French league compared to likes of Rashford, Alli and Sterling?
You are completely deluded.
But the context that we are discussing is which league would do greater with the ressources that the PL has, and scouting is obviously part of every club so it's not a bullshit way to determine the developement potential of a league, it's the most realistic one because in reality not every talent is homegrown or has been at the own youth. Such things are maybe good for bragging rights, but they are not relevant in our discussion. These players were scouted, bought for a price that their limited ressources can afford and improved into players that would go on to become worldbeaters. Now back to our argument: Translate this behaviour onto a bigger level; give the dutch clubs ressources of larger proportions and they'd be able to use their strengths on a much bigger scale, getting also the more pricy talents and generally being more attractive for players to consider them. This is my point.
I can name more players in the top leagues coming from the dutch league, than from the Argentinian.
