Prospects don't sign for them for trophies, that's clear.
They sign for them to develop and be sold to a stronger club.
We all know why, but Monaco has become a well-run business.
Barca had a golden generation and build a team on them, but such things don't occur too often. Monaco sold most of theirs.
No academy in the world can produce world-class talents season in season out to keep club competitive.
That explains why they are this weaker this season. Prospects were better last year, as simple as that.
Monaco won a domestic trophy a year ago. More than Napoli or Roma can say they’ve won in years.
The same argument you’re making against Monaco now was made the summer they sold Martial and friends. They bounced back, and will again, because they are the best developmental club in Europe.
