I disagree.The heart and soul of our prime years were our La Masia players. Besides Carvajal, Nacho, and Vasquez, Real built their current golden generation by being smart in the transfer market and investing in young talent all over to eventually take over. Kovacic, Isco, Asensio, Casemiro, Ceballos, Varane, and Theo all cost under 30me.
Now we're attempting to do the same except our players are a) not young and b) expensive as fck. Oh and the board is so fcking stupid, they reject guys like Asensio.
I'm not one of those people who thinks La Masia is the answer. My issue is our scouting is non-existent. Madrid dug Varane out of Ligue 2 and developed him to what he is now. Why can't we find our Varane? Where is the scouting?
