But you look at those lads there, and to be fair, they went on to have long careers in the game.
And I think ultimately these lads now have just won the...
the under-17 championships, they should get long careers in the game.
They should get long careers in the game because they've got a big talent.
So if they don't get long careers in the game, something's gone fundamentally wrong somewhere along the line, either individuals or collectively the system's failing.
They have to get careers in the game.
I think, yeah, I completely agree.
Character and mentality, the difference between players.
I think that skill is a given for you to get into a Premier League under-16, 17 club.
There are thousands of players who get into the system with skill and an ability and a talent.
The ones who make it to the top are the ones who've got that higher level of character and personality, temperament, the things, the focus, concentration.
It was interesting, I thought on Saturday I was watching the Manchester United game
and looked at the players that Jose Mourinho's now picking and thought six of those players were at the club when Sir Alex Ferguson was there.
Valencia, Young, you see his performance on Saturday, Jones, Smalling, De Gea, Rashford, maybe tweaking it a little bit there, but he was at the club, obviously, been at the club a long time.
And you think about that, that one of the great managers in the world, Jose Mourinho,
He wants players he can trust, who he can rely upon in big games.
And a lot of the players who've been there in the last, you know, the other players in the team, he signed, so Matic, Lukaku.
Bailly.
Did he sign Mkhitaryan or not?
I can't remember.
