@happy tiger said:Maybe the Chelsea's , Man U's,Tottenham etc Need to create their own superstars and managers and stop stealing them from West Ham
When you really think about it The above clubs are the Manly's of the EPL
I'm going to bite Happy…
Here's the English roster for Man U 2011-2012:
4\. Phil Jones: Rovers junior;
5\. Rio Ferdinand: West Ham junior (you can have him back if you like :laughing🙂
6\. Jonny Evans: Man U junior;
7\. Michael Owen: Scouser junior;
10\. Wayne Rooney: Everton junior;
12\. Chris Smalling: Maidstone United junior;
16\. Michael Carrick: Wallsend Boys, later West Ham junior (he wasn't even yours to begin with!)
18\. Ashley Young: Watford junior;
19\. Danny Welbeck: Man U junior;
22\. Paul Scholes: Man U junior;
23: Tom Cleverly: Bradford, later Man U junior;
40\. Ben Amos: Man U junior;
48\. Will Keane: Man U junior;
50\. Sam Johnstone: Man U junior;
51\. Ezekiel Fryers: Man U junior.
One legitimate West Ham junior we've poached, and yeah we nicked Carrick later, but we pinched him off Tottenham!
How about West Ham's form, you've got about 3 or 4 Chelsea juniors in your ranks, plus a Man U junior. Who's doing the pillaging? :laughing:
