Its simple really, return the European Cup to just the teams that are Champions of their domestic leagues and you substantially reduce the odds of losing your best players for a bigger stage. At the moment the agents have four teams to tout their players to.

That said, Citeh sort of contradict my argument if the last two summers are anything to go on.  :-\

I don`t begrudge Downing moving in a way,but  Young is seriously deluded if he
a) Thinks he`s good enough
b)Thinks it`s a given that Man U will walk into the final .Their time is up both tactically and squad age wise.
Why doesn`t  he just stay and try and make us top 4 material.He could be a hero instead of a plank.

You seriously think Downing is better than Young?

Do these people live on the same planet as me? Do A Young and Downing really believe that they're good enough to play Champions League football?

I don't think so.

Agree

Players nowadays are more greedier than Sepp Blatter.  Or is that their agents?
