They buy any youth that any potential to make it to the big show. While a few make it, most don't and once that potential is washed away, the big club loans said player to the hinterlands. It's the mid-size clubs that should buy the young rising stars so that these kids can get lots of field time and develop before hitting the big show. But, it costs more money for a top tier team to buy a rising star on a mid-level club that it does to by them as an undeveloped youth some. Thus, the by low strategy works for a business perspective for the big clubs. [/QUOTE]
