niceBalance is the key to most things in life. A football team is all about balance..... between youth and experience... left and right..... bought and locally produced...... craft and graft ..... foreign and British. The hard part is getting the balance right.
Hipster stuff. I'd take the mercenaries like van der vaart, modric, bale and assou-ekotto over local lads any day, if the former gets Spurs into CL and the latter gets us into seventh.

Depends on talent, problem with Bale and the like the non-Spurs supporting players is that the second they become WC or close to it they want to fuck off and we have to re-build again. Would be nice if Kane and Mason turn out to be top quality players, someone who might make us a good team and not piss off the second they feel they have out grown us (hopefully).
Other issue is that we have been buying players who are no upgrade on what we have in comparison to some of our youth players, if two players have the same ability and it's a choice between some guy from Brazil and an acadamy player it's an easy decision. We need to buy less players and when we do buy go for some real quality even if that means a bit of extra cash cos right now it just feels we have a bundel of imports who are just clogging up the team, Mason has been our best midfielder and Kane has been our best attacker this season and from what I have read we have quite a few more kids on the way. That being said if they ain't got the talent no matter how much they care it won't happen.
