also Henry and Pires may be the biggest success in England but your forgetting about other leagues. the EPL is not the benchmark you know. Most of the top French players in the last 15 years have gone to Italy and Spain. in these countries they have been successful.
The French youth system is miles better than the English. nobody can deny that.
if its the french youth system that is so great, why not groom the local ones instead of having to get those from africa?
we are comparing england and france here not italy and spain so ur outta point there.
Not sure if u have noticed but not every good player out of france is picked up in Africa.
Going by the amount of youngsters we have signed in recent months from abroad I guess u think the Liverpool academy is useless then?
