UEFA president Michel Platini has criticised Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and other clubs who buy players at a young age.
Wenger is famous for investing in burgeoning talent and developing youngsters into major stars.
But Platini is not a fan of his fellow Frenchman's strategy and told the BBC Sport Website: "I do not like the system of Arsene Wenger.
"In France, Italy and Spain it is easy to buy with money the best players at 14, 15 or 16. I don't like that."
He added: "If the best clubs buy the best 15 or 16 players that is finished for all the clubs in Europe.
"If my son is playing at Millwall and at 16 Manchester come in for this player then when will Millwall have a good team?"
it is not easy to just train another younster that is as good as the sold one.....some clubs dun even have money for an academy now....think crewe alexandra. they just keep selling their best young players and in the end they can't even produce younsters anymore....and new youngsters coming in are maybe not even as talented as the old ones....Originally posted by iveco:Millwall can always train another youngster to replace the one sold to Man Utd.
Anyway, with the $$ from selling their yount talented players, they can buy new and better ones too, can't they?![]()

You forgot that Roy Reane is doing the RoI team a favour too. Half the Black Cats hail from Eire.Originally posted by iceFatboy:only millwall??
for me, wenger is the manager paid in British pound, but destroying english football..
He is using the money in arsenal and building players that are destroying England's hope of winning anything.
Platini is just trying to move people's view to another angle. throw some smoke only.
but the truth, wenger is helping french soccer team as a whole, plus all others nations, except england.
chelsea is not, MUFC is not, and Liverpool is not.
Err... He has coach the French national side before... even Wenger hasn't done that yet... And he was named European Coach of the Year by El PaÃs and Manager of the Year by the World Soccer Awards after a record 19-match unbeaten run including notable victories away to Spain and Czechoslovakia...Originally posted by LazerLordz:What does Platini know about management..
Not in contemporary times, and never for a club, IIRC..Originally posted by zocoss:Err... He has coach the French national side before... even Wenger hasn't done that yet...

Haha, yes. Good point indeed.Originally posted by 4getmenot:can milwall be a good team with young good player? or can a young player actually have a good chance for further development if he was to stay in a non-league club?? platini shud ask this himself before he start blabbering like blatter..
you are focusing on the player, whereas platini is focusing on the clubs and national level.Originally posted by 4getmenot:can milwall be a good team with young good player? or can a young player actually have a good chance for further development if he was to stay in a non-league club?? platini shud ask this himself before he start blabbering like blatter..

[b]UNDER-FIRE WENGER WANTS KID
Arsenal have been linked with a 15-year-old Spanish striker just a day after Michel Platini criticised Arsene Wenger's policy of recruiting foreign teenagers. Pablo Sarabia is on Real Madrid's books and as he is under the age of 16, the Spanish club are powerless to stop him moving to the Premier League.
Cesc Fabregas and Fran Merida both came to Arsenal at a similar age from Barcelona, and UEFA President Michel Platini is keen to stop such moves.
Platini said: "I do not like the system of Arsene Wenger. In France, Italy and Spain it is easy to buy with money the best players at 14, 15 or 16. I don't like that. "If the best clubs buy the best 15 or 16 players that is finished for all the clubs in Europe.
