Lisbons Young Lions - Winning Everything with Kids.

Sporting Lisbon is well known for there youth system and producing world class players on a consistant basis with the two biggest players to grace there academy being Luis Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo however they also have other noteworthy players such as Jao Moutinho, Nani, Miguel Veloso, Ricardo Quaresma to name a few and all full Portugese Intertantionals.

Despite all there great success in producing great youth players they never hold on to them for too long to make a decent run at the title or even qualify for the champions league itself.

So with all the youth players being sold on young, no titles and not gaining the extra revenue from the champions league whats going to give and change? Do we hold onto our talent for longer and risk loosing out on some money and make a run for the title or do we sell the young players and re invest in established players?

Well for me the solution is simple. We keep the youth and promote from within whilst signing some experienced profespsionals to lend a hand in the dressing room and in the club itself.

I also want to get Ronaldo back for just one season.

So here are my goals:

Buy and produce only young players - Allowing myself 2 signings over the age of 25 per season.
Challenge and eventually win the Portugese league.
Play a full home grown starting 11.
Become Portugese national manager.
Win the Champions league.
Bring back Ronaldo.
