Do you think that's what I'm doing?

It's exactly what you did:

Excellent? Nah. We might be average at it. DCL's emergence has been a serious plus but him, Richarlison and Holgate isn't that impressive of a record when you look at what Salzburg have done from flipping Austria.

That is a direct comparison being made.

You're right it is a direct comparison between RB Salzburg's record of producing players that can succeed at a high level vs ours.

What it isn't is saying RB Salzburg are good enough for the PL or whatever in God's name you interpreted it as.
 
It's more about the players they've produced mate. I know you have trouble with seeing this as valuable for clubs to do but I think it is impressive.

I aint gonna be impressed with anything that Redbull Cartel does, but other than Haaland, who lets face it Molde kicked on, not seeing anybody else personally.

Dont even mention that fella at Liverpool, he cant even get in their squad.

Erm no... I'm interpreting it as you evaluating Everton's handling of youth players vs Salzburg's handling of youth players. You know, what you did.

Completely pointless comparing what two teams do with kids when they play in wildly different leagues.

In the context it was a valid comparison.
 
How? Compare our record to Chelsea, to City, to United, not to a team in a league where you can afford to bunch a team of 15-year olds.
The post I replied to was saying we should have offered for Haaland and given he went to RB Salzburg it is worthwhile to suggest that he may have picked that team over us because they're better at developing players than we are. In context it makes sense.

If you want to compare us to those teams I don't think we are necessarily doing better though.

This is a joke, right?

You are suggesting they produced him?

Utterly insane.
The player they signed at 20 and sold at 22 for 3 times as much who went straight to the PL and scored double digit goals every season? Yeah I'm saying they produced him. Silly me I guess.

This is your opening comment which completely disses Everton and ignores the fact we play in a notoriously stronger league where within that league we're always right up the top for youth minutes:

He's too smart to come here. It isn't a coincidence that the two clubs he's played for this season are both excellent at giving chances to and nurturing young talent.

Also, Sadio Mane was produced at the world famous Metz academy.
