No, I really think the best way to build long term success for your national team is what your NT coach is doing, not what today's top teams do.
Well although there are some crossovers between club and country ideal players, you will be committing to much higher salaries IF all you plan to do is bow down to the NT manager and what happens when someone better comes along?? You get stuck with a massively high wage guy on the peripheral of the NT or worse still off the roster and almost valueless.
Also what if the next NT manager doesn't like how you've trained the guy?
IF you build the best you possibly can for your team and your NT manager disagrees the you are fighting a losing battle anyway as that proves there are managers prepared to train inefficiently to get their player on the NT set up or again worse still too many active farm teams in your country.
