That could get interesting!

Been happening for years. The fact it's happened isn't a surprise, personally at least, it's the money potentially spent on a 14yr old that is shocking.  4 hours ago, Clever Fox said: This just further highlights everything that's wrong with the Premier League. It's also exactly what we wanted us to be doing the other year. System needs a change. 1
Phenom Posted 16 August 2023 Posted 16 August 2023 I sign all the wonder kids and regens for this in FM. Usually works out 3
Holly B Posted 17 August 2023 Posted 17 August 2023 City have paid well over the EPPP compensation value so there won’t be any sell on clause 1

Sly Posted 18 August 2023 Author Posted 18 August 2023 It happens.  It’s a punt, if he’s half decent they’ll get the money back in a few years.Â
Sly Posted 18 August 2023 Author Posted 18 August 2023 Although, I thought Nazar (?) was the wonder kid in the academy? 😂  I struggle to keep up with the U23s though, so I’d never heard of Nbouisse.Â

Don't think Leicester could say no even through we weren't desperate for 1.2m   I think we may have just become Man City’s feeder club!
Shit_arse Posted 18 August 2023 Posted 18 August 2023 (edited) £1M fee is mental but shows his potential i suppose.  Be interesting to see if he 'makes it' Edited 18 August 2023 by Shit_arse 1
AjcW Posted 18 August 2023 Posted 18 August 2023 Not sure why everyone is moaning, i'm more annoyed that we spent 8 years in the prem hoovering up Aston Villa youth rejects rather than doing exactly this!! 1
Long Eaton Fox Posted 18 August 2023 Posted 18 August 2023 Didn't we pay blackburn £1m for some kid a few years back. Callum something?

Not good.  On 15/08/2023 at 14:48, Sol thewall Bamba said: Yeah this. How can losing talent be classed as Seagrave "paying dividends"   On 16/08/2023 at 17:07, UniFox21 said: Just seems ridiculous money for a 14yr old.    On 16/08/2023 at 17:26, Pliskin said: Jesus wept. How disgustingly obscene is this. Im confused is this proving Seagrave is a waste of time, or Seagrave earning obscene money for a 14 year old child?Â
