Tuna Posted 9 August Posted 9 August How sad it will be watching him play for Derby, Blackburn or QPR on loan next season.

davieG Posted 9 August Posted 9 August Just now, jv1 said: All talent developed at lower league clubs get sold to higher leagues if there any good - that’s the whole point of the blooming system- tells me the academy is in a decent place if we are banging out our 16 and 18 yr olds for 10m a piece to top prem clubs isnt that the whole point - the decent ones will always go upwards and you live as a club off the spoils - that’s 101 True but if you have ambitions to be a PL team £10m now and then wont get you there. Better that they're being poached from you as a PL team you'd expect to get more than £10m then.
MPH Posted 9 August Posted 9 August (edited) Well, this is how a team in the lower divisions stays afloat. They sell assets. We all want a decent striker , don’t we? Edited 9 August by MPH 2

He's been getting playing time, with the size of the squad and the number of games only a few players will play 90mins in most of them 1
jv1 Posted 9 August Posted 9 August The other side of that coin is you get left with the rubbish ones like Thomas and hamza and can’t get rid after you have invested loads in them
honeybradger Posted 9 August Posted 9 August Wasn't going to play that much this season anyway. Selfishly I just want him to move on so I don't get frustrated by him being on the bench/out of the squad when Chaplin returns. 1

As fans though, the one fairy tail that we all hold onto is that we build a successful side where 9 of the starting 11 are local academy products who will die for the badge.

Amen to that my friend it’s Joseph , aluko , braybrooke and alves that need to now step up and give us the next set of 10m plus youngsters we can sell on over the next few years or we will be lucky to have a club 1
AKCJ Posted 9 August Posted 9 August **** me I hate football. We need to rinse these. Shouldn’t accept less than £20m. I genuinely think he will be a complete star. 2

RedSoxUK Posted 9 August Posted 9 August These are ****ing idiots seriously. They had the opportunity a month ago to make this happen. If we're going to sell to them let's ****ing extract as much tourist money as possible. **** it £15m-£20m. ****s. If we're quite insistent on Souttar's valuation, then I imagine we're in a healthier position after Fatawu's exit so yeah. £15m min **** off

I ****ing hate it. we are clearly not doing it so we can keep them.. that’s a wild jump to come to that conclusion. I actually think they might be pricing themselves out of a move… so we have to see what we can to make it all work. 1

richardsfoxes Posted 9 August Posted 9 August Sucks, really wanted us to build a team around him. We've got no one to blame but ourselves.

We are selling these players so we can afford to keep the wage bill afloat because nobody will take these bums off of us. It’s literally what we are doing to avoid going under. 1

Yep this - we are are selling the only assets we can - nobody wants the others - it’s not rocket science

I don’t totally disagree as mukasa was a complete waste of time but if I’m also being honest iv not seen loads from page to say he was going to be our next tielemans or Maddison either - looked very limited last year and still does when I see him play - could go on to great things obviously but he is no prodigy Edited 9 August by jv1

Now Nelson is crocked, we know we're getting nothing for him and at the same time, will be paying for his rehab. We need to sell a couple more asap.
