Lets take the last 2-3 years. We bought Reach for £5m. In January after his high profile goals £8-10m would be realistic in an inflated market for young, fit English players. Why we didn’t sell him given our finances is beyond me. We picked up Lees for next to nothing. 2 years ago he would have commanded £3-4m comfortably. At his peak, Forestieri was worth £10m plus. Bannan has been touted as an £8-10m value player. We haven’t improved many but there have been some we should have sold if we are going to be run as a financially viable football club.

Our inability to nurture talent is a long term problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign a young player for less than a million then 18 months later sell him for silly money. Other clubs do it, we have to start doing it! one thing dem lot are good at, I think chansiri has tried to upgrade youth but tbh we are surrounded by top drawer set ups including them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
