Expand Not quite sure what is happening but they are aggressively pursuing youth transfers.

Expand In general, yes. They do have a quality youth team. But these signings are not cheap. 20 for Carney, 15 for that goalkeeper, 3-4 million for each of those other players. We are talking close to 50 million for players who are not even going to be near the first team next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
