Shown undoubted class at times but on the whole seems to have been underwhelming, perhaps mainly because of injury, and the fact that there was real high expectations when he signed and what he showed initially.

Explains why they’ve cast the net so wide for midfielders, it’s basically replacing the whole lot. Keita, Thiago, Henderson and Milner for Thuram, Szlob, Mac Allister and Lavia. Hell of an energy upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City just printing money with their academy. that’s the difference. It’s where we aim to be in five years time, and I’m glad the club are actively now going down that route with Minteh/Kuol etc. Chelsea & City can sell their built up over time assets for extraordinary fees, which protects them from FFP, something which we are unable to do. we’ve raked in £15m or so since Howe came and spent £300m. It’s why I’ve said you have to be ruthless in this business. We should have sold or sell saint-maximin this summer. We can’t afford to carry players who produce one magical game and then get injured and are out for 10 games. I love ASM but with the FFP clearly an issue, we need to consider it, and extract maximum value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love ASM but with the FFP clearly an issue, we need to consider it, and extract maximum value. Breeding then selling young prospects has a much bigger FFP connotation than buying young and cheap and selling, but yeah, you have to say, massive financial cheats though City and Chelsea are, and have been for years, they've been canny enough to not forget the other end of things, the youth sales. What makes this interesting now is that a lot of Championship and newly promoted PL clubs look at exactly this sort of end of the market, and have the money to buy in it, as well. As an example, if we sold Cameron Archer this summer - which I hope we do not - I reckon he'd fetch close to £20m, for a player who had barely featured for us, but had definitively 'done it' at Championship level. A while ago I remember reading an interview with someone high up in a PL academy - it might have been ours, I genuinely can't remember - and he was saying that given the vast numbers of players who go in and never make it, people don't realise what a huge impact the occasional sale at even 5m or 10m makes - both in terms of the costs of running an academy, but other things like FFP, and the immense amount of both effort and luck needed from both club and player to get them to that point.
