Not that one.The Watford guy?
Sarry.Not that one.
no.The Watford guy?
Extremely highly rated.
Glad we’ve reverted back to signing young talent after our hiatus. We can’t compete for world stars and proven clogger types never seem to do a job for us.
Him, Gill are the kind of signings we need to be making in order to get us back on the map.
Kane, Eriksen, Bale...Signing them is only half the job though. The difficult thing is making sure they are developed to their full potential and we don’t have a great recent track record at that (Foyth,Clarke, Sessegnon etc)
Dele, Dier, Rose, Walker. All bought as kids under 20 for less than £5m a pop. All made over 200 appearances for the club in top sides, even if Dier and Dele aren’t at peak form anymore.Kane, Eriksen, Bale...
For every bust there's a winner
Yep. Honestly these players are on low wages and their agents aren’t as likely to seek 10M signing bonus so a 20M young un costs half of what a 20M Aurier does (fully loaded)Extremely highly rated.

Dier and Dele could have been flipped for 130M a few years ago…. We’ve had such success with hoovering up young lads, no idea why we’ve stopped. Bale, Lennon, Dawson beforeDele, Dier, Rose, Walker.

The players you flagged up are not particularly recent are they?Kane, Eriksen, Bale...

Sessegnon cant trap a bag of cement, what exactly do you want us to develop?Signing them is only half the job though. The difficult thing is making sure they are developed to their full potential and we don’t have a great recent track record at that (Foyth,Clarke, Sessegnon etc)
Welcome to the forum. Couldn't agree more.Sessegnon cant trap a bag of cement, what exactly do you want us to develop?
