Hi Zatman, we are quite pragmatic about it, in the past we've had nobody worth selling but we now have a great academy, we have a purpose built 3,000 seater stadium just for the academy and u-18s etc.
We have a scouting system who do not dismiss any player who are lower league
we have produced John Stones, Mason Holgate, Alfie Mawson, Sam Winnall, now we have James Bree, Conor Hourihane, all in the last 3 years.
Centre back Roberts being sniffed around by West Brom at 8 million, (we got him from non league Halifax for nowt) Only ever played professional a few games at L1 level and this year at CH level In the top 5 centre backs in the league now.
Jackson centre back only played 26 games professionally in L2 before joining us, developing superbly
McDonald centre back signed from non league Torquay, never played league football professionally, becoming a great centre back attracting 3 million interest from Norwich
Good scouting and the right way of teaching these players is our business model and at the moment it is producing dividends.
We can't afford to pay 12 million for a flop!
