Definitely not a model we should be looking at with envy. I think Brighton fans may argue that White was their 3rd best Centre Back last year behind Dunk and Webster, although White is obviously very highly rated. I was trying to say that given their situation, that they are not backed by multiple-billionaires (I think Tony Bloom is around about that valuation?) and have the fifth smallest stadium in the league, the best way to continually improve their Club is to sell players who have two years left on their contract (In Bissoumas case, three for White) at large profits and then put those profits back in to the first team and youth setup. It's a clever approach and, in my opinion, the right approach for them. I did not compare them to Villa. We are in an entirely different situation. Simply liked what they were doing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger replacements. If you have the correct recruitment team it's the only way to go unless you can suddenly jump to man u, Liverpool levels of revenue. Or bank rolled endlessly.

I think Southampton were one of the earliest examples of this kind of business. They were doing very well at it for a while as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
