Which ever way you look at it, we certainly didn’t maximise those resources either in the footballing sense or the financial sense. If we managed the development of the football side with those three players better, we would have also reaped better financial rewards than the 20m those three gave us.

Zaniolo is off as well now by the looks
I'm bored of this so I'm off to Sainsbury's to try and haggle a discount on the baked beans

Sainsbury's own brand ?
I read it as “pay up spurs you tight fucks, we know you’ve got loads of cash!”
Lol Levy is probably cursing Deloitte this morning. He didn't want anyone to know how flush we are until the window closed.

He probably simply takes them out of the food bank donations
Ok. Take Troy Parrott. 3 years ago there were calls for him to start when we had that striker crisis under Mourinho. He's had loans and 3 years on he's still nowhere near. I hope he has a good career, he obviously has some ability but i dont think it will be top half prem. And you'd say he was one of our better prospects of the last 4 years . I think it says more about our youth scouting over the last few years than anything. You mention Chelsea, the difference is they pay their youth players big money so attract the best. We decided against doing that rightly or wrongly to keep their hunger. I wish Chelseas version wasnt more successful because its to the detriment of the game but likes most things in life you get what you pay for.
Traore is still available . Beggers cant be choosers. Just saying.
It's really easy to do deals if you don't have cunt owners.
They were also given a transfer ban a couple of years ago as punishment for their youth recruitment processes. Sadly; their ban was reduced on appeal and they still got to keep all the players they breached the rules over.
Moral of this story: Cheats prosper.
As for Troy; you said so yourself.... That was in a "crisis".... We had Kane, Son, Bergwijn & Lamela all missing. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
But now we know he's no where near. But loaning Parrot out is a whole lot better than what we were doing. No loans, taking out of U21 games and just training with the first team. So these players were getting ZERO game time for over a year.
Absolute wank development. Again, it's a testament to Walker Peters that, despite how awfully he was treated, he's made a decent career and got an England cap out of it.
Just wonder how good he may have been if he actually played mens football at the age of 17 or 18 as opposed to not playing a lick of competitive men's football consistently until the age of 22.
Probably.
Thing for us now is that we have this reputation for cheap lowballs that teams have probably starting assuming we can pay more than our first bid, even if it's reasonable.
I was wondering how long it would take to reach the annual "preparing to verbally make a preliminary offer for Traore" phase
I suppose we are waiting for the usual scrambling around final week mode.
Perhaps someone, might come in on loan, but I think we are going to hear we tried bollocks.

Do you want us to do a Leeds?
You're right. Better monitor the situation some more.
If its purely not loaning young players then we're in agreement. It was always stupid and always my biggest bugbear with Poch. If he does come back he needs to be told thats still going to happen. The biggest mistake with Walker-Peters was buying Aurier. KWP would have been perfectly capable back up to Trippier in 17/18.
