I’d love to see a list of the young talented players we buy for a decent price and then sell for a bigger price two seasons later. A nice long list would certainly go a long way to cement your point. I’ll wait.

But we haven't done that for a number of years now
The list that’s coming will prove you wrong.
Every purchase we make has a sell on in mind it's policy even levy mentioned that we don't buy superstars we develop them.
It's very similar to the Ajax way they target someone and take a punt the only difference is that they are successful within their own country unlike us, obviously it doesn't make them too competitive on the European stage, but then apart from a few clubs who is.
So who have we sold on, for big profit, in the last few years?
I can only think of Walker.
Any others?
Everyone we sign is a future sell on, eriksen if we hadn't let him run his contract down would have gone for a substantial amount like walker, bale before him.
I'm sure Sanchez, Alli, son will be shifted on at some point perhaps even Kane which would attract a sizeable fee.
So not Eriksen then. Good work to pick a player that disproves your point.
Walker? Yes. We sold him for a profit. But 8 years is hardly a short term punt on a talented player with the intention of a quick sell on.
Bale? Again, a big profit. Probably was a punt. But again, six years isn’t a quick flip either.
Trippier was a decent profit and probably as close as we’ve come to doing what you’ve opined we always do, since Carrick or Berbatov.
And I’m afraid you can’t be backing up your argument with stuff that might happen in the future. Especially when one of the four players you mentioned wasn’t purchased as a punt, but is home grown.
Our policy has changed slightly over the years.
We do buy younger players with potential. That way if they turn out not good enough then we can recoup the outlay.
The ones who are good enough we do everything we can to keep them.
We could of cashed in on at any time, the following
Hugo
Toby
Jan
Dombele
Eriksen
Kane
To name a few. But we didn't, in fact we did the opposite. We did everything we could to keep them.
Eriksen is a prime example of that. We knew his contract was running down and still Levy refused to cash in until the last possible moment, in the hope that he would stay.
But the club probably knew he wouldn't sign a new contract so this has to be one of those occasions where levy from a financial pov called it wrong.
Player's wishing to compete and win trophies at the highest level will eventually move on from us which is understandable.
Ok but you're moving on from your original point.
There is no evidence to back up your claim. You were asked to provide a list by both me and pipes ,you've been unable to do so.
So I'm out
How do I need to provide a fucking list when it's a fluid thing plus the poster you mentioned is on ignore as he is one of the cock suckers but yes goodbye.
A cock sucker because I disagree when you make a point with no evidence that you can’t back up and then change completely?How do I need to provide a fucking list when it's a fluid thing plus the poster you mentioned is on ignore as he is one of the cock suckers but yes goodbye.
Scared of a debate? You fucking Jessie.
But ignore away, I’ll just carry on making you look like an idiot like everyone else does. Like you need the help.
I don’t think they will. Without the tv money, the clubs you mention are actually pretty fucked. Both Leicester and Everton have the highest wages to turnover ratios in the league. Those two and Bournemouth. All 3 clubs are where levy should be looking for purchases in the next window because of the virus they may well need to sell a few players to balance the books.

Here's your original post.
There is no evidence of us doing anything like that for a number of years.
All I've asked is for you to provide evidence of what you said.
If you can't then just admit you can't.
If you can, then do so
As I said in an earlier post Everton decided to bet on getting CL football and hoping they will build a stadium to generate the kinds of revenues we now have.
High risk and its not paid off for them.
Spurs don't need to take high risk strategies to continue to develop from our current position - with the stadium in place and bonds in place whose repayment averages 23 years away, we will have higher revenues (now bigger than Woolwich for the first time in a decade or so) and provided we live within those we should win out, providing we buy well, or at least not badly.
