If, as might be expected, he goes on to do little in his career we'll be none the wiser. If by some miracle he turns into somebody of note Ashton would look a muppet if not hedging the spent asset. Be interesting to note how much this development squad asset cost us? MA isn’t covering his own ass at all - it’s common practice these days to include sell on clauses particularly with young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only where players have been developed. Buying someone (undisclosed,) funding them, not playing them and offloading (undisclosed,) with a clause is a**e covering. Chances are we paid more for him than we'll get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Red Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Martin Samuel, one of the leading footballing writers in the country, rated McCoulsky. Reminder of rising Regis David Pleat tells a story about scouting a young striker, playing for Hayes in the Isthmian League. Cyrille Regis had been scoring prolifically throughout the 1976-77 season and a number of clubs were on to him. Top clubs, too. Back then it wasn’t unthinkable for a player to move directly from non-League to the old First Division. On the night Pleat, then with Luton, watched Regis, so did a dozen or more managers, coaches and scouts. He didn’t have a good game. With about 10 minutes left, the talent-spotters were looking at their watches. A steady trickle made their way towards the exit. Pleat says he was down the stairs on his way out when Hayes’ winger put in a cross and Regis rose four feet above any other player on the pitch to head it into the net. The bosses froze. This was a player with value. Within days, Regis had signed for West Brom, where he scored 112 goals in 301 matches. Pleat uses the story to show that if a player can be the best at just one thing, he has value. Certainly, a player who can leap like a stag will always have his admirers — as Shawn McCoulsky, a 21-year-old forward on loan from Bristol City to Newport, may be about to find out. You can teach a player to become a better footballer; you can’t teach him to jump a torso higher than the rest, and nail a last-minute winner against Leeds. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5247995/Would-FA-act-Roberto-Firmino-broken-neck.html Daily Mail, 8th January 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
