I remember he was a player who hadn't quite reached the levels of Albert Adomah who we wanted to see a bit more of as he was tricky and quite exciting. People thought he was going to have a good season prior to his sale but I don't think anyone would have predicted his increase in ability. Besides, he was 23 when he left, by that sort of time most players are establishing themselves in a first team, not being described as 'young talents'.

Pogba - 100m? What about Martial last season? Every year the price for talented young players increases. Every transfer is a calculated risk, some won't work out. But you can't use a few that didn't work as a reason to be overly cautious, you have to trust your own scouting. If we signed no foreign players because Styvar didn't work out, we wouldn't have Kodjia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't in the same league as those tho' we don't have a billion pound TV deal fund over the odds deal, If we were in the prem with prem money then yes I'm all for it, but if we were to part 1m for a kid then he better be coming as a first team player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, at a lower level but his pace, strength, determination and skill are evident. He would be adored at City if we got him and I can only see him flourish under LJ.

It's about calculated risk, I very much doubt it would be £1m upfront, it's pretty unheard of these days. The comparison to Akinde doesn't hold up really, some work out and some don't - but you can't apply that to all signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the period leading up to Tomlin signing, there were plenty of our own fans on here saying how shit is our club and its management thus we can't get upset when outsiders have a pop.

GrahamC Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 2 hours ago, hodge said: Hindsight is a beautiful thing, Bolasie barely showed anything with us though, he was a raw talent who developed massively once he moved to Palace, we made 4x the amount we bought him for and have a sell on clause, hardly a bad deal at the time considering he hadn't showed much of a sign of the player he has become. You're right but we made far, far more than that. We paid £20k and then sold him for £500k, which is 25 times as much. For all those who bang on about what a disaster that was, no one else took the £20k punt, did they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
