Tyler Morton

[Exiled_red]

I think he's at least at the level of Kiernan Dewbury Hall, who went for 25-30 million having not played for a year.

Didn't Dewbury Hall have a couple of years of PL experience though?

Also he went to Chelsea, IMO there is a difference in fee paid for similar quality players if you are selling up to a bigger club, compared to if you are selling down to a smaller club. - The implication being a small club selling to a bigger club is letting one of their better players go presumably onto bigger things, a big club selling to a smaller club is typically this player hasn't made it here but he might be ok for you/needs regular games but isn't good enough to get them here... etc, which makes them less 'prized' and that is usually reflected in the fee.

Maybe, but he has 2 years PL experience on TYler. Buying potential with Tyler being 4 years younger.

I think as long as we have a decent sell on/Buy back clause its a decent deal

Yeah, not unhappy with the deal tbh, think I saw somewhere 20% sell on. Hope he does well.

Good luck to him, had a few decent games for us a few years back but wasn't really at the level.

Not sure where to put this but we have done really well in recent years getting good money for players who have come through the academy who haven't made it here Brewster £23m, van den Berg £20m, Williams £17m, Morton £15m, Ward £12m, Wilson £12m, Clark £10m, Hoever £10m. That's over £100m for players who barely played for us. Add to that £35m for Quansah and £18m for Kelleher, who were squad players and played a fair bit that's over £150m from the academy in the last 5 or so years

Rob Page has come in & got good preseason results despite being without his star players. Albeit there’s been the players who were out on loan like Gordon, Beck etc but still good to see good results when a new coach comes in.

Still fills me with amazement. £23m for Brewster.

That’s got to be around £50m in today’s money

Carvalho too.

Carvalho too.

Did he even play last season?

19 appearances 2 goals. Will get more time this season you’d imagine with Mbuemo away and Wissa likely to leave.

[Exiled_red]

Carvalho too.

I didn't mention him or Solanke as we paid a few million quid for each (~£7.5m for Carvalho and £3m for Solanke) and brought them in as promising young players who spent relatively little time in the academy as they were mostly in or around the first team squad. So I would probably say it is fairer to count them as first team signings rather than academy sales, but we sold them for £20m each so made about £30m profit on them

Elliott would be another who falls into this category IMO

Carvalho too.

Brad Smith as well rinsed Bournemouth for £6million

Brad Smith as well rinsed Bournemouth for £6million

If we are going to keep pointing the finger at Bournemouth, then the 15m for Jordon Ibe has to be mentioned.

[spud_gun]

I'm sure Bournemouth are more than happy with the Dom Solanke deal.

Signed for £20m? And sold for almost £60m
