Hound What they managed to do is scout in some players for smallish fees - around a million or two and then sell big, which gave them the cash to buy more proven players like Toney
Excellent scouting but think it started with finding Maupay and selling for 20m I think it was. Obviously a lot easier said than done. We ‘found’ a far better player than that in Olise but because of various poor planning we didn’t make the most of the opportunity
Yeah I suspect a lot of ours could come through the academy. Olise being the main one, Holmes attracts yearly interest, Loader moved on etc. If we can continue to bring them through as we progress, then that's where I think we can both profit and benefit from, it's hardly like we are short of quality talent in our academy at the moment.
We likely won't be spending boatloads of money again unless we can receive a lot from sales, so it will be important that we can get our main couple of purchases correct and look to build from that.
