Exactly, you lose that feral footballer instinct. We’re creating a generation of footballers that are all from the same mould. Then breaking young players that get cast aside at a young age that aren’t mentally prepared for rejection.
I also believe it leads to the 'modern day' footballer mentality. My friend who is a coach has an u10s team and a lad released from a prem team's academy came down for training, the lad complained about the lack of facilities...
Swansea City winger Dan James' agreed move to Manchester United will lead to a financial bonus for Hull City. We get £750k.
Hull City are looking at signing Dundee defender Nathan Ralph on a free transfer, according to reports. An exclusive by The Sun suggests the Tigers lead the chase for the 26-year-old, who has spent the past season north of the border having joined from Woking last year. Ralph has featured 32 times in all competitions this season and the left-back, who has also featured on the left side of midfield, will look to trigger a relegation clause in his current contract following Dundee's poor season in the Scottish Premiership. The Sun also report that the club have already contacted Ralph's representatives, with Barnsley also being linked to sign the defender. It would give the Tigers additional cover at left-back, with Stephen Kingsley currently their only senior option on the left side of defence, although Eric Lichaj has featured as a makeshift alternative this season during Kingsley's absence through injury.
I'd love to see the HDM being 'balls-up' and place the headline .. "Allams set for sell on windfall from Maguire and James" instead of the safe option of Hull City set etc...
Why? Seriously, why? The easiest sort of humour is which ridicules others or tries to shock, the most difficult has no victim. Try some intelligence please.
Was reading about two of them. Seems Wigan and Everton insert better clauses in transfers than we do. They are getting more than we do for a player being sold on for £15 million just because Norwich got promoted despite them playing little to no part. Just think what other clubs could do if they had business geniuses in charge like we have. See Norwich are being sensible and paying off the money owed on their new training and academy set up. City's Championship promotion - earned with the EFL title - means the Premier League Toffees and second-tier Latics will earn the additional transfer fees, for Steven Naismith's arrival at Carrow Road in January 2016 and Yanic Wildschut's signing 12 months later. “That is despite the fact both players are out of contract this summer, and neither played a single second of football for Norwich under Daniel Farke this season. A reported £7m arrival from Everton, Naismith spent the full 2018-19 campaign on loan at Scottish top-flight side Hearts - where he is now expecting to become a permanent fixture as a free agent. Wildschut - an initial signing from Wigan for under £5m - endured a difficult, injury-hit campaign with crisis-club Bolton who spent much of the season struggling to pay their players' wages. That includes what they owe Norwich, with the Trotters eventually relegated to League One and then entering administration. With the Canaries' having to wait until July and August for their first tranches of Premier League revenue, football finance blogger Kieran Maguire reported Norwich City have taken out a loan from Barclays this week. That bridging loan - effectively an increase in the club's overdraft facility - is to be secured against TV revenue due from the 2018-19 season, as well as forthcoming money from the Premier League for the next campaign. It will also allow the self-funding club to pay their promotion liabilities to Everton and Wigan, as well as plenty of bonuses following their Premier League return, and repay the £5m Canaries Bond - which funded the recent redevelopment of Colney - ahead of schedule and avoid paying out a second year of interest.”
Newcastle, Southampton and Brighton lead a host of clubs keen to sign Liverpool's £25million-rated winger Harry Wilson this summer.
