Is there anyone good coming up through the ranks of the youth team?
Ollie Wright, goalkeeper, just won player of the season on loan at Accrington Stanley. The interesting thing about this lad, is that he is 23 years old, just a year younger than Bazunu, and two younger than Peretz. So the idea of him becoming our number two next season is quite likely.

In defence, Jayden Moore, CB, has been playing with the u21s since he was 17 (he's now 19). Just finished a short loan spell with Eastleigh where it appears he did quite well.

Harry Gathercole (AM) has been absolutely banging the goals in for the u18s, and has now stepped up to u21 level, where he is doing well.

Nic Oyekunle, striker, is the obvious one.

Sillah-Dibaga (LW) looked handy against Leicester in the cup.

Joe O'Brien-Whitmarsh, CM, was my tip last summer to breakthrough, but hasn't managed it yet. Just scored a banger from the halway line for the u21s, which went a bit viral.

And of course, Moses Sesay, who looked decent during preseason last summer.

Barnaby Williams, who Tonda gave a a couple of games to earlier in the season.

My tip for next season is a kid named Aston Daley. Hasn't really made many headlines yet, but I'm told from one guy I know who knows some academy people, that he is the new darling, and everyone has high hopes for him. Might still need another year in the u21s though, as only just turned 19.

What ever happened to that guy we had? What’s his name? Singer? Love song? No I remember Ballad.
 
It’s good for us of course, hopefully someone does come in for him but I doubt anyone pays ‘significantly more’ than £42m for him.
 
Wonder if is is 15% of the profit or 15% of the transfer price. That could be why they want 'significantly' more - they need £48.5m just to break if it is the transfer price.
On Football Manager it’s usually profit but in the real world I think clubs are wise to shenanigans that can come from that kind of thing. I saw something the other day about a player with a sell on and the article definitely suggested it was the actual fee. Wish I could remember who it was
Edit: think is was Wissa. Because they are definitely not selling him for a profit

Think Aston Daley is a proper local lad as well, from Millbrook I believe.
