Guessing they're going to try to hold on to Sesko for a year, given that he's probably a year away from selling for at least Adeyemi/Aaronson money.

Salzburg is a great example of the rewards to be reaped based on a club's reputation. They spent, sure (though much less than they've received), but in so doing they established themselves as one of the premiere destinations for young talent. Haaland as an example turned down bigger moves in order to go there because he knew that he'd get the chance to showcase himself. The lineup you can put together of players Salzburg has sold is surreal:

GK: Gulacsi (Leipzig)
RB: Lazaro (Benfica)
CB: Caleta-Car (Marseille)
CB: Upamecano (Bayern)
LB: Bernardo (Salzburg; he came back)
CM: Mwepu (Brighton)
CM: Keita (Liverpool)
FW: Mane (Liverpool)
FW: Adeyemi (Dortmund)
FW: Haaland (Man City)


Plus: Szoboszlai (Leipzig), Aaronson (Leeds), Haidara (Leipzig), Daka (Leicester), Berisha (Reims), Lainer (Gladbach), Wolf (Swansea), Dabbur (Hoffenheim), Samassekou (Hoffenheim), Minamino (Liverpool), Hwang (Leipzig), Schlager (Wolfsburg), Hinteregger (Frankfurt), Kampl (Leipzig), Pongracic (Dortmund).


You could go pretty deep in CL with a squad consisting entirely of alumni from a club in a league that is generally adjudged to be worse than the English second division.


I've banged on about it over the years, but this is still a niche that no one has filled in the Premier League: the team that all of the bright young talents go to in order to show their stuff and get the big move to a top-tier team. We're well-positioned to be that; we have a reputation for using our Academy that is frankly a bit undeserved in recent years, and we have a handful of players that we brought in that have gone on to compete at the highest levels. It requires real courage, because you have to commit to playing youngsters (and also have to understand that many will leave as soon as they've demonstrated their quality), but there is a path to climb up the PL there, and sooner or later someone is going to have the guts to take it. Might as well be us.

Aaronsen money is the minimum amount mooted for Broja

So I’d guess they think they are a year off of even more than that. But as mentioned elsewhere - PL clubs will be quoted 30m+ this summer and he will move to a German club for 18-20m this summer. Being Salzburg this could be Leipzig but not necessarily
 
Gibbs-White has had a great season out on loan apparently. Watched him in the playoffs and the commentator (Don Goodman I think) was saying how he thought he could walk into the Wolves team based on how he had been playing this year.

I remember when he first broke through a couple of seasons ago and Wolves fans were all really excited about him, but he supposedly had attitude issues which is why he hasn’t featured for them much and been sent on loan. Maybe he has matured, either way I don’t see Wolves selling him this summer and think he’ll get a chance in their squad next season

We ideally should be looking at players who can join for our own pre season and any of these that coaches need to have a look at just be potential bonuses

Waiting could be a problem. For example had we been able to sell Vestergaard at the start of the summer we might have had a chance at getting Guehi. Perhaps not since he likely would have picked to stay in London. But we weren’t even in the running

There is no use apparently being in a position where we can bid earlier if we choose a route that means we don’t do it

Yesssssss…”Blocked Pathway FC”. I don’t give a fig if we go down. Let’s just do weird, interesting things. Put it in my veins.

Give me your unused, your underpaid,
Your huddled young players, yearning for more than Carabao Cup matches against MK Dons,
The wretched refuse of your teeming academy systems.
Send these, the hopeless, tempest-tost to us,
As Matt Crocker lifts his lamp beside the Staplewood players entrance.

This looks like the right profile of player. Progressive, can carry and move the ball forwards, shoots and can hit the target. Young enough that we can help him develop and still maybe see a profit.

When I started following football, more often than not, a "foriegn" signing usually meant someone from Scotland. It is noticeable just how few Scottish players from their own league are capuring the attention of English suitors these days. BBC Gossip column seems obsessed with other leagues in Europe as a source of recruitment albeit I have noticed that it is increasingly the case that academy players from the Top 6 clubs represent a lot of interest these days. Twenty years ago these players would have come from lower league English clubs.

Shame isn’t it? More PL money should be distributed to lower leagues for academy development.
