A daft remark. What do you drink?
Not really daft tbf

Humans have drunk milk from cows for thousands of years but still only about 3% of human history and it was only babies at first because adult humans couldn’t have tolerated it easily until there was a gradual genetic mutation, caused by drinking it as babies as it was a good source of nutrients, which enabled adults to tolerate it.

Some people don’t have that mutation of course and are lactose intolerant.

…weirdo mutant!
 
We drink it because our Indo-European ancestors were pastoralists and they drank it, giving us adult lactose tolerance. The end.
Not really the end though is it, or it may not be.

We’ve only done it for about 3% of human history so it’s still a new trendy phenomenon.

As less people are drinking cow milk now (% wise) then it may well be lactose tolerance will wane again and then less will be able to anyway.

So feel free to stick with your new fangled ways, but don’t expect those of us who are traditionalists not to think you’re a weirdo
 
3m is bugger all. We need to be taking punts on the likes of Jadan and selling them on for significantly more. It's the only way this model works.
It is a loan fee. I dont see us 'taking a punt' on him raising his value as much as him playing for Barcelona. He showed his limitations last year in the Championship. Playing with World Class players for World Class coaches will surely see his value raise more than getting clattered by Cardiff defenders in the Championship?
