I wouldn't exactly say it's the same reason. Those three clubs are just being smart arses exploiting a loophole by shuffling Academy players at grossly inflated values. We're selling an asset who is clearly good enough to go to the next level and will net us a massive fee.

it's the principle of how academy sales are accounted for Vs incoming I'm referring to. we've got FFP limitations so while we'll fight for as good a figure as we can get, sadly, he's gone. and good luck to him.

Was just about to link that tweet on here. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he left too but it’s who the replacements would be that I’m more concerned with. If we’re replacing Tufan and Seri with Zajc and Norwood, it doesn’t fill me with much confidence.

Like selling a dependable car you’ve had for a while and getting an older one with more miles on the clock that costs the same or more and isn’t even better than the car you just sold.

Norwood is the definition of a dependable car. Championship TOTS a year ago…

Seri I really half expect/expected...he won't have the legs for what appears to be WT set up and approach. If we can get a fee, fantastic...

exactly…tbh I expected him to be the first departure….changing of the guard….i wonder if Acun expected this level of overhaul when he sacked Liam ??
Too late now….

Not a player to build a midfield around. Zero point getting rid of Seri to replace him with Norwood. It’s incredibly short-sighted which has been the theme of Acun’s transfer policy since he took over and it’s what has left us in the predicament we’re in now.

For ****’s sake, there were talks of Sonny Bradley coming last summer and people said that would’ve been a good signing because of his ‘experience’. He had to drop down to League One Derby and was even in and out of the side there.

Did you ever see Sonny play for Derby?

Again, that isn't the case, he hasn't even signed, we're just interested.

If he were to come in, it would be as a rotation/cover option, not as first choice.
