I agree. Look at Tariq Lamptey, who didn't want to be a rich bench warmer but loves to play football. It will be intriguing to see Lamptey v Cucurella this season.

You are saying you don't trust Tony Bloom to learn from past mistakes. He has sacked people on the spot before.

In football, money buys success. Unless you have a few oil wells on your property, you're going to have to earn that money and success. Five year or ten year plans. Too many fans want instant success.

No chance when we sold Ben White for £50M. Ben Roberts is hardly likely to know what Weir and Barber were negotiating.

I know it sounds a horrible comparison but we have to think of the youngsters as a crop. We grow them, train them and then either use them in our team and sell them on. Even the ones who don't make it into the team are being sold to lower leagues or abroad. It is how the club is becoming...

That ‘loads of money’ isn’t in the bank, it’s offsetting the debts.

We love the Vendee region, and holiday there every year. We also have friends who live in Mauze sur le Mignon. Sorry, back on topic.

Even if he isn't sold, I doubt very much if he would play for us on Sunday.

That’s extremely unlikely to happen.

Long contracts improve a player’s value. Long contracts are no guarantee of being adhered to. Ben White signed a 4 year contract but knew he would be sold when the price was right. Bissouma only had one year left and was sold for a lot less.

Did Dunk burn his bridges? He even refused to play one game (if reports can be believed) The club refused to sell him to a rival, Dunk was offered a new contract and stayed. In some peoples’ eyes, that’s akin to blackmail.
