We used to often hear the suggestion that our penchant for stockpiling young goalkeepers, was down to a similar financial opportunity.

However, I'm not convinced we have ever sold one for a profit of any kind. Possibly a nominal one on Walton, if any fee we got from Ipswich outweighed the compensation we'd paid Plymouth? Obviously we sold academy product Sanchez for big money, but I'm not counting him, as he arrived as a 15 year old, rather than being brought in for money, to turn a profit.
Didn't that originally come from a comment on popbitch?
