Re: The Boy We Lost
Very irritating. It’s a total farce.
At that age, unless sell on clauses can exist for his entire career,(will never happen) then what is the feckin point of Klug and his academy?

Re: The Boy We Lost
Yes, it is disgraceful that there’s no regulations to stop this, especially since we did all the ground work in bringing him to England and setting him up.
Peanuts, though? For a 15 year old kid (who’s already a bit too keen to wear an Alice band) there’s a long way to go. If we get 750k or a million for a 15 or 16 year old kid... then it’s money in the bank. Dozzell’s years ahead and finds it tough to get game time in a rock-bottom Championship club. There’s so many who flatter at under 16, under 17, under 19 level and then end up being released.
Are there typically any sell-on clauses in these kinds of deals? If he does make it, that would soften the blow.

Re: The Boy We Lost
I get what you are saying but I still kinda think it was peanuts yes. Take Dozzell, prior to his injury he was being touted as a 10 Million target for the likes of Liverpool, of course we will never know if that was ever going to come to fruition but it has in the past and may well have done so with Flores, Ben Knight another one, good money some would think to get One Million for him but when Bryan Klug says at that age he is the best he has ever worked with that is some endorsement which leads me to believe One Million is again potentially laughable.
