I've had a feeling we would do this (look at City and Palmer, as well as other decent youth players they have let go) and this means we can builder a stronger team. A stronger team is more valuable than a youth project who might become good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree this is insanely good business given he basically has never played for us. I think regardless of PSR if someone came in and offered you £19 million for a lad who often can’t make the bench I would snap your hand off. If we can pop a couple of beneficial buy back/sell on clauses all the better but this is good news for us. Chelsea I’m not so sure, I can’t see him getting a game for them for 3/4 years but maybe he has a good loan somewhere and they sell him on but to be honest he is going and making us good money, what happens to his career isn’t really our concern anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I’m probably most sad that it feels very unlikely we’ll have a new Grealish or Ramsey anytime soon with the way we run things now. That said this is a very good deal and not one you turn down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Sad to see this happen but the price is very high for an 18yo with no PL experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 For all we know we might be happy to sell Kellyman given the money offered, because we know there's going to be limited pathway to youngsters to the first team and feel we have others who have just as much of a chance as him, which isn't really a far fetched idea, given Kadan Young is is in the same group, and Jamal Jimoh and Ben Broggio in the year below, I really don't think Jimoh is far of Kellyman's level, just a little less consistent, Broggio was unlucky last season with injury, but there was a reason he was the first first year scholar (other than Triston) to come into the U18s, and he looked very promising indeed, which is no surprise as has been highly rated for a while - of course the way things are going we might end up selling those other players too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make them unable to make it, but at the current juncture, cash in and we build for now. Even the likes of Cam might struggle to get game time too.

Marka Ragnos Posted June 23 VT Supporter Share Posted June 23 Got to see him last summer in Philadelphia, and he was exciting to watch, but this is an excellent deal for someone who is pure profitable potential. We're so lucky we have such a talent to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay. You're not allowed to have an opinion anymore on VT because the club is absolutely infallible now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
