    Sitting on a goldmine ?

    Watching Nicolas Jackson playing for Chelsea today and wondering where he came from. He'd had 16 starts for Villareal and 7 for Mirandes on loan, plus 28 sub appearances. Despite the fact that he's still wet behind the ears Chelsea paid £35 million for him. How much will the top six pay for the likes of Foster, Benson, Zaroury, Amdouni etc after a succesful PL season. These clubs have far more money than sense, we only want one or two to come good and we're sitting on a gold mine.

    Been well aware of the potential for some time mon ami, in fact I've mentioned a couple of times recently that our fans had better get used to losing our best players, because that's our MO from now on. Just on Jackson though, FFS £35 million for a player who has done Jack **** in his career so far. This could still go tits up for us, it could just as easily go the other way though, the goldmine way.

    With Benson, Beyer, Zaroury, Amdouni, Koleosho, Ekdal and Al-Dakhil on the books the project will not be going tits up sinkov.

    Another one, Spurs have just paid £35 million for Micky van de Ven, he's played just 35 games for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. After 35 PL games for us how much will Beyer and Al Dahkil be worth ? It's like we're playing in a casino with free chips. Keep them signings coming.
