    None of those in current positions of executive decision making, and most definitely not our DoF, had f00k all to do with Philips as a youth investment, go back a few years. One player and one player only introduced by that esteemed bunch of arseholes us wirth mire today than when first purchased. Real world? F00k me if thats our real world then Championship here we come.

    Only 1 player worth more than purchased?
    What about Raphinha (£18m)? Meslier (£3m, I think), Bamford (£7m) and Struijk are all worth more than when they came i am quite sure. Maybe even Gelhardt (£1m).

    I was referring to Raphina, as Philips was a product of the academy and was on the clubs books well before the three stooges arrived.

    Post #116 referred to "we have him and Raph that prove we are able to invest wisely", "him" being Philips.

    I'll give you the others, including Gelhardt although that wasn't my point. Even with those included that's 6 players since May 2017, 5 years, just over one player per year that have shown how "wise" we have been when investing in new players!!! On the mere law of averages given the scooping up of anyone and everyone in his first three years, anyone could do as well. (I could always list those players whos value has dropped since we acquired them?)

    WS' statement about "investing wisely" is about as wide of the mark as our DoFs scouting capabilities.
