Cal Sold to Aberdeen

Not sure on that. I understand why it's been done, the model is obviously to spot talent, utilise it, and sell on at a profit. Great for the coffers, but it only works for me if we use the profit to move us up the leagues.

I see the sale of Cal Roberts as less likely to move us up than more likely.

While I agree with what you say, not much a club can do if the lad wants a move though. With possibly double or triple wages on offer, who can blame him? Reading between the lines it does seem that we held out till they matched our valuation of him.

I wouldn't blame him at all, it's a fairly short career so he needs to get what he can.

That's where I'm not so sure. If the fee means we get better then our model is clearly working.

After some of the garbage I've witnessed at a higher level, I still think Cal will be a hard act to replace.
