Are you saying that players plucked from non league are already quality players who are the finished article & do not need developing & coaching to help them step up to a higher level ? Are you saying that every player who has been sold was offered a new contract ? Are you saying the club do not have history for selling players . We have consistently sold players when we have been in a position to kick on, FGS give the fans some credit , we don"t all walk about with our eyes closed .

Quality - yes.
Finished article - no
Every player sold (current) offered a contract - probably yes
Every player sold (historically) offered a contract - no
History of selling players - yes - but that’s history and not current

As for giving some of the fans some credit - I find it amazing that some fans are still finding it so difficult to separate out the different owners we have had at the club.

Just to reiterate …

If the players were "quality" when they arrive we wouldn't be able to afford them. The quality young players have been on the books of the bigger clubs from being at school level.

Most young players who have worked their way to Academy/ U21's at clubs or play at National League have been seen by someone who judges them to have POTENTIAL to become a quality player capable of playing at a higher level.

We no longer buy "quality ready players" such as Craig Hignett. We are the Crewe who developed Hignett's potential and then sold him on to Boro. Sadly most players we recruit or promote from within never make it to the "quality" levels of football.

We fish in the free agent, token cost, non league level hoping to see and recruit potential than can be developed into enough quality to attract a bid.

(Please don't patronise posters on here suggesting we do not know who our owners have been. It doesn't go down well)

Nudger please do not insult my intelligence , having watched & supported the Reds since 1961 I think I have a fair knowledge of our owners past & present , I have basically seen it all ,past & present with all the highs & lows that supporting a team for 62 years bring , you say history of selling players is in the past & not the present , well considering we have just sold Anderson & Kitchen how much more current can you get ? , they were sold in the last window with others also in the not so recent past , if you think I get pleasure out of my comments then you are wrong , I am in the " happy Clapper " band of fans but I try not to look through red & white glasses & just say it as I see it , just a footnote regarding players contracts , you are guessing , you like the rest of us only know what we read & is as sure as eggs are eggs we do not get told everything about a players contract situation past or present.
