This is exactly what we need to be doing as a club. Buying players for 500k and selling them a year later for 10m. Don't get too attached to players, they are commodities to be brought and sold. For far too long now we've held onto players instead of cashing in, Jonny Evans and Berahino come to mind.

Look at teams like Brighton and Brentford, they regularly sell their best players and replace them with their excellent scouting department. These are the sides we need to benchmark ourselves against and copy.

For the first time in a long time, I have got a lot of faith in the people making these decisions at the club. We need to reinvest the Heggem money and do the same thing again. Buy low and sell high.

It should be said, there will be bumps in the road. For every Heggem, there will be a Frabotta. But I'm a lot happier with this model than the one we had 5 years ago which signed Diangana, Grant and Zohore for a combined 30m+.
