    Agree on the Barca front - even if their not going to make it.

    You can usually sell back to a Spainish club for a profit if they've come through and then had "prem" experience.

    It's the unfortunate state of the game where teenage boys are basically commodities, products, bargaining chips.

    Sad reality but as a business NUFC have to get more savvy in the market.

    This reflects on a bigger point made against Howe regarding transfer spend.

    The value of the squad pre-take over was Championship level.

    Maxi went for mid 20s, Kelly a shocking 20m sale, Miggy mid *****.

    When they trot out the 'He's spunked 250 MILLION quid and look at the results' (whilst completely ignoring the summer transfer drama that derailed the entire play and structure of the club) will the 5 permanent signing have all raised the quality of the squad. The top line of the first team has been diminished due to departure to Land-o-Rats.

    It's disingenuous to say that the club has gone backwards. Laughable in fact.
