Dongda HE sold

[SwalePie]

Can someone remind me how it works with academy players since that new deal with the Premier League?

Isn't it something like if a PL club wants them they just take them and if no agreement is reached a tribunal decides the fee?

Something along those lines. From the official site's report it looks like there are sell on/appearance/progress clauses though. Let's hope it's good business...personally I hope he's comes back on a season long loan for us to further develop for them.

I won't slate the club, because we Notts fans are realistic enough to know that Premier League clubs can pretty much take what they want when they want it, and hopefully we've got the best deal we can, but I won't pretend it's not bitterly disappointing to see such a prospect disappear before we even got to see him. It's like Jermaine Pennant all over again. Gone it seems are the days when we could hold on to the likes of Tommy Johnson and Mark Draper for a few years before they went on to bigger things.

As Swale says, the only hope is that we get him back on loan for a while.

I will. So for the first time in what seems like ages, we have a "prospect" and someone offers £5 and he's gone. Why am I not surprised. What a crock of sh1t.

Does anyone know whether He Zhenyu is the same player or whether we had two players with the name He prior to this? Brothers perhaps?

EDIT: Ignore that, I see from his Twitter account it's the same person

Same player: https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/team...ard/he-zhenyu/

Didn't Billy Big Balls slate Ray for doing exactly the same thing with a younger player? Would it have made any difference if he had gotten on the pitch last week, (I THINK he was a sub).

Yep he slated RT for the sale of Jack Bearne to Liverpool. "Not under my watch" were the words weren't they? Fact is there's now't he can do about it. Player wants to go best cut the best deal and just shows how much AH knew about running a club or giving it large. Needs to curb what he says in public - it's all out there to be seen with a couple of clicks and search.

Wouldn't have made a difference it seems:

Can someone please explain why on Earth anyone would have this attitude to AH? I simply do not get it.
