Well considering we got money for him...he has been on loan

most of the time with all or a portion of his wages covered. I would pretty much guess his stay was NCFC neutral.

I don't really understand the reasoning behind misidentified or poorly developed angle. These young men are individuals not some robots that can go through the development process and be a league 1, Championship or hopefully a Premier league level player. We have just sold Dennis as well probably again at little or no cost to the club. We need just one or two players to really hit it to make the system more than sustainable...obviously this consistency is the important factor.

      - and ofc there's also the opportunity cost of that capital (NCFC) - CWC, Jun 9, 13:14:38
        
        Exactly. This is really my thinking on it. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 9, 13:33:08
        
        but it isn't most of the time....1 in 10 academy players go on into the 1st team (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Jun 9, 13:32:17

        well whatever we paid for him, it is another cost (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jun 9, 13:01:20
        
        Apart from Sinani, can't think of a loan that went well last season (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jun 9, 13:04:57
        
        I suppose much of it is psychological (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jun 9, 13:12:19

        Only McCallum and Famewo count to the point I'm making (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 9, 13:37:00
        
        Yeah, McCallum did well when not injured (NCFC) - jamesward, Jun 9, 13:16:31
        
        We paid about 80k for him as far as I can tell (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Jun 9, 12:45:32
      - But success of other punts balances mistakes ?… (NCFC) - loz, Jun 9, 12:34:46
        
        Marley Watkins was not a punt!!! He was signed FOR the first team. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 9, 13:38:30
        
        But he was signed on a bowman and sold for one million … (NCFC) - loz, Jun 9, 13:48:58
        
        It's just not the same thing at all. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 9, 14:25:13
        
        minus wages, insurance and other costs (n/m) (NCFC) - Steven_P_Morrissey, Jun 9, 12:48:05
  - You don't look at that individually (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Jun 9, 11:59:02
    - None of Godfrey, Lewis or Maddison were signed by Webber (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 9, 13:28:52
      - Did Andy O come in during Webber’s time ? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jun 9, 13:49:54
        
        Yes. As has Idah. Neither gone out of loan, both signed from Ireland. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 9, 14:28:24
        
        I believe that Idah was identified before Webber arrived (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jun 9, 16:16:27
        
        confirmed; long, long before Webber (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jun 9, 16:20:48
    - Even Marley Watkins signed on a free sold for a million … (NCFC) - loz, Jun 9, 12:02:46
      - Marley Watkins is a completely different case (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 9, 13:30:53
