but it isn't most of the time....1 in 10 academy players go on into the 1st team

if that makes good business sense from the clubs point of view then shirely anything above that is more or less a bonus and Bushiri came into the academy/development squad not the seniors.

We are going to have to take some hits and make the best of it...how many of these academy players would equal one Naismith or RVW?

      - 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

      - Tbh I didn't realise we paid so much for him but (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Jun 9, 12:36:37
        
        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
