From me growing up I watched eadie Bellamy etc so was always good to see our academy given chances. They both got sold it will always happen. Imagine being a crewe and clubs steal them really young.
The hype is im guessing is we are a self made club so we have to sell. If a player is worth 10 million or 40 they must be decent so we should want and built a team around them. I think we missed that chance with the max jamal todd Godfreys higher wages they might have stayed. But the bills need paying I suppose.
On a personal note a lad who plays for my kids team. Was at Ipswich academy under 10/11 has just been signed by man u for 300k.
It's a business
