We released him and ruined the ones we kept.

Total fecking shambles.

We are just guessing. Clueless.

Did we have a potential buy back clause?.. we probably didn't.

Good work ethic, took the jump, got lots of games under his belt etc.. 800k could be a bargain..

But we'll have to rely on a 19 year old with 30+ games under his belt at 2 million & 15k wage packet by all accounts.

I hope it goes well, because it'll be a 5 million pound flop.

McBurnie
Asoro
Jordi

In the next two years these three will cost us 10 million+

The world has clearly gone mad.

And some on here will tell you that kids who can't crack the first team by 19 aren't worth anything. Get rid, innit.

Sometimes risks pay off..

But from what I've seen from two, it's certainly not 10 million+ risks.

He was obviously talented at the time though.
I couldn't understand why we were letting him go, he did great with the Welsh U21s.
It would be like us letting Dan James go now without giving him a fair crack first.

Maybe the problem is that the coaches at the club can't spot the talent under their noses and push forward the wrong boys.
Maybe it is they who are proving to be 'not up to it.'

We got something like £750k for him from Crawley. Looked an excellent prospect at the time though

So hes gone down in value. Wiki says Ipswich payed £700k. Looks like we got rid at the right time. I will wait till he collects his player of the season before I start gnashing my teeth.

He must be a bout 26 now too. Hardly the 'one that got away' (unless he scores the winner that relegates us )

Jazz Richards, Shaun MacDonald and Gwion Edwards are all local boys that other Championship clubs want at least.

We gave them all away and they would all be valuable squad members this season...yet we're going to be crossing our fingers and hoping Jay Fulton and Matt Grimes work out.

Jazz would have done better than Kyle Naughton these last few years I reckon.

What's funny about that?

Naughton got bloody murdered week in, week out (I am hoping he'll cope better in the Championship mind) over a couple of seasons and was part of a God awful team that was all but relegated by Christmas (Carvalhal nearly performed a miracle mind).

Jazz dropped down a level, we paid millions for Naughton.

Where is Jazz playing now?





How is Naughton objectively better?
There's not much in it but at least Jazz can pass the fecking thing.

Apologies, I got my Jazz Richards’ mixed up; I’m on about the one that played about five Championship games last year.

So somebody got ahead of him in the pecking order.
If Roberts gets picked over Naughton this year Naughton will be in the same place.

The player that kept Jazz out must be good though, as they are now in the Premier League and built their team around a solid defence.

In my eyes, Jazz is of an equal standard to Naughton, except that Jazz is more useful in more positions and can actually pass the fecking thing...it has been bred into him here when we used to believe in playing football and 'footballers' (as opposed to athletes).

I will give you that Naughton could be a useful option at RCB this season, in this system.
I'm hoping that he will do well, but I cannot make the case that he is a better player than Jazz...especially as he cost £5m and Jazz cost £0

I agree.

Couldn’t see Crawley paying anywhere near £750k for a young player who never played for the first team in a league match. I seem to recall Brendon Rogers trying to get him on as a sub in the last match of the season but not being able to do so.

Anyway, good luck to the kid, I am really pleased for him. After leaving Swansea he has knuckled down and worked his way up the leagues, Crawley, Peterborough and now Ipswich.

Some posters have a go at the Academy set up, while it’s not perfect it is turning out footballers who can make a living in the game, albeit not at the highest level - yet. Producing players who can play in the PL is difficult, and I suspect the reason why a lot of clubs resort to buying in their players from all over the world is the low success rate. Some of the big clubs hoover talent up from all over the place and still can’t turn out the players they need.

The lower the club falls, the more successful the academy will become.

And yet if he stayed he would be accused of “stealing a living” and Jenkins would be accused of taking the cheap option by offering contracts to people not good enough for the first team.

The funny thing? That is absolutely 100% how it would go.

What a ludicrous thread. Surely the fact he’s only now getting a move to a lower half championship side proves he’s never been good enough to play for us over the last 7/8 years.
