Game time at a high level is key. We can't offer that, can't even get Phillips a game.I know we can't keep all of them but I do wonder if we under estimate how much a lot of these lads will improve between say 19 and 22. with games aand physical development.
Taking Tommy as an example I don't think he ever got another go after the cup game at Cheltenham .
Maybe we prefer to take the moneybox it's a shame we can't farm them out to a group club and see how they go for a couple of years. Would be a good use of the group imo.
Getting a few £m and a decent sell on fee is as good as we can do sometimes and to be honest it's far better than most prem clubs get from there academy's.
Good luck to him.
