Buy Gueye for 7 mill, develop him and sell for 40 mill
Use funds to buy 2 players for 15-20 mill, develop both into 30-40 mill players.
Repeat.
All of a sudden that 7 million has turned into 100 million pounds worth of assets if you do it correctly.
‘Keeping our best players’ past their sell by date. Looks like:
Buy Gueye for 7 mill, decline chance to sell for 40 mill, interest disappears and Gueye either leaves for free or stays on a new contract of high wages until he retires. We now have zero pounds of assets. We still need new player so go out and pay 7 mill again hoping that we get someone as good as Gueye but at that price could easily be a dud.
The whole point of buying smart is to increase your asset base. I could if understand not selling g Gueye mid season but if we don’t sell now we are beyond stupid.
