We got £275,000 rising to 400k for Oscar Gobern which was amazing because he is one of the worst players ive ever seen.

Well, he was only 13 at the time. A pretty decent chunk of change for a kid to be honest.

It's pittance compared to the value of that player now. Why would lower league academies bother when big clubs can hoover up all their best talent for a minuscule fraction of their value.

Thankfully we have (and will continue to) make money on Cleverley, Wisdom and Fabian Delph but for other clubs tribunals can be utter horseshit.

Got hudders fans I know who right rate him
 
It makes us stronger in the middle vs teams that horribly exposed us last season. This is if our personnel remains the same and we continue with Arteta at DM for this upcoming season.

Arteta + Wilshere in a 4-2-3-1 can't handle it? I would be more worried about your fullbacks in terms of teams exposing you.

Locadia is playing pretty good on the wing for a striker, Narsingh is just meh at the moment unfortunately. Maybe Cocu will place Bakkali back in the first squad once(if) he extends his contract.

But your first formation has my vote for this season! I just hope Cocu will give several other players many minutes, like Ritzmaier and Vloet.

I'm really liking Mo Rayhi during the playtime he got in the pre-season, hope he gets the chance to play this season.

Nah not yet, though Brands said he is raising his bid for him. We need him in our team to replace Hiljemark in the starting 11.

With that team PSV should be expected to win the title, hell I even expect them to get far into europe with that quality. But we all know quality does not always win you matches.

You guys are building a decent squad, but no doubt you might lose one or two before the end of the transfer window.

I presume Cocu is getting is act together aswell.

Actually, i'm pretty confident that Depay and Wijnaldum will stay during this summer. But maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Well sure, but he was only at Coventry for a few years and there's no guarantee a 13 year old is going to become an international player. If they'd only received that figure and he left at 17 or something, there'd be more room for complaint but it was probably a fair price given the circumstances. They would also have received a small percentage of later transfer fees as well due to training compensation.

Arteta had too much ground to cover in our 4-2-3-1 system last season bc Ozil rarely tracked back when playing through the middle. 433 with Wilshere Ramsey Arteta gives us a stronger defensive core in midfield thus allowing our fullbacks more freedom. I just think it's something that should be considered. Arteta doesn't have the legs anymore and we need to adjust accordingly. 433 let's him play even deeper.
