...terrible how PSR and rules related to it is driving away talent as players become pieces in the chessgame that is business in football.

We will no doubt bank big profits from the sales of Huijsen, Zarbaryni, Kluivert, Semenyo and Kerkez...which will give us stability and keep the PL financial wolves from our doors?

Then in comes more on the treadmill like the guys we have just got in as young hungry, but unproven players.

It is a good model but shame that we probably will never see many staying more than two or three seasons?

For every Zabarnyi there may be a Zubar … :(
 
I think that today's recruitment is more hi tech and no doubt much footage and opinion is gathered before we commit....back in the Zubar days we were probably just looking for someone who would want to come to us!
And even then, we had to offer him a 20 year contract ( or whatever it was ) to get him to come here !!! :p
 
Wasn't it an unlimited promotion extension clause? Nobody thought we'd need to worry about more than one promotion over the course of his contract.
It certainly had something to do with an extension upon promotion but can't remember the full extent of it.
All I know is that he was on the wage bill for what seemed like forever ! :p
