Guess we may as well pack it in and not even try, scrap the Academy ( joking ). I think what pisses the fans off is the fact that we never put up much of a fight up to keep the young players and rather than selling them at a price that makes the eyes water we sell them as cheap as chips.
Walker and Naughton ?
£10 million for two players with less than 40 second tier appearances between them? On the knowledge we had at the time, that was a bloody good price.
Admittedly, you would probably be looking at £15 million + for Walker alone now, but no-one knew how well he would develop. He might have been another Lee Morris or Jacob Mellis.
