Tendi has 4 just off the top of my head - Bristol City, Gills, Peterborough and MK.

Edit - the Bristol assist may have actually been a Clucas miss-hit.

Tendayi has 2 according to our OS.

Hello ! So on current crowds income streams etc you want to commit financial suicide - cannot see any justification in going down this route whether we lose players or not.

On the contrary, the financial suicide argument applies if we lose them for nowt. It might for example cost us an additional £75k a year to preserve Morsy's transfer value - a no brainer. This can be achieved to some extent by remodelling the squad to suit the player budget. For example, no high earners on the bench, just youngsters with potential. I think this is exactly the model that PC/CT are striving for.

The Youth Team has several lads who look to me that they have a chance -the 3-2 win over Hull City last Saturday was a great game to watch. The proposed reserve team next season gives them the platform to progress alongside more senior players. Apparently there are also some exciting prospects in the lower age groups coming along as well. This all fits in with the model you describe if they can make it work.

Irrespective of what ever, you advocate that we should/could pay such salaries, well sorry I think your heart is clouding your thinking.

Have any players from the YT been offered professional terms for next season?

Not as yet however Dave Jones said he thought 3 or 4 would be, which is where the reserve team would come in, topping up with development players as needed.
