Or what if he doesn't and turns into an exceptional player?

Fair point but how many clubs would risk an 8 year contract ? I can't think of anyone else who would take that risk.

i know we laugh about these agents screwing these kids over sending them to chelsea but honestly they aren't. they are doing their job and getting the best deal they can for them which is typically an insane high wage at chelsea for their age at a 8 year contract, that sort of financial security is rare

If money is the only aim then you are correct.

To be fair, for a lot of these kids who come from impoverished childhoods, yes money is a main aim and that is totally fine. Soccer is a job and that’s ok.

Say what you want about the morals of it all but it must be so fun being a Newcastle fan at the moment.

It kind of feels like we have well and truly been surpassed by a couple clubs we looked down on just a few years ago.

Sadly it’s not a couple it’s the whole league except pis united and the bottom 3 even wolves and west ham are improving

Or it's part of the natural "ups and downs" of a competitive league?

We've had a really shit season admittedly, but I'm not sure there's been an actual step change at the club. A decent manager, a lot less injuries and I think we'd be in the mix for Top 6 which is where our wage bill suggests we should be (maybe a bit lower due to blooding youngsters, but not in the bottom half of the table).
