2009/10 season, signed alongside Sammy Clingan. What a time to be alive that wasPVA now well established in the PSV Eindhoven team. And he's 32 !!! Incredible how fast he's aged. Or did we really have him here a decade ago ?
Maybe that means that if they pay the 4m add in then the sell on is 10% of the capital gain (as such)?
So, if they win league or he gets 20 goals and they pay the 4m, sell him for 44m, we get 10% of 20m uplift/cap gain?
I agree, it's worth doing but it's a shame he's only playing at Alvechurch after being with us for 2 years.Sometimes these gambles work (McCallum) sometimes they don’t.
To say there was never a chance of it paying off isn’t quite true - you never know.
The next stage of our development model should be to expand our u23 / u21 groups with outbound loan opportunities for several youngsters.
There are rough diamonds out there, and as MR said yesterday - we have a development model in place.
The Abel Alabi gamble should be seen as a positive- better to try and not succeed than to not bother.

Yes I agree.
Now that we are willing and able to spend more cash I wonder if we'll start to see a higher volume, and higher quality, of u21 signings with the aim of loaning a few out and hoping a few come good.
Main priority is obviously still the first team, but maybe we'll look to improve the youth prospects as well.
I think now that the Gus / Vik issues are sorted the Mark and the staff should have a clear idea of budget / strategy.Looking at how we’ve decimated the U23s, and moved promising kids up to the first team I wonder if we’re not compressing what we’ve got a little bit first. Use U23s mostly as U18s, loan out anyone near the fringes of the first team. I think we’ll see fewer Cashman and Costello type signings and more 16/17 year olds, plus now we look like an established Championship side hopefully we’re filling out the younger age brackets with better quality than we’ve had the last 10-15 years.
sign em bothBayliss scored for Shrewsbury and JHC still knocking them in for Peterborough, thought he would have left there by now considering he was linked with Championship clubs.
Buy back clausesign em both
My bet is Athletico Madrid. They love chucking a wad at strikers in the Portuguese top flight. If he does near 30 I'm the league and gets 1 in 2 in Europe I can see it happening.Calling it now, if Vik bangs 25 in for Sporting, they'll sell him to someone like Dortmund next summer for big bucks and we will rake in another 7 or 8 million
Often wonder how good Bayliss could’ve been if he’d hung around under RobinsBayliss scored for Shrewsbury and JCH still knocking them in for Peterborough, thought he would have left there by now considering he was linked with Championship clubs.

Marosi was alright until he had his head kicked in. Was going to take time for him to fully recover and we couldn’t afford the risk of him not being 100% right.I thought he and Marosi still looked pretty good in the pre-season game at Shrewsbury.
Not sure how they'd do in the league above though, even for a lower end team
Shrewsbury v Lincoln tomorrow.
Marosi, Bayliss and Shippers v Walker and Burroughs
