Don't think anybody thought Rodwell was a bad signing at the time

£10m would see them get their money back.
Yes asset book value would be less in a standard business but that’s not really how football operates.

Never said anyone did, the original point was about looking to sign young players who haven't quite made PL squads and Rodwell wasn't that type of signing. He'd already made plenty of appearances for Everton and Man City.

Burnley got compo for Danny ings, even though he didn't sign for them until he was 19....
Guidance on The Level of Compensation For Out Of Contract Football Players
This article explores the level of compliance needed for players out of contract
level.law
In April 2016, the PFCC handed down its award in respect of the compensation payable to Burnley for its training and development of Danny Ings during the four years he spent with the club. The PFCC awarded Burnley the guaranteed net sum £6.5m, a further £1.5m in contingent sums based on appearances and a 20% sell-on fee. At nearly twice the guaranteed sum awarded in respect of Daniel Sturridge, the decision constituted the highest sum ever awarded to a club for its training and development of a player following the expiry of his contract.

Gyan, Welbeck & Bent was as good as it got for me, outside SNQ / Phillips. We’ve had a couple of good goal scorers (eg Ross Stewart) but not had a strikeforce who all offered something different since that season IMO
The Situation
Striker
I did.
Said at the time it was madness to spent that sort of money on a player like Rodwell when we had been crying out for a creative CM. It was an issue for years and years during our time at PL level and was rarely addressed. Rodwell certainty wasn't going to change that.
I was never a fan of him at all even during his time at Everton and City.

He’s hardly set the Championship alight and was only steady away in most games for us last season in League One too.
Cirkin came from the PL. So did Roberts.
I sort of see your point though. They won’t want a 10m loss on the books.
Has age on his side no doubt. Not exactly a proven player at Championship level (Stoke fans didn’t think a lot of him?) but he could step up under the right conditions and a manager who shows some faith in him like Neil.

Aye but he was REALLY anonymous in those minutes he played

I’ve never understood this view on transfers.
We don’t know what the budget is, but I doubt it would be spunked on one player and who’s to say we can’t help him fulfil his potential so he’s worth five times that amount?
Also, is £3.5m a lot of money for a young player with potential? I don’t think so, personally.

Couldn't understand bringing in Welbeck given we had Waghorn needing game time. Parts of that season, he was as good as at any point in his career.
Gyan was entertaining to watch warm up, let alone play and Bent was fast as lightning and had the opposition looking to drop 10 yards. Were good times looking back.

Leeds fans did though and we have the benefit of knowing what he can do so the risk is reduced. He's a class player imo and more than capable of playing in the Championship. He can go a lot further if he continues to develop, the talent's there.

play off semi final has definitely romanced how good he was slightly, I'd still have him here though

Maybe it will be like 1.5/2m with add ons & but back clause etc

I think he needs to use his left foot more instead of trying to cut in more.
Id swap him and roberts more in games too but what do I know!
Potential is there though imho.

I slated him every game all the way up till that Sheff wed away, but that performance shows what he COULD be like. What a performance that was. Got us out of the shit numerous times by getting us up the pitch 60/70 yards just by gliding past players. Was very impressive. Brian Mooneyesque...
PS

That sounds about right. Potential is good, but it comes with risk - it might not be fully realised. At least he's been here so the coaches have a good understanding of whether it's worth the risk.

Been there since just before his 19th birthday and will never play a single game for them. Tough for them to claim they’ve developed him much. Also he turns 23 shortly after his deal expires so you’d imagine that would impact any compensation. It’s a difficult one to second guess but I doubt they’d get a huge amount.
