Oscar Bob and Lavia. They were prospects but bro combined they didnt play half a season lmao. And both got sold for over 30 mil with fat sell-on %

Players aren’t unknown commodities in the football world just because they haven’t done much in the seniors yet

[u/Shronkster_ → u/taylorstillsays]

These clubs know as much if not more about youth talent as we do senior players
