My reservation with the strategy of "target promising young talent" is that we manage to keep hold of them after they graduate past "promising".
As long as we don't sell any to Small Heath that's fineWe should not be doing business with them at all

Very true.Did you see Pardews comments re keeping Carroll. Wish we had the same attitudeI think the attitude is the easy bit. It's the resolve when an offer comes in and the player is interetsed that is the real test.
