Just read an article stating that Liverpool's Harvey Elliot was actually a QPR player at a very young age. One of many that got away. Cannot understand how can we ever make profit from our academy if promising youngsters are poached away that early!

Fulham nicked him from us when he was 15, and Liverpool nicked him from Fulham when he was 16.

We take players back at 21-23 when they fall out the other end. Not that this has worked out too well for us.

These kids get picked up by big clubs and most never mske it because they are focused on buying established players. They get a good footballing education and find their level on the why back down. Look at Bowler.
We pick up free out of contract players.
