I think this is a case of you can't win em all. We've spanked a few arses over the last 2/3 years (financially) and I suppose this one's a bit more on the pragmatic side.
Keeping everything crossed that this guy is mustard. But if you'd said to me last week that club x bought an unknown but promising kid, loaned him out for a year and now stand to make a 20m+ profit by selling him to club y, I'd be thinking TB's done it again.
