Been struggling to think of any foreign players we have signed that have 'developed' sold for profit and gone on to greater things. Vaz Te possibly to West Ham but hard to think of another..
Ludewig has literally just moved to Schalke... We haven't made any money out of it but he's definitely dfeveloped and moved up!
Didnt he moved on our relegation from the Premier League ? The point I am trying to make is the players we have made big bucks from have been mainly our academy players ie Stones , Mason Holgate , Brown plus lower uk league teams Pinnock, Lyndsey ,Hourihane etc not german ,austrian leagues.
