Gah.

I know it is good for Premiership clubs to buy young players from small, nationwide clubs, but this time is has affected me!

In January, when clubs can buy players again, it looks like Crystal Palaces two great young players, Hayden Mullins and Julian Gray will be snapped up by Premiership clubs.

Sure, it gives us money, Mullins is going for 1.5 million, but knowing our manager he will buy rubbish players and we will lose players that hold the team together. Birmingham already bought our best player, Clinton Morrison. And many clubs like Palace could do with any money they can get at the moment.

Ok, so for a premiership club it is great. They get a potential star for a usually small price from clubs who need to sell them to survive. Its a win-win situation....

What are your views on it?

Yeah, Cheers Brummy, AJ is class! 10 goals in 5 games, you beauty!

Nathan Ellington was worshipped at his club so his nickname is the Duke of Ellington, lol.

Bobby Zamora needs to be poached by a decent Division 1 club or a mediocre Premiership.

Clinton Morrison hasnt cut his premiership teeth yet and im not convinced that he will either, at least we (Blues) gave you AJ (T Francis fave young striker and has great potential) so its not all bad for Palace :)

All good things have to come to an end sooner or later, so it's very-unlikely that a highly-rated youngster will ever want to stay with his lower league club for much-longer with the oppurtunity to play in the Premiership, where he can get better recognition from the England manager, and really show everybody what he can do.

Bristol Rovers have been affected by bigger clubs snapping-up their young talents quite badly. Since Jamie Cureton went to Reading, Jason Roberts went to West Brom, and Nathan Ellington went elsewhwere, Mandatare's been crying in the corner at the sight of Rovers' position at the end of last season in Div.3 and even this season too, where they sit deep-within the bottom-half of the table.

It's a bad thing for the smaller clubs to lose them, but it's gotta happen sooner or later really - like when Wigan lost Carroll to United.
The should really try and cash-in more though.

If the club is in debt, then I would suggest that they sell players to get the money they need.

But if they were a very good club in debt, I would keep the quality players and try for promotion. That way the would keep the quality players they have and gain money from going up into the Premiership.

I mean look at Real Madrid, they are in debt and they are still buying players like Ronaldo.
