The thing is, I don't think it's a one or the other situation.Personally, I’d prefer us to keep the youngsters showing a bit of potential and sell the dross that might be either current or former internationals. I agree about not playing them too early though - a gradual move up through the levels should be carefully managed.
We have a list of players we want to sell at the moment. We should still want to sell these players, given the opportunity, regardless of how well the younger players are doing.
I wonder what happened with Markanday. I started in this thread with the impression that we rated him quite highly and contract talks were happening. Now it appears he isn't signing and we can either sell now or lose him to a team abroad in the summer or a lower fee to a British club.
I guess it's either we think he won't progress further with us or he wants out for some reason.
