Carvalho sold to Liverpool

[Expat Smoggie]

It’s too bad that Fulham weren’t able to keep hold of their prized asset Carvalho (sold for a packet of chips £5m)— I doubt they’ll never be able to replace him in the near term at least.

He certainly has all the makings of a top winger and maybe a striker but my point is here we need to somehow put a stop to top teams poaching the youngest talent and getting them on the cheap as Liverpool seem to have done with Fulham.

I’m not too sure how it can be prevented but championship sides pushing for premier league promotion are on a hiding to nothing when it comes to how far big clubs will go to secure the name of a rising talent.

Moreover, it certainly will disrupt Fulham’s preps for a very tough premier league season.

They agreed to sell him in January, but it fell through, they sorted a deal for the summer in April.

It's just being confirmed now, they'll have been planning for life without him for a while.

I understand that but somehow we need to stop this type of poaching, especially when the parent club gets ripped off.
