Where's the romance in your soul, Jim? These are OUR BOYS

We watched them win the FA Youth Cup. We watched them start to be talked about as real players. We watched them break into the England youth. We saw them go on loan and flourish, swimming not sinking. We welcomed back home with hope in our hearts and this season we have seen them change from boys to men, from squad fringes to first teamers, from "will they make it?" to "real deal"

If we sell them now I would be absolutely GUTTED. They are the sort of player I love to watch and they are OURS
