I can't beleieve how people don't understand what Jones is saying about TC. Is it intentional? He has a massive ceiling and none of us know how high he is going to go. Jones is looking at similar players he has managed and made a comment based on that.

I took it as far as young talented players go, there's not much between him and young prem players, which I wouldn't say is too farfetched.
Despite Callums bizarre snipe, I've relentlessly said all season how good he is since the team has been settled, and if I had to pick a player of the year, it would be Tyreece, simply because without him, we wouldn't win games, he's our X factor.
I'd also say he was more impactful than JRS because of his versatility, and I dare say, I think he's almost as promising as Lookman was, just a couple of years behind.
He has improved so much over the past few weeks. He really does seem to have found his confidence. It has clicked. One of the most important players now in our team. You can see how much he was missed last week against Lincoln.
If we don’t get promoted I could see us losing him in the summer. Better than Blackett-Taylor now in my opinion.
Surely TC is the perfect template for the owners possible business plan.
A young player not previously identified as an outstanding talent, but with bags of potential, is developed by an excellent academy.
Increasingly becomes an effective first team player, promoted by an encouraging and positive manager. Plays in a system, and in a role that works to his strength so that he develops. Ensure that the player is fully contracted, so that when the offers come in both the club and the player will benefit.
Re-invest the money to finance the Academy so new future talent can be developed along same lines, and help cover clubs losses for owners.
Ideally we would be in the Championship or PL, as we would will receive more money when the player is sold than we will obtain in Div 1.
I guess that the expectation was that Miles would be sold first, but his ongoing injury issues have somewhat hampered plans (but probably helped TC), and highlights the potential risks to this strategy.
Watching the lad develop this season has been a real pleasure. It was a case of if only he can improve his finishing and he has found that. He has become hot property.

Honestly not sure if it's a great plan. If we're losing around 15m a year, selling a player for a few million doesn't touch the sides.
At this stage, either prepare yourself to lose a shed load of money and keep every good player you can for as long as you can, or don't get involved in football ownership.

I’ve been thinking this is a big part of their plan for a while. Any Gomez/Shelvey/Lookman level players will always come through, but it’s rare and when they do they’re very difficult to hold on to.
What we do regularly have though are players like TC with a lot of potential that they can reach if we get our management and coaching right. TC could have been anything from a player who didn’t make it here (where he was heading under Appleton, and how some fans saw him), a useful L1 squad player (what most probably expected this season), to the player he’s now becoming.
I hope we hold on to him and have confidence this ownership won’t sell TC for a million or two as RD would have done. I can see their aim being to increase/maintain investment in the squad through the occasional big sale, but I can accept that if it ultimately leads to the squad getting better overall.
I'm not naive as we have always been a selling club other than Richard Murray part one of his tenure when him and Curbs didn't want to sell Scott Parker(toys out the pram) but does Nathan Jones really need to talk like a salesman who wants his commission come the summer ?
Some of the comments from 8-10 pages back are great to read now.
I’m still trying to find the one from @Braziliance on another thread that said we would never have a shot at top six with academy products like TC and Anderson in our squads and we had to spend some money to get better in. :-)
Oh if anyone can find it, I'm sure you can. It's not like time is an issue for you.

Hopefully 35,000+ of us will be belting it out at Wembley.
