"We have reached agreement with Schalke for the permanent transfer of Nabil Bentaleb this summer. We wish Nabil all the best for the future."
So all confirmed and something I feel we'll regret as I think he could be a top player.
Good luck to the lad
Bentaleb

Apparently that's £75m we've received from academy transfers since 2011

Not sure what happened here, but I was disappointed when he fell out of Poch's favour and the deal with Schalke was agreed.
1. It seems a pretty small amount of money for a young player with such potential. Not a pittance, but you would hope a sell-on fee was put in.
2. We are very short of quality in his area of the pitch. We have Victor and Dembele. Then Dier, who is also having to cover at CB mainly. Then a player in Winks who is still largely potential and finding his way, and Onomah who is not nearly ready.
We bemoan the quality of the sqaud past the first 14/15, but we must remember it is Poch who has let players such as Chadli, Bentaleb and Townsend leave, solid PL squad players for us who would all contribute more than GKN, Sissoko and Winks have under Poch so far
