Try looking longer term than only the current season. All 4 of Traoré, Kayi Sanda, Juan and Matsuki have all gained experience and value. For relatively little outlay. Sure it didn't help us stay up this season, but nor is it the reason we went down. It may help us stay up next time to have players like them closer to readiness for the 1st team. Or are you suggesting we never do anything for the medium or long term?

Both still happen at most pro clubs in the UK and are used in recruitment decisions to support each other.

Would he really have been tested that much by West Brom and Leeds to the extent we wouldn't win? McCarthy wasn't particularly overstretched in any of the playoff games. We beat both with Bazunu in goal during the season. How did that happen?

I just listed them in the post you quoted. @Dusic further expanded on them.

It didn't cause our shit season. It is very little money and they've all increased in value.

We've had three players out on loan to sister clubs this season. Gaining experience and value to benefit Saints. Plus allows us to get work permits for players that may struggle otherwise to get. Plus signed a very promising player from a sister club.

Juan and Matsuki were signed for minimal prices and remain Saints assets. It isn't funding other clubs, them improving out on loan benefits Saints. It also allows Saints to get work permits for players they couldn't otherwise sign.

Don't believe everything you read.

Only 2 goals in 16 League Two games suggests otherwise. He is older than Dibling and Dibling impressed in the Premier League.

Fed up based on which staff moves around the group?

Which 8 other Championship teams do you think will spend more than £10m+ on a player this summer? Ipswich, Leicester, Sheffield United and Birmingham are probably the only ones capable of doing so.

They couldn't get close to affording his transfer fee let alone his wages.

Our young players in recent years haven't been the issue. Many have excelled in poor teams. The issues have been with experienced players who lacked quality.

Edwards isn't under 22 and has over 170 first team games under his belt. I'd rather we focus on quality, rather than experience.

Which four?

More than just "reasonable". This is 4 years old, but he hasn't lost pace in that time. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15953524/fastest-player-premier-league-this-season/

Because he is good enough to help get us promoted and there is little incentive to sell a player we signed for £18m under a year ago for £10m. Might as well keep him for a season and see if we go up again.

It is very hard to get accurate player heights anywhere. Many websites that list heights (including those of their own clubs) have them incorrect.

We weren't a Championship team when we signed him (in quality, we were 😁)

I'm not saying it couldn't be, but it has not been mentioned by either club.

I'd rather they went for quality in his partner, not experience. Ronnie Edwards isn't a novice. He has played 172 professional games, including 143 league games. 56 games of which were in the Championship or higher.

There has been no confirmation of that from either club.
