Experience? He's turning 21 this year and essentially played one competitive season in his career, which has been in the Czech League. He's done really well by all accounts, but it's hardly significant experience to shout about.
Going back to the 21/22 season, West Ham's significant player sales would be;
- Felipe Andersen - sold for £3m, having signed him for £35m.
- Issa Diop - sold for £15m, having signed him for £22m.
- Declan Rice - sold for £100m
- Gianluca Scamacca - sold for £25m, having signed him £35m.
- Nikola Vlasic - sold for £8m, having signed him for £25m.
- Said Benrahama - sold for £12m having signed him for £20m
Some more recent purchases who are still in the squad (I think) would also include:
- Max Kilman - signed for £45m
- Crysencio Summerville - signed for £25m
- Niclas Fulkrug - signed for £24m
- Luis Guilherme - signed for £20m
- Edson Alvarez - signed for £35m
- James Ward-Prowse - signed for £30m
- Nayef Aguerd - signed for £27m
- Maxwell Cornet - signed for £17m
Very likely they lose money on every single one of those.
Nearly every major signing they have made in the last 5 years has failed and/or they've made a loss, and barring a £100m golden goose academy player, their net spend would be amongst the worst in the division.
That's the model you want us to emulate, is it?
