I agree we are not good selling players but this is very dodgy. in 5 years they sold players for 280 mil if you take the Coutinho one away not one of those players are close to top 6 standard. And having said all that the Coutinho money are dodgy also. He is/was not one of the best players in the world 80 mills top why did Barca pay so much ?The Welsh Xavi.
And to be fair, didn't we make more money selling academy players than anyone else not too many seasons ago? The main bullshit with Liverpool isn't selling academy players, it's the ridiculous prices they get for shit they don't want. And the main bullshit with us is how we're seemingly incapable of selling perfectly decent players that aren't quite good enough for us.
They got their money back on Benteke, for example, whereas we bought Wilfried Bony for £27m and ended up selling him for £12m. They managed to make an £8m profit on Mamadou Sakho, whereas Mangala goes out on loan for years eventually leaving on a free. They sell Mignolet for over £8m while we can't find a buyer for Joe Hart and eventually let him leave for less than £4m. Samir Nasri for £3.5m ffs. I just don't get how we're constantly failing to find buyers for players. I mean why the fuck is Patrick Roberts still on our books, for example.
I think we allow players to go on loan too easily. If it's obvious it isn't working out with a player, then we should be selling them straight away while people still remember the reason we bought them in the first place, rather than have them go on a series of lacklustre loans than just slowly ruin their reputation.

They had the Neymar money and spent it like a child in a sweet shop.I agree we are not good selling players but this is very dodgy. in 5 years they sold players for 280 mil if you take the Coutinho one away not one of those players are close to top 6 standard.

How did Chelsea receive £28M from a near bankrupt Everton for Lukaku
The £54m they got for a past it Oscar was the one that made me wonder.....

Past it? ffs he’s only just turned 29 a couple of weeks ago and for better or worse by some margin the top player in China’s super league.The £54m they got for a past it Oscar was the one that made me wonder.....
Don’t dispute the fee was ridiculous but he wasn’t & isn’t past it. Just prepared to swap cash/better quality of life for playing in Europe.

You do realise he’s a mod on here? Calls himself Jim Harriov or something similar.Jail is the least of his worries, cross Vladimir and the result is usually death.

Is that down to Tixiki
People need to accept that it is not that simple.
Liverpool probably refused to spend the 40 odd on Jota without selling them Ki-Jana, so Wolves buckled.
dippers, rags, arse, chelski and the rest are all fantastic at getting ex players and the media singing the right tune about how Solanke, Ibe, Brewster, Maitland Niles and all the rest overhyped players are the next big thing. This filters through and then scouts, managers and everyone else are convinced they are the player they need.
I will fight this sort of rubbish till the end of time because its bollocks. We have banked millions off youth players and our first team sales have been pretty much bang on. The likes of Dzeko and Tevez were probably sold under market value but we do good by our players and they wanted those moves. Dzeko has said in an interview that he was desperate to go to Roma and he pleaded with us to get a deal and we did just that.
Tosin is worth what someone wants to pay, he has been part of two pretty poor championship teams but he has little to no coverage in the media or anywhere else and you are asking someone to come in and spend tens of millions on an unproven 23yr old.
Who do we think is going to spend 20m on Tosin? because I can't see any.
I totally agree a guarantee there are very few Liverpool fans who have even heard o FB Tosin
Just like I’ve not heard of their 18 year old
