He is correct. Who the hell in this climate would offer £30m for Angelino? Literally, no one. Even Real and Barca are broke.

Good luck Angelino. How much profit did we bank?

It's literally his value though. Can you give examples of top teams selling assets for half their market values? Truth is, we're so bad in sales it borders on negligence. Harrison with an option to buy at 10m, Pedro Porro with an option to buy at 9m (less than we purchased him for and now voted Liga NOS defender of the month for 3 months straight) are two other examples. We need to stop deluding ourselves that we're genuinely trying to maximise sales; you don't insert options to buy on assets which can improve if that's the case.He is correct.

He is definitely wrong about Denayer and Tosin.He is correct. Who the hell in this climate would offer £30m for Angelino? Literally, no one. Even Real and Barca are broke.
Regarding Angelino, sure, the covid climate has hit all clubs finances. That doesn't mean we didn't sell him for peanuts. Remember that Liverpool sold unproven Rhian Brewster to Sheffield for 24m during covid, and other clubs have still made decent money on sales as well (Chelsea paid alot for Havertz still). I don't think covid is FULLY enough of an excuse for how low we sold him for.
My central point stands, we are and have been shite at selling players for what their worth.

Wish him well. He never fit in our system. He can attack well, but unlike a normal wingback system he plays in, with us he still needed to defend like a LB. At that point if you want to free him of all responsibilities of defending and let him attack, then you might as well make him a winger which Pep did in some cup games. Seeing we have left sided options to defend like Laporte and Ake we might as well look for a real left footed winger.

Denayer was excellent at Celtic. Poor at Sunderland. Did quite well at Galatasaray but they played him at RB.Usual nonsense.
Where are all these club shelling out 30m for him? Did Txiki turn down those offers and delibrately choose Leipzig?
Denayer, major attitude issues, shit on all his loan spells and we got 9m for him.
Tosin, cheap deal but hardly anyone else falling over themselves to give us more money and we let him to go a team that could let him start and develop.
He should have gotten his chance after his spell at Celtic.

The fee is similar to what struggling Forest got from Villa for Matty Cash who had never played higher than the Championship in his lifeHe is definitely wrong about Denayer and Tosin.

Yeah I think if one tried we could find many more examples like this too.The fee is similar to what struggling Forest got from Villa for Matty Cash who had never played higher than the Championship in his life
I dont' really wanna give covid as an excuse for the clubs terrible selling of players, as we have also clearly been terrible before covid as well.
Because we never let them playHis market value, according to transfermrket is 31.5m, we basically sold him for half his value. Really poor sale from us. I'm not sure why we struggle so much to sell our players for their true values.
Villa have much more money than Leipzig.The fee is similar to what struggling Forest got from Villa for Matty Cash who had never played higher than the Championship in his life
Selling abroad, you get less.
Still doesnt make it a good deal.
