Jan 2014: Yohan Cabaye -> PSG £18m (should have been higher, possibly)
Jan 2011: Andy Carroll -> Liverpool £35M

 

Some of those players went on crazy inflation due to their unexpected form. Merino in hindsight is poor return. Thauvin would have been as well, too bad he wasn't up for it.

In comparison to? It's not been great, but I personally wouldn't say pathetic. That's Sunderland or Everton territory. :)

Everton have loads:

 

- 2022 Richarlison 60m

- 2023 Gordon 45m

- 2021 Digne 25m

- 2019 Vlasic 14m

- 2019 Lookman 18m

- 2019 Gueye 30m

- 2018 Klaasen 18m

- 2017 Lukaku 75m

- 2017 Deloefeu 10m

= 2017 Barkley 15m

- 2016 - Stones 45m

 

And that's just going back to 2016.

:lol: my recency bias is on full display. Apologies to the Scouse Mackems, OG Mackems for the win. 

Think Nobody was more implying that given how inflationary prizes are recently, the fact that up until a month ago, the only asset we've sold that has been more that £10m was over 4 years ago, and to only sell 5 in an 8 year period shows just how poorly we'd been run under Ashley.

For a penny pinching billionare like Ashley, you'd think he'd have a better understanding of asset valuation, appreciation. A good lesson in capital investment that doing the bare minimum usually results in average or below average yield.

Jul 2019: Ayoze Perez -> Leicester £30m - good deal for us. Bad for Leicester, not terrible though

Jul 2018: Alexander Mitrovic -> Fulham £22M good deal for Fulham. Good fee for us at the time.

Jul 2018: Mikel Merino -> Real Sociedad £10.5M Good deal for Sociedad. Didn't do enough to justify much more.

Aug 2016: Mousssa Sissoko -> Tottenham £30M Good deal for us. Never won over the Spurs fans but he played over 200 games for them 

Jul 2016: Gini Wijnaldum -> Liverpool £25m Good deal for Liverpool. Light fee in retrospect

 

Really goes to highlight just how ran into the ground Ashley has made us.

Going down with a team that included Perez, Mitrovic, Sissoko & Wijnaldum is a crime. Never once played Sissoko and Wijnaldum in CM, instead we had Colback & Anita. Jesus wept.

3 starts, fucking hell :lol:

 

Jesus Christ, I wanted them to survive, but they actually deserve to go down with that sort of decision making. Great for us though, I thought we were writing off the best part of £20m a couple months ago. :lol:

Don't forget the 4m loan fee too. So we actually got 19m for him! 

Yep.  Only ended up being a net £6m in fees in the end - a nice bit of business all in, helped relegate Burnley and I still think the lad did a decent job leading the line for a few months last season.  All the best to him - also, have Forest had a deekee at Jamal Lewis?  Someone should tell them he’s just what they need at left back …

I would have thought the loan fee would count towards the total price if the move became permanent. Surely Forest's negotiating team weren't THAT stupid?

Unfortunately they were! It had to be a loan fee and then if clause was activated, a separate fee of 15m..

 

Laughable. Chris Wood for the win!!

Just on the "helped relegate Burnley", but the move also helped Weghorst end up at Man U. I hope that does not hurt us next week. That transfer story may have more to come.

Nothing unfortunate about it - well not for us, I do feel a teensy bit sorry for Forest fans.

 

Thanks for bringing some joy on a miserable Saturdayt afternoon though, If I could have liked that post 10x I would have done.
