tgarve Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Was thinking of players teams sold early because they thought they had got the most out of a player’s lifespan. For us Gary Speed - Newcastle to Bolton. Played another four years. Eight goals at 36-37 for Bolton Solano - both times. Was one of West Ham’s best players 07/08. We could have used that Gary Cahil - Villa to Bolton. Johnny Evans - Man U to West Brom Albrighton - Villa to Leicester Kouyate - West Ham to Crystal Palace How do the bottom 4 fit what your saying ? A 23 year old Gary Cahill moving to Bolton? Probably hundreds of examples of young players moving and getting better elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Gary McAllister perhaps. Coventry seemingly happy to let him go on a free and he did well for Liverpool. Klose had a good few seasons in Italy after leaving Bayern, probably could still have done a job. Defoe for sure, Spurs let him go for a low fee to Toronto, didnt play there long and he was back before long banging in 15 league goals a season for a shite Sunderland side. Its hard to say though, often players look like they're on the decline then new surroundings give them a late second wind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably hundreds of examples of young players moving and getting better elsewhere Johnny Evans was about 27 wasn't he when left? not exactly young But would you say Man U felt they got the utmost out of him and never thought he’d get better so sold him on and signed Rojo or whoever? Mistake by Man U as they’ve spent big when they probably should have kept him around. Thought of another one - Abdoulaye Faye us to Stoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I think you need to find a new criteria as I can't see how Abdoulaye Faye fits into this Faye was good for a good couple of seasons after we sold him, like.

Wullie Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 "Can anyone think of any transfers in football history where the player was sold because their club didn't really want them anymore? My mind is blank." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I thought he fell out with KK not that we thought we'd got the most out of him and we needed to move him on Unless it's a small club selling to a bigger club I'm not entirely sure what the criteria is here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cheesy Beans Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I think he’s asking for players who were sold because their club thought they’d turned to shit, but they rejuvenated their career at the new club? The list provided makes no sense to the question though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Surely the best recent example in England is Milner who has picked up a title and a European Cup since being released by Man City. Also Pirlo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
