Not sure quite how you are linking my comments to DCL and Richarlison, both of whom are starters when fit? When they go it will be for seven figures, to teams playing in Europe not to a team batting to stay in the Prem.
Rodwell made 86 appearances for us, don’t know which 12 months it was we played in every competion in European football to achieve that many appearances.
He was called up to England 3 times between 2011 and 2013….. so presumably his good 12 months was 2011 and he got call ups over the next 2 years off the back of that?
Not to mention some actually paid £12 -16m for him rather than giving him away to get him off the wages.
