How much you'll get back for players is fundamentally one of the most important considerations that needs to be made when signing players with the rules being the way that they are.
There's a reason that we are the only club in the league that has these problems. We sign players that we either don't sell when we have a chance to or can't sell because they're either too old, too injured or too crap.
Every club in the league understands this except this one.
hopefully done? you mean hopefully NOT

He looks better on the ball than most of our squad, but I wouldn't feel confident enough playing him central without having a CDM infront of the back four.
The only club ?
One example. United gave pogba away for free. Signed him for 100 million and now gave him away for free again. Matic, mata among othes.
We are badly run. But this happens to a lot of clubs at times .

The problem we have isn't the age it's always the wages that don't reflect the ability. Once that happens, you can't sell.
No one would be upset at signing Eriksen (a 30 year old who's recovered from a heart attack) on £100k a week because of his talent for example.
Car Crash Transfer Window , the clock can time out on this rubbish.
People tend to be myopic when it comes to football clubs

We are the only club that are severely restricted by profit and sustainability rules. Despite the examples you have given, Manchester United have still cleared over £100m in player sales in the last three years. They also have a plus £500m annual turnover and a wages to turnover ratio of less than 60% so they are not in any way ever in danger of falling foul of the rules.
You are correct that their football operation is very badly run, but to compare them to us is folly.

Which goes to my point... our wage to turnover was 95%.
We can't shift player not due to age but due to wage.
We sold Digne, we sell Richy, Dom, add Moise Kean, Lookman...that's well over £100million in player sales in 4 years too

They are all factors though? If Andre Gomes was good, injury free and 25 we'd have no problem shifting him even if he was on the same wages he is now. That goes for all the players we have struggled to sell in the last few years.
We have identified the completely wrong footballers ever since Moshiri has been here, and yet you questioned a poster for raising a very valuable point that if we signed Winks on a permanent deal, we would never see our money back on him again principally because he'd be approaching 30 by the time we came to sell him and he's a very average footballer. He's already getting paid quite well at Spurs.
To the point about wages, we paid the going rate that a club trying to gatecrash the top 6 can expect to pay. You aren't getting players like Digne, Mina and Gomes out of Barcelona if you don't pay them what they want.
