I don't disagree, but if the figures that have been reported are correct, we seem to have done OK

Digne been a good servant for his time here, one of our better signings under this ownership. Pragmatic decision to move him on - free up wages
all smoke and mirrors. Prob realised we wanted to sell him and both sides agreed. We didn’t want to risk injury. Need to create a narrative around not playing.

It's not. It's spending £300million on the worst pound for pound signings the league has ever seen under Koeman and Walsh (Sandro and Vlasic were young)...to then fix that mess, while re-investing under Brands...and getting that wrong too.
Has nothing to do with banking on young players. Because for the most part we have - Dom, Richy, Iwobi, Keane, Pickford, Mina, Gomes, Digne. We bought a spine of players under 25 with "high resale". Just happens to be that only 2 (Dom and Richy) would be able to sell at a high fee.
But if those players are mismanaged, don't fit in the league, play in a poor side, don't perform...they ain't going to have a resale value.
If Mykolenko turns out to be a dud...those thinking it was a great piece of business buying young soon see it not being so.
Personally I'm more of the mould of buying to fit a clear strategy. We've never had that for years.
I thought I read £20m last night? Which considering the fees players go for these days is shocking for a French international with a large chunk left on his current contract.

But he's been gash for 18 months and 29 years old.......
Can't be poor, not a team player or key player and expect £30million for him
selling him to the other scum bag of a manger? this club is a disgrace
What if they are the only club willing to buy him over loan and "let's see."
Has he? Or are we doing that thing we always do when selling our players where we make out they weren’t that good.
Like I say, it’s not disastrous that he’s going. Quality player, hardly the heart of a lion though, and not sure how much use he’d be going into a relegation scrap.

Peter never had pace to begin with so it's not the same.
Digne would need to be replaced within 3 years anyhow, we've taken that money and got in two players plus change and 1 players' wage now pays for 2 with probably 30/40k left over. That same player who would be worth very little at 32/33 we now have the possibility that we could have 2 worth 30 million in a few years time.
It makes sense in the head, it stings a bit in the heart. Had this been the Digne that played so well in his first season here then you would say sack the manager/board, but in reality he hasn't been anywhere near that and it is best for all parties. Just would have been good had he gone abroad - but we need the cash so we can't cut off our own noses at the moment.

27.5 mil is what I read this morning
well we’re still fools
For sure, but for multiple other reasons.
Selling Digne for proper money is way down the list of foolishness.
