Agree with this. But it takes time to nurture these players, they don't immediately develop a 600% increase in worth.

Players don't go from being £5m worth of Kante to £30m worth of Kante without a combination of improvement, success and exposure. You can guaranteed, had Leicester gone the way of Villa two seasons ago and been relegated; rather than having won the league, Kante would have moved on for £7 or £8m.

Value is always set by the buying team - the selling club can pitch a player at whatever they like; they'll only get what someone is willing to pay.
Absolutely, but that doesn't diminish the quality of the player. That's all I was saying really, fans aren't really concerned with how much a player actually costs, just how good they are. If we signed (for example) Batshuayi or Dembele for £20/£25m and they did what Lukaku did, we'd take that all day.
 

Come on lads we all know deadline day deals come out the blue. Remember when we signed Lukaku after never even being linked with him once in the window and after we actually tried to buy Ba!? Stuff will happen, we will see if it's good in the next 30 odd hours.

Lukaku on loan, plus he wasn't their main man. No club is going to out of the blue sell us the main striker on deadline day.
 
stressful couple of days ahead for Ronny, days that could define his future, loads of big decisions to make, for example, will he go for the 5 or 6 iron?

At the end of the day if we sell Barkley to Chelsea in the end, what we have effectively done is over 2 seasons sold our 3 prized assets in Stones, Lukaku and Barkley to 3 teams above us that we've been trying to catch up with.


Had no choice, they wanted out otherwise they would all still be here.

People keep using this as a stick to beat our board/manager, simple answer is, they tried very hard to keep them.
