Being good at selling is focusing on the wrong thing, and it's quite hilarious actually because we did that between 2008-2013 and people weren't any happier.
I don't necessarily want us to be a good selling club. We could have sold Henry at the back of the CL defeat and got 4 times the fee we got in the end. We could have sold Sanchez at the peak of his powers to Man City for £60m, but instead ending up swapping him for Mkhitaryan. Now of course, there were other fringe players who we could have sold after receiving bids when their stock was high. But that begs the question, why in gods name would we want to sell our players when they are doing well? Are we in this game to win trophies and give the manager the best players possible to succeed and keep them as long as possible, or do we want to make profits and churn through players so we can spend more frequently.
