Message for FatChris89. sorry mate I missed your response re sale of players for profit. Michael Arteta, John Stones, Andy Johnson, Joleon Lescott and Fellaini to name a few. Plus we also sold loads of kids for profit. Rooney, Rodwell, Anichebe, Duffy, Vaughn. to name a few. Can you think of any since Moyes left where we have "balanced the books"? I cant. I am not saying Moyes was the best. but at his time the clubs' dealings seemed better than they are no. At this present time we seem to py hish and sell low overall.

Inflation needs to be given a second thought too, Degsy. When Moyes was here, the value of a good, young player didn't hit the bank balance as much as it does these days. We got Lescott, for example, for around 5m. Nowadays there is no way decent players come for that price. Just over the park a season or so ago, they sold an average forward for 20m. A player that didn't have much first team experience, or goals, and he still went for such a price. It's hard to compare one era to another, even if the DM years don't seem so far away, they are still a million miles away from what the game is now mate.

Unless I'm being a dumbass, i'd say the Lukaku sale was pretty great value since Moyes left. Lookman, although i think could have commanded higher, went for a nice profit. How about Gueye?
Yes there are errors in our transfer dealings, but come on, we've played some blinders too!

There have been a couple since Moyes left Degsy that have already been pointed out. But in general I do agree with you. When we didn't have much money we invested wisely in players, Coleman for 50k. Now we have money we get rinsed for players they flop and we struggle to get rid.
