This one gave me pause there too. I thought "Sure he's been a bust, that used to mean you had to sell for less than you paid." However some clubs are just much better at selling than others, whether the player justifies the fee or not. I've no doubt that if Delap, or Savinho were Manchester United players - the fees they would be moving for would be drastically smaller than these reported £50 and £75M. United have been dreadfully poor at getting fees in for players they want to move on - but usually that's somewhat understandable, based on the poor performances of the likes of a Sancho, Rashford, Onana, etc. That should be the same with Chelsea and City for players like Delap, Reijnders, Savinho, Gittens, etc - players the clubs obviously want to move on - but it won't be. Somehow they will, or are going to, do well off of these player sales.
