We don't know that for certain. Everyone could see Danny Rose had a ceiling that was 100% the rumoured £55m Chelsea bid, Dier the same at £50m. Dele I stand by is a special talent but Rose and Dier? Are we really saying that we couldn't replace those two more than adequately for the £105m total both were being linked with away?
Sometimes you retain, sometimes you sell. I just feel that there are a few we weren't cute enough with when knowing they'd bring in more financially than they gave us talent wise.
We replaced Walker with Aurier, let that sink in for a second.
Sorry but this is complete hindsight, absolutely no way would selling our first choice full backs in the same window been a good idea, what kind of message would that have sent out to the rest of the players for example?
