Would have like to see Welbeck in the squad and Watkins aswell

So agreeing with me on that then.

Im not suggesting they start ahead of Kane.

maybe show more respect for a different opinion and how good Elliott Anderson has played the 6 role since coming in

Its a bizarre argument.

People presumably think we should have got a bigger initial fee ASWELL as add ons. Those add ons arent part of a masterplan as opposed to a higher fee.

And had we waited longer and not been as desperate, chucking him out the door in the less busy winter window, then he would have been worth more, however it was structured.

It isn't really difficult to fathom, the lower the fee, the higher the sell on and vice versa.

 I don't know what's so bizarre in waiting until the final amount until forming an opinion. With Raya, some of the criticism was both premature and way off the mark.

But that implies that the total of any package is always the same. Ie, he is being sold right at that moment, and its just a question of structuring.

His value regardless of structuring was limited. We had to sell, we were desperate, we sold him in January when theres less money around, clubs less willing to spend money, and we sold him early as opposed to letting bis value continue to appreciate.

Theres no reason to suggest that if all of the above factors werent in play, and if we had waited, that we couldnt still have the add ons AND a higher fee.

Big sales will contain sell on fees. If that player goes to the very top, it doesnt justify the sale because of potential add ons down the line, its not something our board have done really well to include, its standard. Its not either or.

It's 10%higher than Bellingham's when he left Birmingham.

Do you think less than £10m was good for Raya?

It's not 1995.

You keep fixating on that, different situations, there will be other players with different clauses. Its like defending Venkys because they at least pay the players unlike Chansiri did. 

Its simple logic. We sold desperately, in January, before he had time to further play and appreciate in value. Logically, regardless of structure, his value with us being distressed sellers was lower than it should have been.

And Jobe Bellingham went for nearly *ten million* more. Palace nabbed a bargain due to the seller being distressed, not sure how anybody could argue anything else.
