I dont really get this argument tbh, when youre talking about clubs with virtually unlimited spending resources it doesnt make much difference imo.I wouldn’t.
I know we can’t compete financially with the Manchester clubs and I accept that, but if we as fans and a club even want to talk about the possibility of winning the league then we can’t continue to sell key first team players to direct title rivals.
If we'd refused to sell Walker to City and sold him for less abroad, would that've made any difference to City walking the league?, not a jot imo.
They'd have just gone and bought the next best RB on their list, of very similar quality to Walker.
And then you've got the issue of whether the player even wants to go abroad, what happens if the player is going to get 50-75% more wages from an English club than he would abroad?..like it or not, the player holds all the cards.
