Which club trained players other than Kane have we sold well? I can't think of any in the last 10 or so years.
Resale value doesn't necessarily mean selling at a profit, can also mean limiting your losses should the player not work out.
Mason, pritchard, bentaleb, walker peters, edwards, ccv, townsend, walker.

I think Solanke would be good for us. But if we're talking 50m+ for him that's a lot of money and I'm not sure he's worth that. But not a lot of strikers around I know of that seem like good value for money.

winks and parrot too
When it comes to a striker I'd rather 'overpay' for the player considered right for our system than get someone on the cheap unsuitable or just not of the desired quality. Other positions you can get more value for money but strikers are at a real premium these days....

This is the biggest issue in football for me right now.
Every time someone talks about a 6 I assume they mean a CB.
CM's are 4's and 8's.
I won't be taking questions, thank you for coming to my TED talk.
People now use numbers in Britain to mislead and baffle the mathematical challenged, substituting numbers for words, I'm off to do a 2.

I mostly agree. Though I'm open to "overpaying" in other roles too. Seems that we've gotten some more affordable business done, hopefully with the plan to pay up for the right player in a different role.
But for me I would be quite happy with doing that for other roles than the striker too.
Edit: Just to be clear. If the "right signing" for a striker role is Solanke as seen by Ange and the transfer team, definitely, be willing to "overpay" if we can afford it.
Yeah i got bored looking through.

Shame we do t sell the buys the same
Imagine making an actual profit on some…
Recently we've tried to keep hold of the good ones. Son even now would be profit. Quite a few in the starting 11 would be. Hjojberg will be profit.

You mean an accountancy profit
I mean an actual one

I mean actual. We bought hojbjerg for £15m and are selling for £17m (obligation to buy). Not much admittedly.

Not for what I’ve read
But ok, that’s one then
Any others?
We lose on so many players because we buy them and invariably don’t play them
The recent change has been buying better and we can see the value increase in most of them other than Gil
We do as well as we can (but on the flip side I don't think we wanted to sell Modric, Bale, Walker) and no blame towards Levy it's just the football food chain - especially the Kane situation where he did not bend over for City at all and don't think he got the credit he should have for that.....

He said sold well. None of those went for much at all.
Accountancy profit is the only one that matters.

Wasn’t Walker the most expensive right back at the time? Anyway ‘well’ is a relative and subjective term. I thought we did well to get £10m for Winks from a championship side
