Yeah, I'm fine with anyone saying they didn't want us to sell Lankshear - I would have preferred to see him stay, but appreciate the multiple potential reasons as to why he was moved on.

What I don't agree with is those highlighting every time he scores a goal in the Championship as evidence that we shouldn't have sold him....
It's a rash some people just can't resist scratching. Try not to let it bother you :)
 
plenty have smashed it in the Championship and then failed at the top level:

The other trend I'm seeing is people naming strikers that succeeded in the Championship but failed in the PL as if it is relevant to Lanks journey.

When I look at that list I don't see it balances with names like Watkins, Toney, Abraham, Bamford, Solanke etc. These guys certainly prove that you can have attributes that allow you to move between the 2 divisions.

Personally, I'd rather have Lanks at Spurs. That's my personal opinion.
