I'm not sure that is the main issue with shifting the likes of Dele and Ndomdbele. You need:
- a club which can meet whatever fee we ask for
- a club which can match the wages
- a club which the player will be interested in moving to
- a club which will take the risk on them greater with Ndombele)
Even if we subsidise the financials (e.g. say that we'll accept £20m and pay £50k-£100k p.w. of their wages), you STILL need to find a club which the player will join
And even if we were to banish Dele or Ndombele to the reserves/youth team, it makes them come across as even more disruptive, which then makes it less likely other teams will take the risk
You need to find a team which is desperate and which has some cash but is to some degree 'big' or has some ambition. Saudi Sportswashing Machine are about the only takers which I can think of for Dele, and for Ndombele you probably need to find a desperate Italian team (I dont think Lyon could fit him in teh team now, nor PSG given their non-running forward line)
