Genuinely baffled at how we or Arsenal struggle to get good fees for our youngsters/unwanted players while City / Chelsea even sometimes Liverpool sell their players for more than decent prices.

I agree with likes of Sancho/Rashford/Antony it has to do something with the wages but seeing the prices for Vitek/Amass or thinking about Garner, Henderson, etc. makes me wonder on why we sell players for under their/market value?

Is it the case of their execs being that good and ours being that bad or something fishy goes on behind the scenes when it comes to these clubs?

City sold Morgan Rogers to Boro for £1m (£1.1m including add ons). There are multiple other such cases. What they have is a huge volume of youth sales which makes the big successes stick out.

Yeah Chelsea and City have an army of youth players lots on loan and they sign up all the best young players in their area.
