Plus its telling that aside from Grabban we've not sold a player for big money in years

which to me indicates that Lambert was getting every single player he signed to overachieve massively. Hughton didn't get much from his much hyped tranche of signings to make them overly appeal to other clubs, and the bulk of the desirable players we have now is just because we paid fairly big money for them to begin with and would hope to at least recoup that (Olsen, Redmond) whearas Turner, Hooper, Vadis, RvW, etc probably move at a loss/free
