Was speaking to a friend the other day, and he mentioned that United should've cashed in on De Gea when we had the chance. I'm not sure what the fee was when Madrid came in for him, but it was a decent offer plus Navas. I don't completely agree as he was still quality for 1-2 seasons.
It did get us talking about other times when clubs should've cashed in. I'm thinking Spurs in the last 5 years probably should've cashed in on Alli and Rose. Rose is struggling to find a club now when at one point, there was talks of £40-50m bids. I'm not sure Rose carried on his form after that and started picking up injuries. Same with Alli, after them two great season, he was linked with United/Madrid etc for £60-80m. Doesn't seem to be much interest in him now and will struggle to get back in the Spurs squad.
So when has a club kept a player despite strong interest from elsewhere only for the players form to plummet?
