Huddersfield just agreed a £10M fee for Aaron Mooy with Man City.
Another one slips through the net.

Out of curiosity which are the other ones you are talking about? The Dzemali one is the only one I can think of we let slip through. Remember at the time there was bemusement too so for there was something else going on. Agent, attitude, wages, home sickness, etc.

Alonso (was it £20M plus Chelsea paid), Holding (went too cheaply but maybe for understandable reasons), Clough (depending on your point of view but similar to Holding). If Turner is allowed to leave this window, I'd like £5m now (cash) plus add ons.

I think we sold Cahill too cheaply. He may have even kept us up so to sell him so early on in the window was just panic selling off A couple of people that must have known that 'the iceberg' was inevitable.
Alonso made his decision and chose to see out his contract as is his prerogative. He's come on leaps and bounds and personally I never saw him doing that. When he went to Sunderland I thought that's the level he's at.
Like Alonso, I couldn't foresee Rob Holding being as good. He had played a handful of games and whilst the potential was there we could never get a huge deal because of the league we were in and known financial issues. Getting the money we did with hopefully more to come was about as good as we could ask for. Barnsley got similar money for John Stones. Would probably been for the better if we sold to a mid table club for hope of a sell on.
Clough - probably sold for the correct amount.
Seems like every time we release a young player people are always quick to tell us what a mistake.
