If you take the player himself out of the equation and look at it purely from a monetary sense, CCFC gained nothing whatsoever. Nantes lost a player that cost them €1mil, and would have scored more goals for them in the years that followed, but was way over-valued at £15mil to begin with, and wasn't exactly going to fire Nantes to Champs League success etc.
As I said before, you don't seem to grasp how football transfers work.

Do you reckon Cardiff should ask Norwich if they can give back the £11 million Warnock paid for Josh Murphy? After all, he cost Norwich nothing, was clearly over-valued at £11 million and CCFC subsequently gained nothing from the transfer.
