Not like the days when they were regualrly selling players for north of 15 million. Gylfi went for a reported 40 million. Bony 30m. Ayew 25m,etc,etc,etc.

Jenkins was the Welsh Daniel Levy. He drove a hard bargain.
True , Sheffield United looking at Darling, who has refused to sign a new deal as of writing , looks like the club is looking downward and in decline for the first time in decade or more
