So, you're basically just saying all of this based on assumptions. Nice. Again, silly assumptions. Just because Marseille is selling him for a lower price than they bought him doesn't mean they think he's ever going to develop into a good enough player! The number of years left in a player's contract will mostly play a part in determining how much they will be sold. AND actually Marseille bought Remy for £12.4m from Lens. So, if they are gonna sell him for the reported price of £15m, they will be selling for a higher price than they paid for him! I seem to remember that Drogba joined us at 24, only 1 year younger than Remy now and it took him like 2-3 years to really flourish in England. Ever heard of the term, 'Late Bloomer'?
