Your list isn't even complete:

Jeff Reine-Adélaïde
Ismaël Bennacer
Donyell Malen
João Virgínia...

All sold for very little, or let go for nothing.

And I'm sure there are still yet more too.

They weren't free transfers, but were indeed sold for far too little.

Some of the names on the list though...

Bunjaku
Ebecilio
Zelalem
Pleguezuelo...

Such big things were expected of them. I'd have to Google them now, to find out where the heck they all ended up.

None of them have done anything, but all four were supremely talented.

That list looks like the Paris phonebook.

I don't see what the issue is with letting players go at the end of their contract.
You sign someone for three years, you can't then moan when they play for three years instead of getting a new contract or sold after two.
Don't see why football contracts should be worth less than any other profession.

We're competing with sides that manage to sell hundreds of millions of talent, rather than let it go for free.

A lot of our issue is we sign average players and give them huge contracts, no one wants to take them on that money so are stuck with them. Might be doing the same with Bertrand next

So many of them have had career ruining injuries.
