Right, don't yell at me its just a theoretical argument, I’m not saying we will or should sell anybody just having a debate! I would have done it as a poll but cant work out how to :huh:
We know MON wants to strengthen but we have also been told from the hierarchy that funds will be more limited than last season. In that case if we want to raise funds we may want to cash in on someone. Of course our hands could be forced eg if a prem team comes in for Lolley.
But in that scenario do we sell? Or should Martin get what he can back for Carvalho If he isnt in his plans? Or I have added the curve ball option , we suspected Oz may leave but what about adding in Appiah to raise the same amount of money, someone who we really dont know his potential yet.
For the sake of argument I have assumed all 3 options generates the same total fee, I know some of you will say Lolley is worth more etc. Thoughts?
Arvin - No chance he will go this summer. This kid will be worth a fortune in 12 months. Nowhere near reached his peak value.
Lolley - prob reached his peak value, but is integral to our chances of success next season. So we won’t sell him unless a crazy offer comes in.
Carv - we won’t take a loss on him and also his value will go up if he has a good season next year, also integral to our chances.
Ozzy - I think he will leave in summer. Reached his peak value now IMO, wanted to join Stoke in Jan and they are supposedly still very keen. If they put the 6m back on table that they offered in Jan, then I think it would be good business to re-invest in squad.
