Looking forward to everyone on here acting like he's already gone every time some paper prints a story of a big club's interest

Yeah, SISU would never sell our playing assets. Looking forward to everyone on here acting like every other club in the league would sell him :slap:

Mind you Liverpool did have Conor Thomas.....he is more experienced now they can take him back for a couple of million!!

Yeah, but if the price is right,Tony, we would be mad not to sell him. It's how you spend the transfer money, what proportion of money is to be allocated to the squad following that and the making sure that adequate replacements are brought in.
The bottom line is, that if a huge club comes in fro any player you're not going to able to stand in their way even if you wanted to. Best option as someone has already said would be to sell him and then have him loaned back.

I don't see why they'd make up a bullshit rumour about a League 1 player who's only played a couple of games. Also, it's not like he's shit is it? You can see he's got great ability and if he fulfils that he won't be at City for much longer. If the papers were saying Spurs and United were after Jack Finch then I'd be skeptical.

Yup, Charlton built thmselves back up from being homeless to being an established top flight side as much by selling a top player, using some of the cash to pay some of the running costs for the season, and the rest to buy 2,3,4 players to improve the squad as a whole.
The general principle of selling players is right. It's as you say, whether you use the cash well that determines how the club does.

If the lad wants to stay it would obviously be better to keep him, he'll be worth a lot more in 12 months after he's torn a hole in L1.
But if he wants to go then yes, sell and get a loan back, although that uses a loan space for the whole season.

If Man U or Tottenham come in for him I would say his head would most definitely be turned.

Maybe Otis, if he believes he's going to get a kick. If he has enough sense to know he won't then he might consider staying for a season and getting a bigger payday when he goes in a bigger deal in 12/18 months.

We have always been a selling club tbh,,,,,SkyblueTony you like to rant about it you are the boss......a young league one player wants to leave to join Utd or Liverpool
he has played a handful of games in league one - would you sell him? What would represent in your opinion a fair price?

Yeah, something to be said for standing out like a gilded bullock in a sea of shite.

To be fair that's a bit too witty for Tony.

£1.75mill rising to £3mill, with a send back for a season on loan.
I'd take that. Who wouldn't?

every club could be classified as a selling club,
the huge problem faced by CCFC though,
is that with the current lot in charge,
any prospective buyers would be guaranteed value for money,
primarily because,
imho, & thousands of others,
TF & SW are grossly incompetent, to the extreme degradation of CCFC,
they have always elicited the aura of caring not one jot for any CCFC fan,
& grab, what seems to be, paltry sums (invariably undisclosed),
for promising youth talent,
the thread started on the newspaper muse that Maddison was interesting both Tottenham & MU,
good grief,
have they not got enough in the way of players,
both clubs have over 70 full time pro's on their books,
from the age of 17+, inordinate greed from big clubs will ruin both 'the game' and 'players' alike

Are you assuming you are going to see some of that money back on the pitch?
Otis
Well-Known Member
That's why he's got to be worth selling.
If it were 1.7m, I doubt very much we would see any of that at all invested back into the squad.
In an ideal world what we need is to be able to do is to sell a player for £6m and re-invest £1.5m - 2m of that back into the squad.

That's my issue, I don't mind us selling players, if we then use that money to build.
Samo

Are you his agent by any chance?
All the more reason to resist 1.7m now and sell him for 6m in 2years time.

What would be fair is that instead of selling these young players at the first chance so they can advance their careers without us why not hold onto them for a while longer so we stand a chance of advancing our club with them.
Let's show the same ambition as our starlets.

Why would they be interested before he's even done anything? He won't move until he has proven himself here. He's made a handful of cameo appearances, no club will pay millions off the the back of that. Once he is a regular and has scored or assisted 15+ goals, the bids will come but not before.

Depends on the what's been offered. MK Dons had an offer they couldn't refuse for Alli, Crewe couldn't afford to turn down the offer from United for Powell, etc the £1m we received for bigi's looks like a decent return, wilsons less so. But if they offered silly money, who'd turn it down? I hope he stays, he's potentially box office for us.

Agreed. But if they want to go and the head has been turned... We don't want sulking prima donnas about the place.
