I do fear player sales will derail any chances of a playoff push.
I wonder though is January the best time to maximize profit from sales. I honestly don't know.
I know it all hinges on them staying fit, but would a Vik with 1.5 years on his contract be worth much more than a Vik with 1 year but potentially another place in the championship scoring charts?
if Im right the big 3 all have a 1.5 years left so it really is getting tight.
Jutkiewicz which effectively sent us down from the champtionship last timeGenuine Q: have we ever made a proper sale in the summer? IIRC Maddison and McCallum both went in Jan. Who have we sold for cash in the summer, not counting Hyams last minute deal.

Yup. It's not going to happen. Players will leave in January and our squad isn't big enough.Keep the team together: sure.
But we won’t keep the team together.
sorry misread I thought you said januaryThat’s was Jan as well wasnt it? Seems they feel (probably correctly) its the best time to maximise value. But that’s because it does the most damage on the pitch.
if so we need to tie up the sale straight away with at least 3 incoming quality players to step inYup. It's not going to happen. Players will leave in January and our squad isn't big enough.
Already seems certain that at least Gyokeres will be gone in the transfer window.
Good point, Im 100% sure the owners will cash in. Mine was more of a general question. I honestly dont think the value would drop between now and the end of the season. The rewards could be massive if he keeps scoring.Genuine Q: have we ever made a proper sale in the summer? IIRC Maddison and McCallum both went in Jan.

not sure re callum wilson
If that happens in January I honestly think we’d be nailed on for top 6.If we kept all of our players and improved the depth of the squad in January then we could make the playoffs. Not saying we would, but we could. But what are the chances of both of those things being true?

McNulty, Bayliss and Chaplin since L2 I believe.
So it’s about 50:50 then. Still think Vik and Cal will go in Jan (new billionaire owners aside)
If SISU are to leave , they will cash in and take what they can before they do go
I am not sure they are planning on going anywhere. But If they do go wouldn't they command a better price for the club with the prize player assets in place? By selling a player that instantly devalues the club, there is very little actually own of CCFC as it is.
100% sure there will be sales in Jan especially if SISU are still around.
Too many variables for ‘nailed on’ for me, one bad run and we could easily miss out. Takeovers aside, what are the chances of keeping the squad together anyway, let alone adding any meaningful depth in the January window?If that happens in January I honestly think we’d be nailed on for top 6.
Tyler Walker to finally emerge as a 20 goal a season Championship striker anyone?
Had our fair share of injuries and suspensions and coped really well tbf.I think as the season goes on if injuries and player sales bite then probably not. If we keep the group together maybe but still feels a big ask to me. Would love to be proved wrong on this. Never felt we were relegation fodder but feel we need a little more depth or luck to get promoted.
That chance vs QPR he would have buried 2 season ago.He looks slower than he used to no ? Or is it because I'm used to watching vik .
