All this talk of us being a selling club hardly adds up. Arsenal have lost more big players than us in the past 10 years.

Rooney and Arteta are the only two for me. Lescott was a great bit of business.

Villa lost Downing, Young, Barry, Milner -- all in their pomp. That's a selling club.

However if we lose Baines and Fellaini we have become a selling club.

Selling club.. Who get a new regime in and it gets better.. I give you Saints. Walcott, Bale, Chamberlain.. All gone in last 10 years.
Chairman gets booted.. New owners.. Improvement all round and 3 promotions.
It's not pretty in the dark days, but a necessary evil ?
 
£28m Fellaini.

£22m Baines.

I'm not expecting that figure for Baines; I'm just saying that would be what it would take to force our hand IMO. Anything under that and he should stay.
 
£30m for Fellaini (as we paid about £17m for him and we'll have to pay a sell-on fee)

And I wouldn't sell Baines. My price is irrelevant as I'd only accept something beyond his worth to us, and no team will pay beyond his worth to them.

Yep this, didn't see this post before I typed, but basically this all day.

Every club will sell under the right conditions.

But for me a selling club is one that will sell a key player for anything other than beyond their worth. We've hardly ever done that. Our issue is that we never spend, not that we sell too much.
 
Might have been good for the accounts but breaking up the best Centre back partnership in England wasn't that clever.. We need to stop selling our best players.

Nearly every club in this country sell's there best players

Utd sold Ronaldo ffs
 
If I was in charge, I'd not even begin negotiating until they came in with £50m

Is that their true value? Possibly not. Fact is, it's the last 2 days of the window, we're not in a position where we have to sell, and after the insulting opening bid, I'd spite the horrible ginger [Poor language removed] for fun.

Totally different reasons. We have to sell so we can buy, United didn't/don't. So we will continue to sell our best players as we have no choice because our board cannot get us competing.
