Would you be willing to sell a big name to reinvest?

[penev10]

I'd probably be happy enough to let Barkley go for say £35m+, just dont see him having the brain of a top player (you can vault me when he's Player of the Year!) I doubt anyone would offer more than £20m for him though.

Stones is far from the finished article but is still irreplaceable. Could see United or City offer £30m for him but would hope to hang on.

Lukaku would be another tough one to replace. Obviously bids would have to start at £35m (seeing how we payed £28m for him) so can't see anyone coming in with that money. I'd still stick with him.

Wouldn't sell McCarthy either. Arsenal would be an obvous suitor and would probably low-ball us for £20m. Doubt we'd get more than £25m tbh.

I'd like us to get one more season out of this stock of players, that would give us all a chance to see what Bobby is made of. Always difficult to know how much faith to put in the media, but Stones is the biggest concern for me.

 

[Pienaar'sdisciple]

Only player I'd consider selling is mirallas.

 

[The Equaliser]

If we sell any of Stones/McCarthy/Barkley/Lukaku we are on a road to nowhere.

But every player has his price.

If we get to the 31st August and they are all still at the club I will be very pleased. If someone else needs to be sold to bring in a better replacement I could live with that.

 

[Neiler]

Only if they turn queg and rattle for a move.

Only player I would be right to sell is Mirallas I honestly don't think he'll re sign, I'd rather play it safe, get a good few for him then sign someone of the same standard.

We couldnt sign someone of the same standard for the money we'd get for him

We'd have trouble unloading Barkley for over 15M methinks so it makes sense to hold on to him. Rom no (unless a crazy offer comes around and he forces his hand), in todays striker market even someone like Gomis would go for 15M. I also don't think we'll see a offer for Mirallas over 9M given his age, injury history and his own Mirallassness.

Might as well keep them all, the youngs and olds will get the summer off and no Europa so we'll see.

What a load of troffle

 

[Hellerad]

Bilyaletdinov and Stracualursi were pretty big names.

The squad these days seems to average 6-7 letters.

 

[Rook]

What a load of troffle

yes because 27 year old wingers who are regularly permainjured, start 1/2 their matches for a mediocre 10th placed side and are going into their last year of their contract go for 15M all the time.

 

[royvernon39]

No need to sell our best players. EFC has lots of TV money and a wonderful,
far-sighted and generous Board.

 

[SingBlue]

How about we get the board to invest a bob or two!

 

[TX Bill]

I'll always say this but unless it's for STUPID MONEY, then I wouldn't sell. What's stupid money you ask?

35M for Barkley
50M for Stones
2M for Kone

Otherwise, keep 'em and build the team up.

 

[hktoffee]

No. We can sell fringe players but not those who are first on the team sheet.

 

[zirc]

Can we sell a couple board members to fund transfers
