Should be telling clubs he isnt for sale and build the team around players like him
Sadly this "project" is essentially making us a feeder club for Premier League teams

We haven't sold anyone yet.
It must said that it's only made us a better football team so far. Significantly less shite than whatever model it was we were following before.
I think you'll find that he does in fact know everything, certainty appeared that way based upon his postings on here.

If their first effort is 9 million it's at the point where you'd tell them not to bother coming back tbh.

Feeder clubs don't get 10s of million pounds for their players which is then reinvested to strengthem/secure the club mid term.

We dont need a "model" just a common sense approach to transfers

Others have mentioned it but just based on other similar aged players moving to the championship the bids start from £20m

They'll try and go with the addons.
If I was SAFC I'd just say... "This is the price we want and this is sell on fee, take it or leave it".
TBH, I would much rather we kept him, to matter how much is offered, but big money talks.
The Situation
Striker
Or more accurately - first bid, unsettle the player and get him to start pushing for a move.
Brentford sold 4 or 5 players for massive fees to PL clubs, whilst in the championship and yet kicked on, got promoted and have consolidated up there. I would have some doubs that the game plan is to just become a feeder club.

Has to be about 20M+ before even considering it imo as would imagine spurs have a good sell on clause

Build a team around players like him to what end? We can't compete with top teams without selling players and reinvesting. That is the Dortmund model whilst competing with Bayern, and it's the current Brentford and Brighton models whilst challenging for Europe. It's tried, tested, and evidently works when people with competence are involved.
Players aren't assets with an infinite lifetime either, they have contracts, natural goals, and peaks - it's down to the club to have the confidence and intelligence to know when to sign and sell players based around those factors.
