Sadiki to Chelsea (internet chat)

Why?? That would be fkin stupid when we were offered the amount that we sold him for, I’m not saying there aren’t fluctuations in valuations, only that when one presents itself as a markup and you have earmarked a better replacement plus money in the bank, you’d be foolish to turn that down

and teams will offer more than 35m for sadiki, so why would we sell for that? You're talking shite mate.

Probably sell Sadiki for 65m and sign Arthur Avom Ebong on a free

Honestly, that would be excellent business. A 450% profit for starters. We could move Le Fee back central and have Avom as a young back up rotating in when needed but bedding in for the following year and we'd have the financial headroom to go and get a couple of top class players to kick on again.

That's the sad reality of being successful for you, the so called "bigger boys" coming in for your players.

As much as Chelsea are bigger if he doesn’t hit the ground running he will just be another in a long line of players on the bench or even out of the match squad. I’d stay here another year if he improves I really think bigger clubs will want him.

The concern is because we are now aiming to do that at the top level. And a bad transfer window for 80% of the PL is a potential relegation battle.

Naturally first season up without real depth and having not replicated what you suggest yet at this level people are naturally going to be a bit nervous about potential sales of top players.

It'll probably be harder to achieve what we've done before at the top level, for various reasons. Succession planning and spending more will likely have to happen more, which also means bigger gambles.

Look at forest or the mags, mags even more so. Went from cup winners, champions league. They fucked about all window trying to keep the rat then panic bought and now look miles away with every so called better player wanting out in the summer.

Complete and utter rubbish.

So we should sell Roefs for 20m? Give your head a wobble man

Where have I said we should sell anyone?

Tell everyone the truth now- before we signed Roefs had you even heard of him…. I’m guessing NO!

So does that mean we can’t find a replacement if the money we get is right for us. Ie a profit and a replacement plus money in the bank.

This isn’t a charity it’s a business and we have a model and a good model at that

Him and roefs would be better staying one more year. That’s not me with red n white glasses they are only going to improve and their trajectory is upwards. Football is littered with players who shine and jumped clubs too early and never fulfilled their potential. If and it’s a big if we get European football staying makes even more sense. I’m not daft we ain’t their last stop but football is all about timing. On the other side they may pick up a bad injury and a move to a top club never happens. I’d hate to see either go to a “bigger” club struggle and not be the player they could potentially be.

Of course we can find a replacement. But that doesn't mean you sell him for £20m, just because its 100% profit... when hes worth double that easily to give even more money to reinvest and improve.

I can't get my head around the nonsense you're peddling. Nobody is saying don't sell, but you're selling for ridiculously low prices.

You don’t seriously believe we are going to chuck 150 million quid about every summer without selling players do you?

It is absolutely nailed on we will sell this summer.

Edit. I’ve seen your response to the post about selling sadiki for 35 million

We don’t need too, we will if we sell a couple of key players. The club seem to have ambitions to move up of course that will come with selling one or two but arguably next season is the real test. Lose a few of our star performers don’t replace and strengthen and the shit hits the fan very quickly see spurs West Ham etc.
