Talk about a glass half empty take on it TBTA.
There was definitely interest as well.

There will have been several inquiries for Bissouma and all will have been firmly (and probably not even politely) declined. Ben White was THIS year’s balance sheet straightener. When Biss goes to Liverpool or City or United the numbers will dwarf White’s.
I suspect he will sign a new deal. His stock has risen massively since we signed him over three years ago so he will want wages to reflect this. He has seen that if the right offer comes that we won’t stand in his way and it is a gamble to run down a contract. Yes potentially he could earn more as a free agent but you are a bad injury from earning nothing. A new contract will suit both parties, I think.

If he signs a new contract we're in a great position with him. Stay and we have a fantastic player. Go and the BW sale has set the benchmark for an Albion player so we'll be wanting £50m plus for him.
I don't understand this. Having read many of the posts lamenting the lack of an incoming striker, surely if another club identifies Bissouma as a player they want, all they have to do is tell us and we are obligated just to let them have him on their Ts &Cs, whether he fancies going or not? Or is that just how it works for centre forwards?

I don’t think there’s a better on form midfielder in the PL than Biss. Another absolute exhibtion today. Having him in our side is like playing with a cheat mode on.
We’re so lucky to have him, he’s just irreplaceable to us, a totally unique, special player. Those who were willing to take £40 million for him look increasingly naive. He’s at least double that.
Need to make the most of watching every game he plays for us. We’re not going to see another player like him for a long time.

I posted that in September but there were certainly no reports of any bids, whereas this window there has been concrete interest from 3 clubs but all seem to have been put off by the fee we're demanding.

Gary Jacob of The Times seems to be under the impression that we have suddenly decided, a few days from the end of the transfer window, that we are willing to sell Bissouma for £50m. Which makes me fairly certain that we haven't.
Crap. If - and it's a big if (see [MENTION=10202]Not Andy Naylor[/MENTION] post above) - we sell Biss it's because TB et al think that now is the time to maximise the revenue from his sale. If we got £50m, that goes a long way towards making us sustainable, and shows that the model (buy young talent cheaply, develop and sell for top dollar to enable us to compete with wealthier Prem clubs) is working.
If you're going to piss your pants over this, you'd better buy some nappies. This won't be the last player we sell in this way. It's our model - it DOESN'T mean we are ambitious. It PROVES that we are.
