HYPOTHETICAL - Chinese club come in with £25m bid for Knocky this window - SELL or KEEP?

[Thunder Bolt]

Doubt you'll find many Palace fans round these parts nowadays...

There have been a few posting in the last few days. Check the lights thread, and the Sammy Lee thread for starters.

It's not my money. Ask Tony.

On FM Sell, in the real world keep

 

[Stat Brother]

Are you asking ME?

(i.e. in the hypothetical question, am I answering as a fan of the club, or AS the club?)

Because PERSONALLY I get a lot more enjoyment from watching Knockaert play football, than I would from seeing a different number on an accounts sheet. So, no.

A statement echoed by Mr Bloom, while in Bristol.

Keep, but if the 'Chinese' offered him silly money, which they would, then he understandably would be off like a bullet out of a gun! (But it's not going to happen, this season at least!)

 

[OzMike]

Sell with a loan-back clause for the rest of this season.

This, don't forget it is a business and regardless of who the player is, the wages will be huge and their head could be 'turned'.
We don't want that again, so make hay as they say.
That could buy a few decent players.

£25m for Knocky is a derisory offer

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

*i did not read the whole thread*

I would keep Knocky.

**** China and it's boom and bust football model.

£25m for Knocky is a derisory offer

Would buy Cairney and Hogan and go a long way towards Ince and Hughes
