157m profit over the last 2 seasons, excluding huge transfer income from Caicedo and Sanchez, and loads of PL teams strugling to meet FFP limits says we aren't selling anyone this summer that we don't want to.
[Albion] Kaoru Mitoma [27/2/24 - possibly out for the rest of the season]

I think he is going nowhere in the this or the New Year window, unless someone is prepared to spend stupid money, which no one has, and if they do have silly money, they would take into account a re sale worth and more than likely that will diminish.
I can see him going next summer perhaps if he regains his form after being out for so long.

I hadn't actually clicked on the photo. I'm surprised anyone gives tweets like that the time of day.

Yep just listened to that. If a deal for Mitoma to Arsenal is on the cards then Paul Barber certainly doesnt know about it, and given that in that same interview he talks about how he's more involved in outgoing deals recently then it pretty conclusively shows that the mentioned rumour on this thread is a load of bollocks.

He’s 27 next month which will influence when he is ripe to sell.
His value will start diminishing from the peak it probably currently is at.
I hope he stays.

Chelsea bought a recovering Lavia in the Summer and he's only managed 30 minutes of playing time this season, and is currently out after suffering another set back. Definitely makes for a risky acquisition.
Back problems can also be persistent and difficult sometimes impossible to completely get rid off

Agreed unless they want to go, of course.
Think we may get a bit tougher on this front. Mitoma is also not the type to kick off. I reckon we will tell him he needs to do one more seasonAgreed unless they want to go, of course.

I'd like to think we hold all the cards but I'm not so sure. We'll see.

What cards? We're not one of the better payers, don't have European football.
We do have a contract though. Let's hope there's no 'release mechanism'
I do agree, but I also just don't think he's the type of player that can manage two games a week - so if a team in the CL wants him, he'll need to be rested in the PL.

Yep for me he stays. But he is definitely going next summer. It's against our model to turn down a 50-75 million pound profit. At 28, with both that in mind and the player getting a big pay day, next summer feels like the optimum time.
Most possession teams play slower than we do (or did) and dont need their wingers back tracking as much as ours need to would run less if he played for one of the biggest

They’ll only want to go if another club is prepared to pay them significantly more. In the current climate we’re likely to be very competitive on that front, particularly as Mitoma has just signed a new deal and is probably one of our highest earners.Agreed unless they want to go, of course.

By cards I meant he’s under contract and we have no need to sell. The only slight doubt I have is if he wants out but doubt that very much. As others have said he looks and sounds very respectful and indeed honourable but he has shown how single minded he can be by finishing Uni before his football career. He’s definitely different!
Exactly. Even if he wants out , tough ! He's just signed a contract. We will only sell for crazy money.
