If that's what you were saying I agree! Whatever sale we make won't be 'forced', it'll be part of the development plan Trouble is that we're not very good at selling yet.

Well, out of that list there's only one we're above in the league.
As for the relegated teams you mention, if you're claiming our recruitment is much better than those ... well it probably is, but whilst we're perched precariously above the drop zone, the jury is still out. When we're in the position of a Southampton or Leceister, i'll agree with you

Anyway, this thread is about Caicedo. I just find the idea that we can sell Bissouma and either Caicedo or Moder will be able to do what he does for our next season is fanciful.
Lamptey coming through and smashing it in the first season is very rare. Being able to sell a Chilwell and pick up Catagne and bring through Justin, rare as well.
We'd need to find equivalent quality who can produce instantly. A few clubs manage it. Ajax and Dortmund do it very well. We're just not at that level with our recruitment.

I agree, unlikely to sell in January....in fact we never seem to actually sell players. We buy players then loan them out when we don’t want or need them.

Very difficult to find clubs willing and able to pay a transfer fee and take on a Premier League wage bill. We'll be heavily subsiding all the loaned players wages.
Thats what we need to learn to do, sell players. It is what will make us sustainable.

I agree that we shouldn’t accept noddy bids at all but think it would actually be a positive to sell certain at bug profit to bring in stronger options where we need them (strikers). Bissouma for £50m or even possibly 40 end of season would make great sense when you have Molumby, Moder, and now possibly Moses who will all able to play that role. Use some of that money toward a striker. Likewise If we get anything north of £40m for White when we have so many young (and experienced) cb’s waiting to get a chance.
If it’s an offer too good to turn down, I’d be ok selling.
Ultimately I trust the club. They won’t accept derisory offers that’s for sure.

Barber stated very clearly at the start of the season we would not be paying £25m for a striker so it is very clear transfer policy has to change given the amount spent on several players who have not performed to expectation.
Every single club is a selling club. It is just if the offer is right. If someone offered Man City 20 billion for Kevin de b then they would take it. Obviously it won’t happen but it shows that everyone has a price. If someone offered us 100 million for bissouma then we would take it.

Absolutely this. Take every case on its merits. If Leeds had offered us £100,000,000 for Ben White, he’d probably be wearing a white shirt these days. £25m was laughable.
