[Albion] There is EVERY chance of SELLING someone today

[WATFORD zero]

I think this is more appropriate given our current situation than this particular long running and well loved thread

There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Sell, sell, sell them all.

Losses, you know.

wrong thread

Given the transfer window isn't yet open, I suggest you retire the thread for a couple of weeks. Then we can start really panicking

Seems appropriate again. Signing Buonanotte, suspect that is it; zero thread has no post since 28 Nov, which sort of says it all.

Sit back and wait for the gannets fight over Mac and Caicedo, and perhaps Trossard.

 

[Swansman]

My guess is that no one from the first team will be sold but that some fringe player might be loaned somewhere if first team player(s) are brought in.

Of course there's a slim chance that someone will put in a massive bid that just can't be denied but I think that, at this point, would take obscene amounts of cash.

Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen

 

[Live by the sea]

Unless the offer is impossible to turn down , none of our top players will leave in jan . Relax .

With the mix of Capitol's and lower case I thought Enrest was back

I so want to correct your spelling, but I'm sober and don't want to start a row

 

[SteveU]

Won’t take that big an offer to prise Trossard away given his contract situation.

Be gutted to lose any of them.

What situation would that be?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

On the one hand ....

We've had 150m ish in transfers in or compensation over the last 2 years and have only spent a fraction of that. We don't need the money so from that point of view can tell clubs to **** off

On the other hand ......

The way we're winning these fantastic young signings is that we're proving to them there's a pathway to PL football and we're getting them in the team far earlier than if they went to most other clubs. If we dig in too much, we risk becoming a less attractive to emerging talent and arguably holds back the next generation.

But on the first hand again ....

Recent history is replete with clubs who have been handily upper mid table for a year or two, then gone down when key players were sold and replacements didn't fire. Selling our best players dangerously takes for granted our continued PL status.

But on the other hand again ....

Contracts are running down. The model relies on us turning a profit. Selling when reputations are high worked for the Cucu transfer and could work similarly for our highly sought after stars.

In short, I have no idea what is best, but I think Tony will get it right

 

[SteveU]

What situation would that be?

Where he could leave for free in the summer. Unless I’ve missed him signing an extension?

Just seen we have an option to extend for another year but no confirmation that we’ve done that

Didn't stop the club from making massive losses. Not sure why people keep ignoring that.

I imagine that this would take some of the pressure off for the club and also were he to leave, he would attract a higher selling price.
