Even Percy Tau got one.

or he could be offered a 300% increase in wages and off he goes.
Yup, not sure he would have under the old system.

If the best offer that comes in is genuinely no more than 35 million, we’re better off keeping him for his final two years as it would mean two more years of PL income.

I am also of the opinion that this clearly has a long way to go and the conclusion is not set in stone. The current impact on finances for the biggest clubs might mean their interest is reliant on very complicated deals which may/may not appeal to TB. The idea of selling the assets has to be to generate the cash and therefore sell-on clauses, complicated fee structuring may not suit what we want or need. Selling more fringe players may achieve the same short-term financial goals for us .

£40 million because other clubs haven't got the money in a depressed market? Well they can come back next year when they have got the money, he only has one year left on his contract and that will probably be about his value. Right now, i wouldn't even entertain bids under £60 million.
That depressed market wont stop players like Haaland, Mbappe and Kane being sold for much higher fees than Bissouma.
I said before, players like Bissouma are generational talents, i honestly rate him amongst the best in Europe, and he still has plenty of time to improve.
Name the players in Bissoumas position who are comparable to him or maybe slightly better, then ask how much it would cost to buy them? Declan Rice? Wilfried Ndidi? Ngola Kante? Any of them being touted around for under £60 million?

Lacazette anyone? The way he finished that chance at the Amex suggests he has a lot left to give.

Agree with this.
A lot of deals where the headline figure is £35m fans in fact it's £10m up front, £10 in a year, 10m the year after and £5m if they play 100 games. (this is as good a reason as any not to sell to Palace)
We're in a strong position. Any proposal like this, TB can tell them to lick his balls. If they want the player, it's up front cash or he'll stay with us

Yes. It's what he's worth to us that matters not what he's worth to someone else.
All the time a PL clubs get £100m+ for staying up, it will never be worth a bottom half club selling. Zaha is too good for Palace, Grealish is too good for Villa. St Maximan is too good for Newcastle. Bissouma is too good for us. In none of these cases does it make good business sense to sell. It turns the risk of relegation from around 4-1 to 2-1.
We may choose to accept that risk, but we need to be compensated for it. That puts his value to us at about £60m I reckon

Lies, damn lies and statistics eh?!
Ayling 3400 minutes played, Bissouma 3114. So tackles per minute Biss comes out on top - although I wouldn't be surprised if both were beaten by somebody on that stat.
The stat that has been going round which the OP will surely be alluding to is that no other player in the Premier league has both 100 tackles and 60 interceptions this season. Good player this Bissouma.

We SHOULD NOT sell Bissouma. Build our (top 10 ambition) team around him. Caicedo may be his heir apparent but he’s only 19.

I think its a win win what ever happens. He stays with us and gets better, or goes for an massive fee which will be invested in the club.
I just don't feel he will go, but my feelings have been known to be wrong before.
Another day another metric Biss leads the way in:-
With a further nod to the boy March.

I'm very much in the camp of:-
Take the money.
Enjoy watching Biss progress further.
Expect the replacement (Moder) to seamlessly step up.
Carry on as before.
I'm being a bit of a ninny aren't I?
Biss is borderline generational greatness and is going to leave a mahoooosive, almost unfillable, hole isn't he?
