Of course. But you seem to be suggesting that selling Dembele is justifiable if we receive a reasonable fee. I'm saying fuck the transfer fee. we should not be selling one of our best remaining midfielders.

It would make more sense to sell him and buy someone else - than not play him and lose him on a free transfer.
That said, I would prefer he stays and plays enough games to make him happy to sign a new contract - but it isn't up to me.
wouldn't say no. We need a thug in midfield.
And if Carrick wants to come back is more than welcome.
I can't see it. But yes. Fellaini would be a good signing. In my opinion.
Fuck Carrick. That's a backward step of huge proportions. It's the kind of signing you'd expect of a club like West Ham or Sunderlandwouldn't say no. We need a thug in midfield.

i think that he's still a very good player
Is the answer to that question not obvious? We've seen what clubs who don't look after that shit become. Being consistently the 5th best team in the country whilst improving the entire infrastructure of the club is the sign of a good chairman. In the long run, you'll all see it too.
He's a right old cunt alright.. But then he'd be our cunt:adebaehug:
Oh here we go....we don't want to do a Leeds right?
Fuck me, for someone who is so interested in the money side of the game you clearly haven't been keeping up.
Christ on a bike, Levy must love the likes of you. Luckily most sensible people have come round.
I think what your saying is that if we don't follow the Greek austerity measures he referred to then we could do a Leeds or Portsmouth. Hmmm..
That doesn't tell the full picture though.
He was 2nd or 3rd choice. If Madrid could have got Soldado in his prime for a low price to play back up striker they most likely would have gone for that too. But as it's been seen Soldado isn't good enough for us. There are plenty of title/silverware winning rotational players who aren't good enough for teams aspiring to be in the top 4.
Madrid are also a hub of creativity, where a player like Hernandez can do okay. We're not there yet.
Is it? Is it really? I wouldn't mind the odd trophy to go with those stellar 5th finishes - and improving the infrastructure of something that ENIC own? Well dey would do dat wouldn't dey?
Its full of Apologist Dickheads .
Cambiasso would be a better punt than either Carrick or Fellatio IMO. An abundance of top
Level experience all round Europe. A top drawer (if old) midfielder who would help in training the young bloods & could do a good job for us. Potentially as valuable as any big price signing if it helps the youngsters become established in the midfield. We need experience. I make no secret that I was desperate for MS but I'm sure he's in it for himself rather than helping develop players on the training pitch. The one huge advantage of a player who's been there & done it all is that they can impart their experience to the younger lads. They remain the big fish in the pond but less likely to try & eat the rest. And with one eye on life after a playing career, it's not bad to have on your CV that you were instrumental in building a special team. Idealistic bollocks I know, but maybe there are players out there who want to share their experience & that younger players would like to work alongside to improve their game.

Infrastructure.....true, but the reality for an investment company is it is about (sale) value.
As for the long run, how many years since they bought us? Another 3+ until we're in the new stadium, then it will be settling in and paying it off for an excuse for a few years. A 20+ year plan, fuck me there's being patient and then there's being blindly optimistic no matter what.
The reality is that after that patience ENIC will have increased their asset from £30-50m up to probably £750m+. THEIR patience and investment will be rewarded for certain with cold hard cash. Their ROI is guaranteed it's just a case him many £hundreds of millions. The % probability of our rewards in titles and achievement after this 20+ years is much much lower.
