See Danny Rose thread... some of our own fans are arguing that every player has a price.Great article. We are so close to achieving everything we've been dreaming of.
What I'm scared of most is what irreparable damage it could cause to my passion if we just see this picked to pieces by "bigger" clubs.
We're at such a pivotal moment, not just for us but for football in general. We either bound ahead to greatness and prove it can be done the right way. Surely giving hope to the rest of the teams below us (those that don't have money coming out of every orrifice)....Or we get pillaged by the wealthy elite and likely prove once and for all that football is about money and nothing more.
COYS!
I don't disagree with getting the highest price for a player who doesn't want to wear the shirt, but if we keep the players that Poch wants to keep (regardless of speculation or insane bids) then the squad has shown how young, hungry, together & close to winning trophies they are. Why break that up just because someone offers silly money to weaken us? I'm sure it will pay off the new ground more quickly but will we be able to fill it if we are fielding a team that cannot compete with the rest of the top 4 or 5 any more? We should not be giving in to anyone as far as any of our players are concerned, unless the player himself makes it obvious that he wants to go elsewhere.
