Fingers crossed AEK meet our valuation very soon.

Tell the Greeks to keep the money. I just want to see Dessers kissing the badge, and tripping over the ball, in a pre-season friendly.

Players are cattle. Some need to be sent to market so we can afford new ones and maintain the rest. You cant always grow your own as we well know. Fans need to realise the game has changed. Random Moroccans and Belgians have no affinity with the club or the support. Its a job with a stepping stone to a another, better paid job.

We've screamed for a player trading model that works. That requires detaching any 'emotion' we may have to any / all players. If the model works, we recieve £xxM for 3 players, that's then used to buy 6 players and the cycle continues and the risk reduces. Each player has a price and if that price is Mey, we sell and move on. It's the only way can work.

I think we got the best of him a tremendous player.

Maybe you could use that to bring in newer players.

Maybe, but fairly sure £40m would soften the blow in the board's eyes

That was when we were higher up in the food chain. We could cherry pick the best stuff. We are now surviving off scraps.

It would be, but in the real world those are unrealistic numbers, IMO. A year ago, I remember the likes of Stevie Clifford talking about 7 or 8 million for Tav and Goldson 😂

Remember the days when following a football club was all about the football. A couple of new players. Pre season games in the likes of Inverness and Stavanger. A weekend tournament at Ibrox. Now you need at least an accounts 'O level' to count and balance the millions that might come in or out. Sad

Would leave us short on numbers going into CL qualifiers too though

And a 20% sell on clause

Selling Igamane, Raskin and Dessers for £40-50m would be terrific business.

Now is the perfect time to sell him. He will be 31 later this year and have 1 year of his contract left next summer. Getting our money back after 2 good years of Dessers is smart. We have to trust our recruitment process or there is no point in recruiting.
