Bayern interested in Gary for 60 mill. Not enough. Don't sell.

At this time, don't sell for £160M.

Spose that's what a majority of mid table clubs have to do. Sell to improve. 80 would get us a good replacement and decent striker.

I'd take 80.

Agree with Aus - if we have the chance to double our money I think we would take it.

Have the replacement lined up and confirmed before we sell him, and indeed two or three others. Don't want other clubs knowing we would be flush. They can speculate we might be but if we buy after selling they'd know it.

£80m would be a good price. £100m if its a Prem team. You don't 'want' to sell these players but if we do it means we've had a terrific season and that player's had a good season.

£80m buys a replacement, buys the replacement/upgrade on Nmecha. Maybe a little change.

In the long term we don't want to be a selling club but at the moment we have to take a pragmatic view until we get fully established in the Premier League.
We have a fairly solid defence but if we get an enormous fee for Gary all the previous posters are right that we can get a good replacement and a good striker and maybe have a bit left over to improve our squad ratio figures.

I'd be sorry to see him go but think that JR, Elvedi, etc can step up.

I said above, "at this time, don't sell for £160M", the crucial words there being "at this time" meaning the next window in January. If at the end of the season we get an offer of say £70M+, then that's different, but NOT mid season.

I don't know. £160m is obviously hyperbole. But if its a case of getting over £100m (which would be a record for a defender) in Jan vs. £80m in the summer. I think I'd do it provided

We weren't in a title challenge (wishful thinking) . Weren't realistically going to make Champions League. Didn't have an outrageous injury problem at the back. Weren't in relegation, and so far away from it selling our best defender couldn't see us getting dragged into it.

The January market is notorious for desperate buyers and inflated prices. If we were stable enough to sell safely in line with inflated prices then I'd do it. Im not automatically against selling in Jan subject to the conditions above, but the price would reflect its Jan.

Yes mpy £160M comment was just hyperbole, but if we didn't have an injury problem at the back in January, or weren't at risk of being drawn into a relegation dogfight, that wouldn't mean that either of those things couldn't happen in Feb after the window had closed and there were still 15 games to play. I repeat I would not willingly sell at that time at any price.

The only circumstances that would make me sell would be if the players head had been turned by an offer, and he was throwing his toys out of the pram at it being refused, and even then I'd demand a humungous price. Summer window when the season is over, different.
