Petit
Player Valuation: £30m
yeh it boggles the mind, but then again 25m in 2004 is what, 75m now?
Nah, not really. I got the same feeling when we sold Rooney for 28 mil that I would if we sold someone for say 45 mil today.

He signed him at the same time and sold him the following Jan. Was am exciting summer , hence why I remember. We also loaned rodrigo that summer and he injured himself for the season
Good luck finding a bird who'll let you. You do mean bawl, right?
I was against this one at first, but the more I think about it, the need to get some leadership into this squad from somewhere (let's face it, Phil "I'll Tie My Shoelaces On The Halfway Line And Hopefully This Situation Will Go Away" Jagielka is currently our captain; says it all) so that our mentality begins to turn around.
Christ mate when you look at the other players we are after - Martins Indi and Bolasie, then Williams looks like he will be the statement and marquee signing we will make this summer
There will be no statement of intent signing this summer. We need to just accept that and move on.
The hope now is that we make a few intelligent buys and gradually improve instead, to the point where - if Moshiri actually has the money to fund us properly and isn't Kenwright MkII - we become an attractive overall package to players.
Yobo was bought in the summer of 2002, Kröldrup in the summer of 2005 along with Neville, van der Meyde and Simon Davies. Don´t believe me check it out.
Question then becomes - we hav e genuinely accpeted the sale of Stones as neccesary in order to increase the wage structure at the club, BUt as it currently stands we won't get close to raising it by the amount we will be able to, so why are we selling him for really?
Because he wants to leave. He wanted to leave last summer, was told it was too late, and nothing has changed in his mindset.
If he was committed to staying after last summer, he'd have signed a new contract around Christmas. He didn't. As such, there's never been much doubt in my mind that Stones was going.
We´re selling him to generate money for transfer fees and wages. Some of it will probably go to pay Koeman.

Is that what you say, bawl, don´t think I´ve written it before today. Cheers.
