30M is buttons these days by the way.
Depends how much a replacement would be though I suppose. We've got people on here saying getting £30m for a 29 year old is a no brainer, but we should pay £40m for Doucoure, who's 26. So in 3 years time he'll have depreciated in value by £10m using their own logic. That doesn't sound like good business to me.
Depends though what Doucoure gives you in the 3 seasons before he reaches 29 doesn't it.
Like I said, I reckon we will have a replacement lined up, probably cheaper and younger.
I don't think we would sell him if we didn't have anyone lined up (unless the soft gits really do pay 40/45m)

That Bournemouth Cm, an average one costed them £25m. £30m for our starting Cm is nothing these days.
Well it does from a football perspective yeah, but you were specifically talking about it being a business decision. As a business decision, spending a lot of money on someone who’s value immediately starts to decrease isn’t wise.
I agree that selling him for £30m and signing a good young replacement would make sense, we just need to stay away from the idea that the sale itself is automatically a sound business decision.

They won’t want him to pass, with the attackers they have they will just want someone to tackle and break up play, something he can do very well.
We expect him to do that and also the attacking play too.

Those raving about £30m, Tom Cleverley would cost £20M+ these days...

I must see a different game than everyone else. Once again he was immense against Bournemouth. Great tackling, interceptions. Loads of energy from first to last.
Oh, and his passing was really good.

To be fair its not like he is an unknown quantity in France seeing as he has played there at a high level before.

I honestly thought I was missing something, a joke I wasn't aware of.
Yes sorry if I didn't explain myself, I meant a business decision and football decision (based on having a replacement lined up)
Footballing decision wise it only works if there is a replacement lined up.

I don't think we can afford to sell him. He is vital to the way we play. Can't see anyone coming in and doing that job straight away unless they are already in the league and I can't see who. We actually need to be adding in his position. If we sell it has to be the summer and we bring two CMs in.
