True. I still would hesitate to sell at that price. He's symbolic.

Err, we've just bought a player for £28 million.
And, err, slag Kenwright off all you want, but he sets out the budget, and then leaves it up to the manager to stay within budget, and make ALL decisions on transfers.
If you look at the recent list of mega transfers:
Rodriguez - £63m
Torres - £50m
Cavani - £55m
Luiz - £50m
Kaka - £56m
Di Maria - £59m
Suarez - £70m
Bale - £86m
He's nowhere near the level that any of those players were when sold. The exceptions being Luiz and Torres. The former was a deal done to make Thiago Silva happy and the latter was Abramovich being a nutter.
£44m for a player of his current ability and admittedly big potential is a deal Kenwright wouldn't turn down.

It's not that far-fetched, considering he could do a Rooney and play for a top team until 2024.
That's why it looks like we got ripped off with the Rooney sale, his transfer fee has basically cost Man Utd, £2.5 million per season.

Ross' injury really set the tone for our season didn't it

I'm fairly sure kenwright had some imput in the Rooney and arteta sales due to needing the cash.

Has he left yet ?
If you believe that then fair enough. You're wrong though.
Imagine if a team offered £100m for Barkley and Martinez said 'nah, you're alright', that Kenwright would say 'okay Bobby no worries'. Wouldn't happen.

With all due respect, you're clueless. The key reason why Lukaku isn't looking anything like the player he was last season is because he doesn't have Ross Barkley feeding him. End of.
Barkley being absent from our team this season has seen his value shoot up not down.
You can't replace a Ross Barkley, as Martinez has said multiple times.

Don't agree. Would happen, because Kenwright wouldn't risk Martinez walking.
The board aren't going to sell any player without the managers' consent.And the manager has repeatedly said he doesn't want to sell him, and the players signed a lengthy new contract AND repeatedly said how much he loves Everton and wants to stay at Everton, and how Everton are the only team he wants to play for.
And there is also no need to sell because of the improved financial picture at the club.
Your mindset is stuck in circa 2004.

This is the problem with Brennan and his slightly abrasive style. I love him and he's right, Barkley isn't worth 44m yet, but he could be a little bit more gentle about it.

I agree with Brenndan, to be honest. Selling Barkley for 40 or 50 million would go a long way to securing a new stadium, although that is something which seems a long way off at the moment, but I don't think Kenwright would hesitate in selling him if such an offer came in.
City do have FFP limitations, but I don't think it is far fetched to think they would spend it all on Barkley, and they are net spend limitations, so they can spend more than 50 million with the money they receive from player sales, and Toure and Nastasic might be on their way, and they would both be sold for a lot of money. City certainly aren't panicking about FFP.
The thing is though, I'm sure I read in the paper today that the next TV deal is likely to be far bigger than the most recent massive one. I'm sure it said that a televised game will see clubs receive 7 million pounds per game. That's probably 7 million split between two, but that's still massive. And it's why we need to keep the likes of Barkley (big names make us more attractive to TV companies) and it's why we need to continue investing in other big name players.
