Who knows...but I fear without that cash Injection we would never have been able to strengthen the squad...we were in a bad mess on and off the pitch at the time.I for one am glad we didnt gamble on the potential of a 17/18 yr old kid to keep us up.
Barkleys situation is totally different now, we are now in a much better position & no longer a club that has to sell (although the media would have us think differently)

You do realise Rooney was sold on the last day of the window with no time to get reinforcements, and we managed to finish 4th.

Beattie was his replacement In January.
 
Barkley, stones, jagielka and baines in the England squad. They are not doing so bad playing for 'plucky' little everton. Why on earth he would want to go to that graveyard of young british talent (city) is beyond me. There are only 2 reasons Ross would be sold. Bill needing money for the new stadium and more worryingly his agent stands to make a lot of money should he go in a big money move.

It's a leap of some description, but not sure it's a huge one. So you think Everton would consider selling for 50 million, or at least Gray does. Does that mean the price has now been set and a 50 million bid gets him?

Don't let Ed Woodward hear that. ;)

No worries about Man Utd coming in for him, for a start Ed isn't speaking to us after we embarrassed him over Fellaini/Baines :) Also think Kenwright is still seething over Ferguson tapping up Moyes and writing in his biography during the Rooney negotiations Kenwright cried and put his mum on the phone to berate him.

I've no idea what price we would consider selling him at, depends if we get the investors for the new stadium that @bizzaro is confident we will. A new stadium is essential if we hope to compete financially in the future - as you are finding out even billionaire backers don't mean as much in these days of FFP. And unfortunately nobody looks likely to just give us a stadium like Man City/West Ham.

I'm certain it won't be for a figure in the 30m range though, you've just paid that for a 23yr old CB with no league experience that was kept out of the French team by Sakho!
