Jozzy
Player Valuation: £10m
A very, very good post mate.Right chaps this is what we have done in the last 5/6 years selling wise
Lescott - Dug our heels after citys original 16 million offer, dragged on through the summer (which didnt help us) but eventualy got 27 million for him
Rodwell - Footballer with plenty of talent but no product or drive, injury prone and apart from the odd glimpse struggled to get into our first team, we got 15 million for him
Baines - About 6 transfer windows in a row united wanted him. Derisory bids even a double one of 24 million for him and fellaini we laughed off. United ended up bidding more and we still said no
Fellaini - Along with previous bid with Baines got rejected sold a couple of weeks later for 27 million as well as getting him to place a transfer request (no money for fellaini). 27 million despite a month earlier had a buy out clause of 24 million
We even got good money for Anichebe & Jelavic
Still people think the board will crumble and sell Stones under what they value him at. If their is one thing the board are great at is getting money via transfers or even getting them to stay a little longer or staying completely.
If he goes it will be for silly money or he will stay, players have come and gone before john stones and it will happen again.
