    Because Rahic has been clear from day1 that he wants to bring in players, develop them and sell them on for a profit. As he’s in the last 12mths of his contract, and no sign yet of him signing another, Rahic would be stupid not to sell him.

    He isn't going to sign a new contract(can't blame him) and has 12 mouths left.

    So, we would be foolish not to sell him.

    There is more to selling players than it making sense for the selling club.

    How about we wait for an offer before deciding if we should sell?

    Typical nonsense.

    We don't have to make it public knowledge that we are open to offers for Charlie, his agent will have got the message out to interested clubs without doubt.

    I'll be quite honest, like many I think your football nous is quite shite, I'm not really arsed whatever you say about my thoughts because the day you agree with me I'd have to seriously question myself.

    Who would buy him? I imagine we would want at least 100/200k to recoup some of what we paid so has his form been good enough to warrant that sort of fee?

    I agree with the ethos of your post bit if the worst that's happened is that we've let Dieng go then why would anyone really care about that?

    The Reeves comment is about as accurate as you're likely to find.

    The fact you feel you need to defend everything claret and Amber doesn't change the fact that he was largely shite and barring injuries he still didn't get picked.

    For a struggling side, that paid money for his services it pretty much screams, you're talking sh1t.

    Do I think Wyke has improved from when we signed him? Yes.
    Do I think his record in L1 is decent? Yes
    Do I think he’s worth more than £100k/£200k? Yes
    Do I think his form as a striker has been good since Christmas? No
    Do I think his form over 18mths warrants a 7-figure sum (or thereabouts)? Yes

    Would be nice to think we were a nursery club (if we have to be) for one of the big boys
    Genuine question when was the last time we sold a first team player to a club in the premiership

    Premier league clubs as a rule don't buy players from the lower leagues, its too big a risk to take. They usually go to the division above like Wells did when he moved to Huddersfield. Hence when we look for value for money our best bet is to look in league 2 and below. Look at Jack Marriott at Peterborough ( i seem to mention them a lot0. Leading scorer in the division and plenty of interest from other clubs. But all those clubs are championship clubs looking for that elusive goal scorer. The premiership clubs are looking for the ready made article and have the TV money to fund it. They cannot afford to blood potential, the financial rewards on offer dictate that. Thats why they loan out their youngsters to the championship and league 1.
