I don't see how the post you replied to was predicting the future, it was stating the facts.I appreciate that mate, but you can never predict the future. He could easily end up with a long term injury or just a complete dip in form.
If you had told me that we would get no money for Alfie when he was at his peak I'd have thought you were mental.
We need to start making serious profit on players on a regular basis.
No we didn't. It was confirmed as a £5m offerWe rejected more in January.
Ultimately, we don’t need a Jack Butland to win the league and a good fee would go a long way. However, I’d be wanting more than £10m. Think it’s one of those where he’s more valuable to us, than what he’s actually worth to other teams.
If it was take or leave it, then I’d probably take it.
Can you please explain why we don't need a player that saves us 5,6,7 points a season?We rejected more in January.

Are there no other goalkeepers out there?Can you please explain why we don't need a player that saves us 5,6,7 points a season?

Is he really our most sellable asset?We do but we also need a lot of money to fix other areas of the team. No point keeping Butland and then moaning we can't do anything about other areas of the pitch.
Ideally Butland stays but he's our most sellable asset so he needs to go.
Interested to know who you think we could command more for, after him it’s probably Yilmaz and we aren’t getting £10m for him.Is he really our most sellable asset?
Selling the duds is far harder than someone in the form of his life and would generate less funds.We’ve got a great keeper. Why would we want to sell him. Sell or move on all the duds and free up wages.
Because they’re retards to put it bluntly. Their inability to see what’s right in front of their face isn’t my concern. In a market where Fabio silva is worth 35m an in demand Jack Butland is easily worth 20.But I’m just asking the simple point, if you expect clubs to pay £20 million for him why didn’t the same clubs buy him when he was free?
Is he really our most sellable asset?
And even if he is, he doesn't need to go.
Depends what market we are selling to.Who else we getting £10m+ for ?
Depends what market we are selling to.
DS is making 10m+ anywhere
JT and CG could be around 10 m to Saudi
There is a difference between profitable and sellable.Interested to know who you think we could command more for, after him it’s probably Yilmaz and we aren’t getting £10m for him.
Ah yes, resorting to name calling of someone you don't even know.Fair play if you think we were his only or most attractive offer, a rare win for our scouting department, I suppose.
Or you're also a moron who can't put up a counter argument
What Kev says.I voted “No” purely as I think he’s worth at least double that if an EPL side want to come looking for him.
The Lille president was on radio saying that they offered €17m I’m sure.I think if we were truly offended £16 million for Moreles he would have been sold in a heartbeat
As much as we love our players, if we want to be sustainable and buy players, we are going to have to sell. I'm torn over Butlins tho as he's someone we can build a spine with
Playing in the SL is a hinderence thigh, the scum sold Van Dijk and Frimpong for £24 million combined. A couple of years later the were valued at nearly over £120 million
The league we play in dictates the value, just like Sweden, Denmark and even Holland to a certain extent
Rumours are that Newcastle are looking at getting Ramsdale for about £15 million. If there's any truth in that then there's no way we'll get more than £10 million for Butland I'm afraid.£20 million would put him just outside the top 10 most expensive goalkeepers in history. He's playing in the SPL, that's absolute dreaming. Especially when he's played in the EPL for years, his age and we got him for free a year ago
There's absolutely no chance we would get offered £20 million. Realistically £10 million would be a massive offer
Because selling Scott Wright and releasing Lundstram aren't going to fund a rebuild.We’ve got a great keeper. Why would we want to sell him. Sell or move on all the duds and free up wages.
