    Is it? I don't know. HIAG will be able to tell us once he's googled it.

    So did Walker, so the story goes like this:

    Walker- 'Hey, gaffer, wtf, why didnt you pick me for the cup semi?'

    Poch- 'right, **** off, you're not playing for the rest of the season'

    Barkley better think about this **** before he rocks up, thick meathead kant.

    Southampton made Schneiderlin wait until they were ready to sell. United refused to sell Rooney. It's doable.

    Retail for sure. Residential? Around there? Not sure right now.

    All profit in the PL is easy right now. Inflation is rampant. But, if an easy profit was the only aim, they'd have sold before now. Not gone through the daunting task of bringing the new stadium on stream.

    Only if you have the resources to happily lose a large sum of money. The player will not give of his best, will depreciate in value due to age and poor performances.

    Apart from being bloody minded, where's the percentage in that?

    The only similar thing I can think that Levy did was to ensure Bale went abroad. Reportedly, you lot offered more than Real, but Levy refused to sell to you?

    Don't believe that. He's sold enough to us in the past, don't think he'd suddenly become precious about that.

    Remember that time Berbatov was going to United for 28 million so Levy offered him to City for 26?

    He sold Carrick and Berbatov to you. Both of whom put in written transfer requests.

    Berbatov was another who went on strike to force a move.

    So you only sell players that want to leave then, which is what most other clubs do.

    It looks that way to me, I assume most of your players are happy. Alderweireld looks like he wants a better contract or a move, but apart from him it looks like the rest are happy. If they become unhappy, then you'll sell. Like Walker.

    I don't see any other complication to this, it's more or less straightforward unless you have multiple bidders.
