Manager Michael Laudrup says Swansea City would have "no problem" selling their best players over the summer. Michu, Ashley Williams and Michel Vorm have emerged as potential targets for some of Europe's biggest clubs. Joe Allen, Scott Sinclair and Danny Graham have been sold for a combined total of £28m during Laudrup's reign. And the Swans boss said: "You can't keep too many players against their will. There can be many reasons when it can be difficult to say no [to a bid]." Laudrup, though, insisted there would be no mass exodus from the Liberty Stadium and stressed that some players will only be sold if it benefits the club. "If we have three or four regulars saying they have the possibility to join a bigger club and want to go, we can't allow that," he said. "But there might be one case." Laudrup used the £15m sale of Allen to Liverpool as the perfect example of an offer that was too good to turn down. "He's a very good player, but £15m... when I heard those figures I couldn't believe it," said Laudrup. "A case like Joe Allen you have to say 'what do we gain by keeping him here if he really wants to go, the money is good and what would we do with that [transfer] money?' "I think it has been a good deal for Swansea. Joe is a very good player but we got Jonathan de Guzman, who has already scored eight goals and playing the same position. "We did well there. You can't always do that, but it's a balance."
Funnily enough Mr Laudrup I've been thinking exactly the same as this: "A case like Joe Allen you have to say 'what do we gain by keeping him here'" ​
Feel free to quote me: he's **** average and will never be a first team regular on merit, only by managerial preference If someone offered us 8-10mill, I'd bite their hand off.
I remember how well Allen played before shoulder-gate. Suarez aside he was our best player the first few months... I wouldn't write him off yet.
