It's starting to look like a done deal.
If so and not for the first time by any means, I'm really questioning if supporting SAFC is worth the angst. This after over 65 years.
We get lucky.
We sign a very good player for a bargain price.
He is a SUCCESS in every way, being the main difference in our escaping relegation.
In fact he is just the sort of player we SHOULD be building a side round. The sort of side that Isn't in a perpetual relegation fight.
So we are looking to sell him for about £16mil, (That the figure on this site---

An £11mil profit, at least on paper. Less when the cost of a replacement is factored in.
A £100+mil loss if we go down.
To be honest the amount maters little, it's what such a move signifies that would bother me most.
It would show a complete lack of ambition.
Still, none of this has happened yet. It MAY just be Press speculation.
