I bet some Liverpool fans said that when they sold Coutinho. They improved the team with Van Dijk and Allison using that money.

Plenty of clubs have been successful using this method. I wouldn't bat an eyelid if we got good money for Dan and then reinvested it in the playing squad. Its what I expect to happen.

Bit different though. 20 year old lad first season playing 1st team football he could and highly likely will improve a great deal over the next 5 - 7 years. If that improvement is with us we will get more than 3 million.

Liverpool also have had this knack of selling players at their peak with a downward spiral after leaving, ideal scenario.

I wouldn't take 3 million for him. I totally agree with you and everybody else on that.

I hope it would need to be an offer that we are unlikely to get.

3 million is probably realistic for a team to offer from their perspective for him now, but shouldn't be enough for us due to his potential.

What we need to do is have him and Evans swap shirts for the rest of the season. Before you know it, PL teams will be falling over themselves to offer big money for our captain "Corry Evans"

Lookman went for 11 million out of this league. That would be my starting point, tbh.

No problem with us selling players if that is the model we are working from but I'd like it to be only when teams are willing to pay over the odds for our players.

It's the offer of a club that looks and sees another club, who for a few years have taken the first bid for any player at all.

If such a bid is made , and we accept it, , ( although I very much doubt we would mind), then we are in nowhere near as good a position as we'd all hoped and expected

Yes. That's the thing. If we end up selling players, it should be when we control the sale, not the scavenging agents or opportunistic clubs, looking to make a buck themselves

There’s a difference: Coutinho wanted to leave, and when that happens there’s very little you can do apart from get the best price you can.

If Dan Neil wants to leave, get the best price we can, if not keep him and add to the team around him.

Liverpool totally controlled that sale mind. They got an enormous fee and other conditions on future deals between the clubs. In short they took Barca to the cleaners.

It's true that players move all the time, but a club in good shape controls the sale of their players.

We are going around in circles now, mate.

No player is ever bigger than the club. If a club offers a deal that's too good to turn down then we need to accept it and reinvest wisely. The club needs comes before what Dan or any other player wants.

dan neil only looks good as he has an excellent team around him, no idea why other clubs would be 'sniffing around him' like err hmmm and his feet are on the wrong way round, no idea how he made it past the medics if i was at another club i would tell them not to bother ...like.

You've got a very good eye for a player, Samwise! PL clubs would do well to listen to your informed and accurate assessment.

Call people what you want… But, as a site mod, bringing up Lee camp crosses a line which can’t be uncrossed. But I’ll let you off with a warning this time!!!

I reckon keepers in the championship relegated us. Something like 30 points given away by horrendous keeping errors!!

At least he didn't mention Steele as well..........oops!!

If we sell Dan in January it will be a ridiculous decision, we will get nobody anywhere near as good to replace him therefore massively weakening our side for the sake of cashing in. Makes no sense selling him now !
For the record I don’t think we will sell him, especially for 3 million

He’s off to Villa imo. Fingers crossed they loan him back for the rest of the season.
