I really think if allahyar gets a uninjured run in the team this season we will see a great player

Hopefully, but I don't think he is a winger. If Rosie wants two wide wingers (which he was trying to do at the end of last season) we need someone in the middle to score half chances. I would like to see Allahyar through the middle with Oscar and Tetteh but cant see Rosie playing it.

Maybe it's as many as 5 or 6 because they would rather sell squad players instead of selling Oscar & Greaves?
As in, it would take 5 or 6 squad players to get near the money that would be gained from selling Oscar & Greaves?
That would fit also with Rosenior's comments about wanting to work with a smaller, tighter squad.
Wonder also if the 5 or 6 include the already departed T Smith, Elder, Pelkas and Figs?

It might include Figs but I would doubt it includes the other 3, especially Elder and Smith.

I read it as them just building the foundations for Greaves and Oscar to go and it’s a case of when rather than if.

If the fees are reinvested into the squad then I think people will be fine. It’s if Oscar/Greaves were to be sold and then the money isn’t were people would begin to question.

If we get offered silly money from a Saudi club for Óscar we should break their hand off. The Saudi clubs have already shown their hand by paying enormous amounts on transfer fees and wages and the fact they aren't subject to UEFA's FFP rules gives clubs selling to Saudi an advantage. A club in Saudi could realistically offer something as daft as £20 million for Óscar and we'd be stupid not to accept that money.

Saudi clubs haven't been spending stupid money on fees, just wages so I can't see us being offered daft money for Oscar.

I'm open to us pretty much selling anyone apart from probably Seri

No one, not even the Saudi's, are going to offer £20m for Oscar so it's a pointless scenario. We'd take £20m for any of our players because none of them are worth that much.

I think I'd sell Sinik, Tufan & Allahyar before Oscar and Greaves

Not sure the market is there for that. The point of being able to sell players for profit is that they have to actually be good enough to attract that kind of fee.

We'd probably be looking at getting our money back on the other 3, which defeats the object of selling for profit to reinvest and hopefully make more profit.

If this is a fair reflection of our financial situation, and not transfer gamesmanship from the owner, you can only conclude that we have been poorly managed in such a fundamental area.

Selling the squad players – fine. Selling Oscar/Ally for profit – (begrudgingly) fine too they are their signings from last season and it could be good business etc.

But if bringing in Sinik, Tufan, Woods et al. leads to selling a prized a local asset in Greaves just a year later, for a fee that may well end up below comparable market value, is surely terrible business. Which would be compounded further if that money was then squandered on a Sinik type gamble.

I’m a supporter of Acun and the board. But given the above, and the sale of another local asset in KLP for X millions already, concerns are fairly raised in reaction to Acun’s words in the article.

There's an FFP thread on this board because I was going on along similar lines last summer and people said I was being silly. :bandit:

Denying we were even close to an FFP issue and incinuating the chairman wasn't putting anything in himself was silly and still is as much as you try and change the narrative.

I don't care if we make a profit, I'm just worried we won't score enough goals.

Well there is that to consider. But no more or less than any other of our competitors at this level.

Do you cash in now whilst his stock is high and get 5-7m to replace him with or do we hope he scores 20 for us next season but leaves for a lot less in his final year?

There's no easy answer and it's not something the club can decide with hindsight.
