C) I think some clever replacements, if the money gets reinvested, could provide us with more options than ulloa gave us.
Just my opinion though.
I Understand what your saying though BW.
Your probably right, but for 7M I'd be selling. I wasn't particularly Impressed with some of his performances at the back end of last season and I think that 7M is a great price to get for him.
Do I think he can be replaced, absolutely. Who with? I don't know.
Not sure I completely agree about the key position. Were no Barcelona but they played without a striker for a long while and did reasonably well.
The goalkeeper is vitally important IMO.
We are all talking hypothetically here and I haven't the first clue if Leo is unhappy or not, I haven't claimed to either.
I am just working through a possible scenario which could very well happen assuming we hold out for top dollar.
There wer enumerous games Barnes could have played last year for burnley but he was on the bench. Cant see him now being favoured with the step up to the prem.
You don't seem to have made any allowance for the Player himself, who perhaps, may become very unhappy if he doesn't get his move, if he's desperate to play in the premier league.
Would you like an unhappy player playing for us?
Yes, that's the valuation the club has put on him, I believe.
Good luck to them if they can get that, but if it plays out anything like the Bridcutt saga then you could get lumbered with an unhappy player and no money at all. This is the worst possible scenario IMO.
I couldn't believe it either....... Would have snapped their arm off.
As another poster pointed out, if that money is invested directly back into the team then you could have 3/4 quality championship players.
