El Abd improved immeasurably under Poyet. In fact, he represents everything Poyet did for this club. AEA had been a total liability under Adams and yet within 3 games Poyet labelled him the best defender at the club - to the total bemusement of most of our fans. It turned out he was right...
IMO, he's got to be worth more than £2m to us.
But we now have Ulloa, CMS, Hoskins and Barnes all fit I presume (perhaps CMS is a month or two away?). The only striker I'd ringfence from sale is Ulloa, but Barnes has served us well and I'd be gutted to lose him.
