Tony rarely sells if he doesn't want to. I think Potter can sell Davy a new vision of what his job will be in the team and talk him into staying for another year.
You can’t dismiss pace though surely?
Otherwise, you might as well watch Serie A.
If you play a pass into a ‘hole’, you certainly can’t walk on to it.
Look at great strikers and wingers, they have explosive pace, there aren’t many who stroll and look brilliant (other than Pirlo or Jan Molby)

So, what's his value to us us we paid around 10m I think so maybe get 15-18m?
Plenty of great forwards with no real pace. Shearer, Berbatov, Totti, Toni, Raul, Kane, etc, etc. Nobody is 'dismissing' pace, but speed of thought is easily of equivalent importance.
Stat's point is valid. A player like Kazenga Lualua could be comfortably the fastest player in our side, and yet simultaneously the one most guilty of slowing down play.
We wouldn't even answer the phone until they reach £25m, IMO.

Messi doesn't, Ronaldinho didn't, neither did Riquelme and Murray certainly doesn't
Pace helps, but being quick upstairs is much more relevant.

I agree. I'd be furious if we let him go for less than that considering a) how good he is and can be, b) he's a Dutch international, c) he's had two years in this division and d) what the current market is like in terms of player valuations.

If he wants to go, which I imagine he will, he’ll be off imo. Shame as he was 100% NOT a CH player. I was looking forward to seeing him next season. Not impressed with our current known transfer rumour activity. A League One player in and a player good enough to play for one of the top teams in Europe out 
Must do better, I am wavering towards Potter OUT

Think that's what the sticking point will be.
Ajax are tight.
Their first choice is De Roon. Maybe we should get him if they sign propps.

(i think) Albion haven't sold a first choice player now since Ulloa - 5 long years ago.
What does that tell you about their desire and ability to keep hold of their best players ?

You jest... but it has some merit !.... very early days I know. But I would quite like us to be linked with a player over the age of 12 lol

Just mentioned on Radio - BHA expecting bid for Propper.
Would be a shame as he has been played out of position by CH for 2 seasons.
Propper off to a Club in the Champions League.
We are left with the one that likes to spend his time in Clubs.

I don't think that's how fans will see it. Fans don't like seeing us lose, so if we're passing the ball around, trying to attack, and then get beaten, fans will soon get fed up.
Up until Christmas, we were playing our standard solid style. It wasn't exciting, but we were getting results and the fans liked it. We then changed to a more attacking style and fans liked it at first, even though we lost. Losing soon got boring though. The fans will say it's our play style they got fed up with, but the truth is it was the losing.
