If we are to sell CA, Phillips, Fer.....what's the point of taking them to the pre-season tour in Italy. It would make more sense if the likes of Harriman, Petrasso, Manning and Sutherland were taken instead. Pre-season is for the group of players to get to know each other, integrate, get fit and bond as a team. Then, before the season get under-way, we sell three or four of them. Am I missing something?

What if they indicate to a player they want him to go and so leave him at home but nobody comes in for him or at least meets our valuation? Then we are stuck with a high quality player who has no match fitness and hasnt done any of the tactics/team shape stuff in training. Every player has to be treated as if they are staying until they have agreed to go. Also once teams find out we have left someone high profile at home because we want rid they will offer less than his valuation as they know we are desperate to sell

Can understand the frustration though.
All this sort of stuff is quite easily overcome if the powers that be used a bit of common sense. Simply make sure that transfers need to happen by the end of June. The little darlings can all go off on their holidays after dealing with the important stuff first, rather than causing disruption for everyone else once they return.
*For those that like to make wrong assumptions, I am of course referring to footballers in general rather than any specific ones.

It doesn't work like that unfortunately. Imagine we left the three of them at home. Over night their transfer value would decrease as the buyer would no that the seller has admitted defeat.
In sure the club has had a chat with the players and stated the fee that they would need to receive for us to sell.
Sit back and enjoy the ride because if we keep them we will be right up there!!
