Originally posted by Tarbie View PostThis is true, but that on it's own is not a reason to ignore what makes good business sense. In the past we've missed numerous golden opportunities to sell players at their highest value, and have ended up losing them a season later for a fraction of what we could have had. Given the tight purse strings we are operating with at the moment, we can't afford to do it with Smithies.
Plus if we did get relegated (like most are saying we already are) with Smithies in the team, his value would decrease.My old man never said be a Chelsea fan...

Originally posted by Cjskinz View PostVery true. Still annoyed about the Austin situation and gambling on promotion with him in the team. We could have got £10m ish more if we sold him in the summer I think?

Ain't just Austin though, we could have sold Taarabt to PSG for upwards 15m quid the summer after our promotion. Yeah, the fans wouldn't have been happy, but having read Warnock's autobiography and understanding the level of unprofessionalism that Taarabt was operating with, we should have took the money and run.
Going back before that, we absolutely had our pants pulled down on Trevor Sinclair. Sold him a season earlier and it would have been a very different story.Last edited by Tarbie; 20-07-2017, 01:59 PM.

Originally posted by Tarbie View PostNot sure that's true. I think most thought he was worth more than the highest bid we'd received for him. Nobody wanted to see him go for as little as he did a few months later though.

Originally posted by klonk View Postnot so sure about some of that... i think taarabt to psg fell apart as soon as psg met up with him and saw how he was - i'm sure tango and cash would have happily pocketed whatever they could hae for him. also, i'm not sure austin would have gone to leicester in any case - think he wanted somewhere london and south from that, established prem club (yes, leicester ended up winning the league... but more-or-less everyone thought they'd be in a relegation scrap).
You might have a point on Adel. I'm sure that Austin deal would have happened though, if we'd told him we wanted him to go. Chaz could have been a Premier League winner if it had.......imagine that!

As for Adel to PSG, Christ, his agent did spout a lot of sh1t, but that move was never on.
