Well given the superb financial business the club has done over the summer, not only getting rid of dead wood overpaid players, but generating many millions in sales, plus getting a new squad for next to nothing, no doubt on far more realistic wages due to our well publicised financial issues, we must be in a far better state with regards to FFP etc. With that in mind I would expect there's far less pressure on us to accept any old price for players to generate some money as may have been the case in the recent past. We should therefore be able to push back any insultingly low bids and only decide to sell if it's an offer we'd be stupid not to take, rather than accepting a low bid because we really don't have a choice.
Also the ridiculous price bar for championship players has gone through the roof this summer with strikers and even defenders going for £20m+!. That's now the benchmark so if we were to sell one of the hottest young prospects in the Championship to a prem side, it should be for an equally inflated figure, especially as so young because if they were to improve over the next few years in a similar fashion, any prem side who bought them would be commanding £50m if others came knocking.
