New buyer puts house on market in 6 months and gets what it's worth 300k.
Happy with the deal??
Good business?
The window still isn't closed and it opens again in Jan and yes we may not have found another buyer but we've also kissed away a large amount of money and we haven't signed the three players we need to in order to fill the positions that Semi covered.
We've also reaffirmed our place in the market as easy pickings which will influence future dealings.
Brentford have just sold Maupay for 20m.
Bristol City have just sold a CH for 20m
If you're a Brentford Bristol or Barnsley no one leaves on the cheap.
It's no good our club saying it and then not doing it
