Where did I say that they don’t all have their price?

I very clearly stated that £3m was not the right price for Palmer in my opinion and in this thread I said that I thought it was the mass outcry of derision from our fans that had seen this sale called off!

I also stated that a bigger fee would see him walk!

I fail to see how you could find anything ambiguous or against your own views regarding player value in what I stated?
No picking here, you said if a bigger fee comes in he'll walk. I kind of said, if its to our advantage that's what should happen.

I suppose, I think some of our fans (not you, don't get defensive!) would never sell a player of ours if they were performing well on the pitch. But I think that's cost us in the past, we could have got far higher fees for Jonny Evans and Berahino off the top of my head for example.

We need to be smart with who we sell and for what price. We can't just say players are not for sale, regardless. We need to get top dollar for our assets, and we need to buy at bottom dollar. Its how to work the market and why teams like Brighton and Brentford have been so successful - and we haven't.
