“He is here as a commodity to sell. But it will most definitely not be to us”

Those were indeed my words Shads, I am not “in the know”. Just looking at predicting how the next few weeks could de-rail the progress based on our previous five, six or seven seasons transfer windows. I am no way knocking the players progress this season. Not a fan of Collins, but these players individually have all had good games bad games and some excellent ones. All worth something in some other clubs mixes.
The thing is, I am realistic, in that other clubs have assets playing with us i.e.
Mcatee, Mcart.
Jalo is a young ambitious man, Cole has a chance to play in the championship perhaps. Cadden isn’t getting passed to, nor a good run.

Perhaps pessimistic…l ( the club have done that to me…) but a scenario where we NEED financial input, and other clubs knowing our a.rses are out of our clarts could see a few more sold than some predict.

A great price for Cole or Styles would maybe avoid the other low price sales….But with some players probably wanting away at any price as well (Williams, Kane perhaps?) the club may have to sell more for cheper, than a couple at a high price
