In this day and age though Pass, I dont think any of our 'best' player sales will really match up to what they are worth to us.
Especially when we replace them with an unknown cheapo!.

Soz SB, I clicked on Edit rather than reply with quote. Its hard to write messages on this phone!!.
Anyway where was I... oohh yess... Boom boom, Basil Brush is still alive and well I see.
Going back to a previous comment though, I dont think we ever get a 'good enough' price for our top players. Compared to teams like Brentford & Peterbrough for example, who always come out of it better than they started financially.

Ok I'll let you off on that one SB lol.
Pass suggested that Brentford gave us good money for Pinnock. But my idea is that we never get what the players are worth, especially when you look at the modern day over inflated transfer market.
McAntony at Peterbrough is a moron, but hes got a sound head when it comes to finances and selling his Peterbrough players for a ridiculous profit. It always bugs me that we seem to accept offers way too easily because they 'sound' good.

You have to bear in mind most of the players who Peterborough have sold for good money were forwards .
Forwards attract premium rates .

Yes maybe your right Animal, after all 'goals win games' dont they!.
Who on here will look back now and say we sold Ashley Ward 'cheaply' to Blackburn in 1998, for 4.5 Mill ?.
And dont even get me started eh on what we tribunally-sold Trevor Aylott to Millwall for, back in 1982.
Btw, does anybody want to join in on my thread with the Rotherham fans ?.
