    I’d bite their hands off for that right now

    If we get to reinvest some of the cash, then £30m would be a no brainer.

    They're not going to sell him for 30m.

    If we got any hopes of getting promoted, Sarr has to stay. Unless a ready made replacement is ready to come in this month who is as good if not better, there is no point selling him at this time.

    Hmm, I’d take it if we brought in 3-4 quality young signings from Championship & League One.

    Armstrong, Sibley, Osayi-Samuel, Dack, Brereton. That kinda mould.

    He cost £40m, I doubt we'll be doing that.

    Did he actually? Seen fees of £27m to £40m quoted, with a £5m payment apparently due if we stayed up, so I doubt it was £40m

    We'll never get anywhere near £40m for him ever again, perhaps not even £30m now

    Is Zinckernagel his replacement? I mean, I'm sure it's not like a deal is imminent, but they can both play in the same positions, so you do the maths...

    Let’s say we get £30m+ and are able to re-invest it on 2-4 quality players who come into the team in other positions. Who are the £10m+ players who are interested in moving to us right now? That, for me, is the key question.

    Armstrong seems a reasonable suggestion. Someone like Jed Wallace too. Both would be £10-15m I would imagine. The Sun says we’ve been tracking Ilias Chair who is young and having a breakout season, but he’d probably cost around £10m. Maybe we can hoover some good championship talent from mid-table sides but can’t see exciting expensive players from abroad joining us at the moment.

    Hogg-DEENEY!!! Squad Player

    Doubt we'd actually get to spend much of that money, if any, but if we can get a good striker and midfielder out of Sarr, and possibly another winger (though I would suspect Zinckernagel would be that guy) then we'll have done alright out of it. Big if though...

    Not sure he is a replacement as he can play in a number of positions.

    All pointless as I don’t trust Gino to do it.

    If we’re not going to bring in the forward and midfielder needed to get promoted, then sell Sarr now as we will not be getting promoted.

    If we stay in this division his value is only going to drop.

    As said above, selling for £30m and paying off £15m loans while spending £10-15m on a striker and a holding midfielder would make perfect sense.

    Fully expect that money not to be reinvested if he does leave though, hence I’m against it.

    Exactly if we were going to re-invest some of the money I would be happy for Sarr to leave for a good fee but let's be honest we won't spend any money and will more than likely be sent a couple of misfits over from Udinese. If we sell Sarr we will not make the playoffs.
     
  21. LeedsOrn

    LeedsOrn Reservist

    If we’re to invest £15m in 2-3 players (maybe another winger too), who could we realistically bring in who would clearly improve us in those positions sufficiently to make selling Sarr worthwhile?
     
  22. Hairyfrog

    If they sell Sarr, they won't invest a penny of that money.

    They also reported that they want Armstrong and Josh King as well. Blackburn asking for 30 million for Adam Armstrong.

    One way or the other it ends up at £40m. Which is why we wanted £50m in the summer.

    A totally different player to play in a completely different position, adds up for sure.

    The cash will go to paying off debt to ensure survival when the prem parachute payments stop. We won’t be spending it. You can’t operate a business model that assumes we either get promoted or we go bust. We have to ensure we can cover costs and loans if we don’t go up despite the drop in tv monies from £120m(?) to £20m(?) over 3 years alongside zero gate receipts.

    Again he wont go for 30m and as the Hammers fans are saying they're not going to be spending that either.

    Unless we get what we paid for him, there's no point selling in January.

    Best to keep him until the Summer and see which division we are in.

    Looks a player horribly short on confidence. Hopefully Munoz is the man to install some confidence in him. We all know what he's capable of. He's a shadow of a player that gave VVD nightmares 11 months ago! Either low confidence or no will! Let's hope it's the former.....

    Putting my tinfoil, gurning-simpleton, non-evidential hat on, I have some vain hope that it might be Zinckernagel's arrival that sort of provides a shining and direct example of a player not afraid to express themselves and give it both 'a go' and 'as much as they possibly can' time and time again.

    Sarr definitely seems like someone who needs a mentor to look up to and follow the example of, and they have been in very short supply around here; particularly for the kind of play he should be regularly involved in.

    A lesser burden combined with a greater illustration might just help him cast off some of those mental shackles and fly (up the wing).

    If we have plans to buy a decent striker this month, keep. If not, sell.

    Selling Sarr seems popular if we can bolster the squad with some of the money, but I guess we have to be wary of FFP.?
    I assume Sarr is on lowish money, so say he's on 32k and we bought in 3 more decent squad members, they might want 20k each and so immediately our payroll is bumped up nearly double of Sarr's pay.
    Not sure that's an issue right now but I guess salaries are as much an issue as transfer fees in this division?
