Didn't want to be in the business of selling my best players, especially to rivals, but we've gone off the boil over the last few games losing 3 on the bounce in the league (albeit two of against Liverpool and City), then a draw against Arsenal and then a 4-0 win over Carslise in the FA cup, so not all doom and gloom but off the boil from my impressive start (down to 8th). Baines has been doing well 7.18 rating, 2 goals, 2 motm, 10 assists so he could be missed but I'm also losing £2.5m a month and I'm £8m in the red and with europe not guarenteed the money could help me clear some debt and reshape for a final push in the league.

I would say no but it's a good offer and if he becomes unhappy and requests a transfer I'll eventually have to let him go for less. No way, as Bilbao you'll find it very hard finding players the quality of Muniain. Also long term I think you'll find that you have more than enough money coming in for what will probably be limited transfer activity. In my Bilbao game it wouldve taken more than double that for me to sell him, though I do have to say £80,000 does seem a very high wage, would he not accept any less than that? Either way still don't sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the money I could buy some very good players but I've only had him for just over half a season and I'd love to see what he could do in a full season.

SRL88 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Personally I would want more money for him if you are going to sell. If he is your best player then he must be worth in the £7m region. I would hold out for a bit longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had originally set his asking price to £10M, mainly to defer people from making an offer for him but you're right, I probably would want something closer to that. He has a £5M release clause to higher division clubs in his contract which is a worry but so far Fulham's wasn't up to that and Valencia don't count as they're foreign.
