The thing is though that if someone, let’s say Dessers just for the example, caught fire from now onwards and scored 20 goals between now and 31st January and dragged us back into the title race.
If the board then sold him to Ajax or whoever for €20m in the middle of a title race we would all lose our shit.
If they kept him until the end of the season the form might disappear/could get injured then you are back to square one.
I’m not blaming us as fans I’m just saying it’s not as easy to just sell players.
