Thought you were starting a new version of “King Billy’s on the Wall” there.

We have Lundstram's replacement at the club.

Sterling. He's everything Lundstram should be.

If Sterling was half the player some posters make him out to be he would have cemented a position as his own by now. With time he may grow in to that player but we've seen too little of him to properly make that assessment. He's only had a handful of games at CM so far.

He’s been hamstrung by the fact that we don’t have a right sided attacker or a left back.

He’s been shoe-horned into those positions.

Sometimes but there are plenty of times recently he has been on the bench when those other positions have already had someone else starting. I like him and I would like to see how he does in the same position (probably CM) over a much longer run of games. Wild to be calling it now that he's definitely the answer to our centre mid problems when he's hardly played there though.

I would take whatever the money and run. We need to replace with winners and Tav and Goldson are no spring chickens any more. Sorry if that sounds harsh to some but that is the reality.

Like at Ross County.

A truly ridiculous decision by Clement.

Any money on offer for Butland, Tav and Goldson has to be taken. 

One I’d be concerned about is Sterling, his performances won’t have gone unoticed.

Can’t see anything but Butland being here for years

They’re recreating Goldson’s effort to cut out the cross against Frankfurt…

Why would you consider selling Butland?

it’s a mentality with some of our supporters- regarding selling our best players for cash instead of wanting to keep them for success - that is utterly bizarre 

 

needs binned it’s a shite attitude brought on by too many clowns playing Football Manager

The only way we'll improve the squad is by selling our best players and reinvesting the profits. It's not the 90s anymore.

Wait, improve the squad by selling our best players?

that’s a strange strategy 😂
 

then don’t moan when we are in a constant “rebuild” or we buy 5 players to find one decent one.

The alternative is we have a significantly reduced budget and we let players walk out the door at the end of their contract. A constant rebuild but without any money to finance it.

If we get a big offer for Butland he is gone. He's our biggest asset right now and like it or not we require significant funds for a rebuild.

Butland is not even a year into a four year deal. He is quite clearly a very good keeper who will play his part in bringing success to our club. 
 

Yet some supporters would sell him because the money could be reinvested. Maybe for a couple of Scott Wright’s and a Matondo?  
 

sorry, but better sticking than twisting

The club will sell him because the money can be reinvested. That's the truth of the matter.

Every player will have a price and it'll be well within reach of bang average teams in the top 5 leagues.

Obviously, no one’s suggesting using money from the sale of Butland to buy players of that calibre. But yes, unless someone with loads of money to burn buys the club, selling players at their highest/a high value needs to be part of our strategy.

Don’t moan then when we have no consistency about our club., we bring in 5 players to find out 1 is decent and the rest are shite and we are stuck with them. EXACTLY what we have now- too many Scott Wright’s not enough Jack Butland’s.

Doesn’t mean you as a supporter accepts that or wants it to happen, does it?

It means I understand the necessity of it. It's the same model used by big clubs in Holland and Portugal. Why would we be any different?

No one is buying Scott Wright. You don't tend to get many offers for shite players.

Selling players when they are at their highest ceiling is what this club has to be doing now, this isn't the 90s anymore. We are a stepping stone for players to bigger things and if we can make significant money on transfer like Butland who was a free then we are going to take it.

The club would be negligent if it didn't. We don't have a Sheik funding the running of the club, if we want to be self sufficient we need to be selling players at the right time.

Not the fans fault we spent our European money and Bassey money on utter shite. You can't judge future sales and purchases based on that, that's daft.
