Yes but biggest problem in what you are saying, those 7,8,10m players will become more like 9,10 &12 when those clubs learn that we have just sold our top player for 25m
Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (45 Viewers)
- Thread starter AFCCOVENTRY
- Start date
In exactly the same way that £20m Jack Rudoni turns in £25m Jack Rudoni when Southampton sell Dibling or Fernandes.
So what ? We can then afford it.

Great business sense!
If you want inflated prices for your own players you have to accept paying them too.

I don’t want any fee for Rudoni. I want him to stay. We shouldn’t be replacing until we already have his replacement at the club
If we bank the £20m and don’t reinvest it because prices are a little inflated @Ccfcisparks will be one of the first to criticise the club for doing it ….

I won't be happy, especially as it means MVE won't likely to be sold, meaning we've spunk splashed 4 million on a back up right back. Would be a joke of a transfer window.
In an ideal world I agree a bit like we have with MVE but the world isn’t ideal and football isn’t any different …
You’re never happy Pete to be fair.

If we bank the £20m at this stage of the window I’ll be critical of the club before we’ve signed anyone
Hopefully back in the real world Doug King isn’t so risk averse that he’d turn down a ridiculous bid for one of our players just because it might upset the fans for a bit, or because we haven’t already spent millions that we don’t have on a replacement.

It’s just reality for like 90% of clubs in this country? I think Frank knows he’s not at Chelsea anymore - £20 million to spend on what is already a very good Championship squad would help him get over it.

All this oxygen being wasted on whether Rudoni is leaving, well he's not leaving, well not this season anyway.

I mean, we went from 5th and a penalty kick away from PL to 9th. So id say so yeah. All the FA cup did was gloss over what was a pretty dissapointing season in all honesty.
Also, we didnt sell him to a direct competitor for a promotion spot. We didnt strengthen another team in our league by selling him!

King has already had an opportunity to sell, but he hasn't.

We also didnt have 3 years on Hamers contract. We either sold then, or he left on a free! Completely different scenario to selling Rudoni to another championship club.

It is, but people keep mentioning Hamer due to how late he was sold.

More cracking insight from Andy Turner in his CCFC transfer state of play. Should've just been a one-line article:
"Here is what real journalists are reporting, I don't know what's happening."
"Here is what real journalists are reporting, I don't know what's happening."
It’s also risk averse to turn down a silly amount of money because you’re worried that a bunch of guys wearing Rudoni pyjamas on the Facebook forum might be upset about it for a bit.
Or because you don’t trust the people you’ve hired to identify players you can sign, develop and sell for a profit to do the same job again.

If a player valuation is met then they will be subject to being sold by the club.
The club at all times have player targets in each position for every scenario be it replacement for 1st team starter to back up for the squad.
If Rudoni is sold at an acceptable price and we have his replacement lined up then it’s all go from us.
Most big player transfers are held up because the selling club wants the replacement lined up.

Replacement! Now who would that be, it would cost us more than 20 million to replace Rudoni.

People *really* need to relax on AT. He arguably has the tightest access there is to the clubs transfers. If he wants to keep getting access, he's not going to do anything to compromise the trust and relationship with the club - and even potentially transfers themselves.
As soon as other media report stuff its fair game! But he is not going to be breaking any stories in that way.
The fact DK wants leaks shut down reinforces that imperative. AT would be a moron if he did anything but.

I’m not though am I - I’ve essentially said:
Rudi is good but not as good as Gyokeres was (now at Arsenal) or Hamer (POTS last year)
His actual impact on games in open play isn’t huge and he likes to go missing (PO semis).
If we sell him for £15-20m, it’s good business and will actually allow the squad to get stronger in the long term like Vik/Gus sales did.
I don’t think any of those points are outlandish or “revisionist pish”

Doug is not a stupid man, selling your best player to a rival adds millions onto a player value, as the risk out weights the money generated.
Now, if Jack and Milan are kicking down Dougs door wanting out then that's different. But if they want to give it 1 more year to try to get promoted, just put the phone down and work on adding quality to these 2 players and the likes of Southampton will be not in any conversation.

He might not be, but if we were to sell him, it would have to be for a greatly inflated fee.
That's the point. You don't sell at true value when you aren't looking to sell.

Yes but on the flip side - we can’t price ourselves out of selling our players otherwise our whole setup doesn’t work. It’s easy to say, keep him for a year and he’ll be worth the same next summer - but we’ve seen examples of that not being the case (Sheaf/Simms).

It assumes the value was actually there for Simms and Sheaf in the summer of 2024. There were tenuous links but as far as we know, nothing materialised.
Just as Brighton and Newcastle were tenuously linked to Bassette… there was never an opportunity to cash in.

It would never have been the intention to sell Rudoni after a single season.
I doubt there is any desire or requirement to sell him at the moment, therefore, it would take silly money to get him.
The model might revolve around selling players for a profit, but it will always be selling them on our terms.
