Are we close to p&s limits?

If so I’d prefer to sell then get a deduction or embargo just at a time when we can start to invest in the team

We don't need to sell.
What if our investors want their money back? 😂
Can’t believe that’s not been mentioned and we’re on the 4th page of this ridiculousness 😂

Some very rude and offensive posts towards me here and I won't hesitate to report in future, personal insults are not needed.

I'm just trying to understand the situation of we sell JJ as I know clever accounting can work in the club's favour.

If players hold us to ransom on wages then we have to move on from those targets. It seems more realistic we target 3 new players from the sale.

Regarding investors, I would understand them getting nervous given the disastrous Rooney period and I hope and pray they don't all pull the plug at once.

Who has been rude and offensive to you or thrown personal insults?

Calling me a clown and telling me to get a life.

I just want to talk Blues with fellow fans and I'm starting to feel quite unwelcome on this site.

Anything under £25M and it shows a lack of ambition to me.

This. We start at 20m at the negotiation table.

I’ve got a safety whistle for when I’m on here and pepper spray. I’ll lend you some if you like

👍 that’s good, well then it’s got to be right price really re James. I’d only have sold him if we had to, but I’d want the going rate

The 4.5m rumoured bid is low

I’d still set him for 8m plus add ons. Perhaps a loan back is an option too

Atalanta want him for their squad.

Like others have said, £10m is probably about fair.

we paid over 6 mil for Sunjic a few years ago, 10 mil seems massively below for a young international lighting up the championship

Say he goes for £6 million, we have to be spending £24 million on players over 4 year contracts. No excuses or owners taking the money back out to pay investors.

We could get 4 top championship players for that and it'd transform us. The positions we should invest are goalkeeper, centre half, central midfield and striker.

You can do but it's not a realistic starting point.

Bacuna has four goals and five assists to James 6 goals and no assists. He was a nominal fee.

You can get players with the money who are effective.

Always has been about smart recruitment. Money does help but it’s not always necessary to spend it like it’s going out of fashion.

Just underlines what a disaster the Redknapp spree was. Wonder who benefited most from that

At the moment it isn’t but it may not be in the summer if he keeps it up.

I absolutely detest Redknapp and even I'm not sure he's totally to blame for that.
