Agree! If we sell our players or not should should be a football decision, not a financial one. If Palmer (or anyone else) is deemed not good enough to be a part of the squad by Pep then sure, sell him. But if we get a "big" offer or not should however have no impact on that decision. We are not a selling club or in desperate need of money (as far as I know). What does selling Palmer allow us to do that we otherwise couldn't do? It looks like we are not even replacing him.
I understand most youth players wont make it here and I usually have nothing against us selling the likes of Trafford, Edozie, Borges, Bazunu, Doyle or even a big talent like Lavia. Selling Palmer I do however have a problem with us selling since he has shown enough to be a part of the squad and has all the tools to become a top player in this league, in my opinion. Our only goal scorer against both Arsenal and Sevilla as recently as last month and I had high hopes of him finally showing what he could do this season. I dont even think the fee is so amazing like some others here think, considering the current market there is a big chance a homegrown player like Palmer will be worth twice that in just a few months. Not happy at all with this one, but hey, at least our net spend is lower than Bournemouths again and thats apparently the most important thing.

I understand many others here dont seem to rate Palmer at all and since they think that they naturally have no problem with us selling him. Which is fine, it a forum and many people will have many different opinions about our players.
But I, and what looks like many others, do rate Palmer which means we naturally have a problem with us selling him. Will it impact our season massively that we sold him? Most likely not, but neither will the money we received for him. I would rather have kept him around for at least another year even if we would risk getting 15m or so less for him if it doesn't work out. Just my opinion :)

I think personally we are one attacking option light mate in fairness and it would be nice to make a deadline day signing but it seems unlikely unfortunately.

I think one more ‘top’ signing and we’d be in the situation where a top player would be not getting enough minutes or would be getting left out entirely. That could lead to another Cancelo or Phillips situation, so I can understand the desire to cap it here.
