There is a piece on the BBC, detailing six home-grown players, who could be sold this summer for pure profit, which is blatantly false.

They are: Conor Gallagher, Evan Ferguson, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jarrad Branthwaite, Jacob Ramsey and Rashford.

Each player is given a transfer fee valuation, and while most of them are reasonable, Rashford's is put at £85 million.

What a fucking joke.

There is no name attached to the piece, but it has all the hallmarks of Slimy Stone:

 
He’s a very good player when he’s not being a complete ****.

There’ll be no shortage of suitors.

Could see him rocking up at a bigger club like Villa or Spurs.
I'm not so sure he would be as mollycoddled at any other Prem club. The rags let him do whatever he wants and I can't see many clubs dancing to his particular tune.
The only other club that would indulge him would be...yep, the dippers.

I reckon Spurs will be all over him.

Him and Maddison would be a pretty naughty centre mid pairing.

The only way they’re getting 85m for that **** is if they buy him from themselves.

We will not be getting anywhere even close to those valuations mate, fact is we will be lucky if we can just get some of them off the wage bill with no fee changing hands. Some of them are either out of contract this summer or at the very most have only one year left, so it will be just a case of damage limitation with the vast majority of them. It’s the direct consequence of more than a decade of buying absolutely shite players, and then rewarding total wankers like Martial, Lindeloaf, Jones, Bailly, Shaw, Rojo and of course Gashy and others with massive new contracts, thus making it impossible to move them on.
I will be very pleasantly surprised if we can somehow bring in much more than 100 mill this summer, which as we all know is chump change nowadays.

Some may be optimistic true, but take Pellistri as an example: still very young and is doing the business for Granada, and would be a very good choice for a mid-table Spanish team. Given both of the above, think we can get 25m for him… I’d also not mind keeping him, so long as he keeps that show pony c*nt Antony out of the team.

Far more realistic valuations are,
Lindeloaf – 10 to 15m
AwB – 10 to 15m
Pellistri – 10m
Mejbri – 5 to 10m
Eriksen – Free
Forson – Free
VdB – Free

As for the rest, fuck knows but you have to remember just how bad we are at getting decent prices for any of our rejects, especially considering they will all have to take a pay cut unless they go to Saudi.

The overwhelming majority of today’s footballers are far too mercenary leave a club unless they think that the numbers stack up financially. You only have to look at Slabhead refusing to go to West Ham because we wouldn’t give him enough of a “golden goodbye” to leave.

It’s all about the big houses, flash cars and flying around in private jets for these fuckers nowadays, football comes a very distant second.
