ponsaelius Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 a. Bojan was poor last season and I'm not sure he's all he's made out to be. b. I rate Santon higher than Cissokho, certainly in terms of potential anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Cissokho was mainly as an example, I just meant if rather than chase another striker we got another good left-back, would people take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Unless it was a clear upgrade no, and I doubt there's a clear upgrade to be found for a price we should be willing to pay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGupter Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 And of course, the Ibra and Eto'o calamity. Getting rid of Eto'o was one of the best things Barca ever did, unfortunately they replaced him with a no mark in Zlatan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Eto'o overrated? Anyway as for the question no i wouldnt swap Santon for the possibility of Cissokho and Bojan. I'd rather keep Santon and move on to other targets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I think Santon is going to be one of our best players this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I think Santon is going to be one of our best players this season. Definitely, he's going to be a world class full back in a few years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 We'd have to be mental to sell / swap Santon. If he was looking to go then we need to secore the best deal possible, but aside from that definately not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Wouldn't sell him, not even for £15m. He such a talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Wouldn't sell him, not even for £15m. He such a talent. Steady on. He looked promising last year especially in the spring but his market value is nowhere near that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I'd argue Tiote's market value isn't 20m either, but we wouldn't sell him for anything less than that. What is market value and what isn't is of no interest to us and nor should it be, if we sell we are trying to rip off clubs as much as possible and rightly so.

Shak Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Cissokho and Santon seem like similar sort of prospects. All the raw materials are there for them to be top class full backs, but fulfilling that potential is another story. Wouldn't want Santon leaving though, he was in decent form towards he end of last season and should be first choice to start the season this year, I'd be optimistic about his form this year. Would be intrigued by Bojan though, could play anywhere across the front three and is still young with scope to improve. Kind of player we should be after IMO.

ATB Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 What is market value anyway? For me it is about how much the club, that owns the player, is valuing the player. Then, if it is a big interest, they maybe can squeeze a little bit more money from the buying club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is market value and what isn't is of no interest to us and nor should it be, if we sell we are trying to rip off clubs as much as possible and rightly so. Just because he said £15m it doesn't mean he expects a team will come in with that offer for him. That's the point, he wouldn't even if they did come in for what would be a relatively obscene amount. And I'm inclined to agree. More than worth sticking with Santon. He's still young, obviously not there yet, but clearly has the potential to be a top player down the line.

He looked promising last year especially in the spring but his market value is nowhere near that. I didn't say his market value is 15 though. His potential though is enormous in my opinion. If he can find consistency and perform to the very high level we know he's capable of we'll have some player at our books. Wouldn't surprise me to see him move for around that sum in the future, honestly. We often forget how young he actually is, myself included. But it could go the other way if he never fullfills the talent he's got. But in my eyes he's a special player and one who hopefully can stay at our club for years to come.

ATB Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 You would be plain stupid to sell Santon now. In a few years you would easily be able to sell him close to £15m, as Ikon is saying, as he is just a real class act. Ashley knows this, so I can sleep happily.

wormy Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Who are we kidding, really? It's Ashley. He'll bite their hand off if someone comes in with an £8m offer. Trouser the £3m. It's all about the profit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about the profit. have you been reading at all? If he sells now for £8m he would make a £3m profit -but- if he sells in two years for £12m he would make a £7m profit. What is the best option? Ashley hasn´t been a multi-millionaire with doing quick business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
