There are sensible points in the post — EUR18m is a decent offer on paper and any club has to weigh up income versus continuity. But the blunt truth is this: if we allow a dozen first team departures in one window, we risk undoing a season's work. To be fair, some players will move on, but how many is the question.
The sell-on dilemma
You can see why board and staff might want to cash in. Transfer income steadies the books and gives scope to refresh the squad. Equally, a huge turnover brings instability. New signings need time to bed in, and the league doesn't wait. If Dio, Raskin, Gassama and Manny are all let go, plus Moore, Olsen, Meghoma, Cornelius and Aarons, that's a lot of experience and squad depth walking out at once.
Who should stay for continuity?
Names like Tav and Manny keep coming up. If Tav doesn't sign a new deal, keeping him for another year would make sense — continuity in the spine matters. Same with certain youngsters who are on the cusp; you can always sell next summer or in January at a push, but their development matters now. We need a healthy balance between sensible sales and players who provide stability.
What the window should look like
Realistically, pick a few sales that make financial sense and then stop. Don't let urgency create a conveyor belt. Strengthen where it truly matters rather than replacing the squad wholesale. Fans want progress, not a rebuild every twelve months. Keep some core, cash in where appropriate, and let the manager have a platform to settle the team. That approach gives us the best chance of staying competitive while managing the finances.
It isn't glamorous to advocate restraint, but sometimes the quiet, steady hand wins out. We can accept offers, but let's not sacrifice continuity for quick fixes.
