We don't want to sell
We don't need to sell
He doesn't want to leave
He's on a long contract
These are to be considered
before his talent is assessed.
So how much is to be offered to
make Levy take the call?
--------

Okay let's apply this to Ronaldo:
Man utd didn't want to sell
Man Utd didn't need to sell
Ronaldo (until 2008) claimed he didn't want to leave (like Modric, Fabregas and a whole host of players)
Ronaldo was on a long lucrative contract.

You can add to the above his incredible success at all levels in Man utd, the larger-than-life status of Man Utd, his great individual profile, his Beckham like brand value etc and we can see why Bale would command nothing close to Ronaldo's fee.

Like I said before though, you'll only get something obscene for him if City or Chelsea buy him and I believe those 2 would max out at £40-£45m. Madrid and Barca would spend £30+m on him.

If the player agrees to a move, those Spanish clubs can play dirty and arm-twist the club like they did with Ronaldo and Cesc.

The statues outside the Emriates are actually worth more than the garbage that plays inside the ground every other week.

And here comes Sandy Clown.
I'd certainly know a lot about garbage - I've seen it pretty much my entire lifetime since the 90's in your stadium in that 5h!t hole it's located in.

Kaboul £15m?

Cahill's apparently worth £7million with 6 months contract left and he's on the fringes of the England team. Kaboul's established himself for France and for a top 3 PL side - £15m seems reasonable to me

If Kaboul is supposedly woth £15m why we are selling Alex for anything less than £100m beats me.

Maybe you should ask AVB why he won't even let him train with the first team, or park in the first team car-park?

Maybe Alex is too good for Chelsea?
