If selling Agger improves the club in Rodger's opinion, then what is all the fuss about?
If we refused 25m and then he got injured again that would hurt.

I think it's a case of we could accept £100m but we would still not be able to buy a defender of teh same quality.
Left footed, ball playing centre backs who can actually defend are exceptionally rare.
Diego Godin is a left footed central defender that can play. Younger too.
I honestly think we could find a good replacement. He has been injured for us throughout his career, and we still have had the best defensive records when he missed whole seasons.
Papadopoulos, Musacchio , Kjaer, Godin and Granqvist could all replace him in my opinion.
...and we have Coates, Kelly, Wilson, Wisdom...
I'd take £23m and Adam Johnson but it's not wise to sell your best players when you've just come 8th and he is certainly one of our best players.
Let's take a look to the 'improves the club' argument. BR has quoted Agger is top class. Why he'd accept to lose him? The only thing I can think is cash. So have to concede the rumours about the 'first sell, then buy' policy from our owners and the worst, the highly unsettling feeling that everyone's dispensable.

It means nothing of the sort. Do you honestly think that we've put on the transfer list or something. We have not gone up to city and said "do you want to buy agger."
They came to us. Nothing to do with a sell to buy which is not the case anyway.

They'll have set a price on him where they know they can improve the team with that money, in that case it is sell to buy as he'd have to be replaced, but it doesn't necessarily mean we have to sell to buy in the general sense.

The reason why top clubs don't sell their top rated players unless they want out:
I think is so difficult to assemble a football team (needs time, smartness, work, luck to say a few) that you don't even think to take a succesful piece apart (Agger-Skrtel pair) especially when you have a lot to do in other parts and Agger himself so perfectly fits your footy plan.

Well he fits into half the footy plan.
#DontSellAgger..........is gaining momentum on twitter.
i cant believe we would actually sell him.... there is no guarantee that what we buy to replace him would be a success!! ...see Torres and Carroll
I cant believe hes actually gonna consider selling Agger i rather he sell skrtel than agger to be honest. The way things are looking is that were probally gonna finish round about the same place but we shall see i make a proper assessment at the end of the transfer window.
