Just back from Rotterdam.
Alf amazing
His record
Helsinki 62 games. 46 goals 13 assists
Gers. 118 games. , 72 goals 26 assists
Apart from maybe Messi and Ronaldo anyone know of a better record
We one day will miss this lad.

John25, we will miss this lad, an incredible find and player. Money talks though my friend. We mustn't let him go for under 25 million. What do you think?

I agree money talks, however as king said we need to sell players and make big money, I got laughed off this site when I said he had potential to be next Suarez, I’ve not changed my mind.
No matter what I’d knock back silly money in January, imagine if we stay in Europe beyond Xmas and he keeps scoring, I believe 50 Goals is possible over the season,
The real big boys will get interested, he will go for a Scottish record but if he hits 50, which includes anything between 15-20 Europe goals, couple more for Columbia my opinion is 30 million is not unrealistic.

Point me to where King said we need to sell players and make big money?

There must be a large sell on clause negotiated for a guarantee of another payment down the line, there has to be hard talk in any transaction

Daisy at agm and in accounts, he says we only make 7% from player sales and the model going forward is to generate income stream from player sales as part of our business model in the future.
Do not take this as me meaning we are in trouble and need the money, it’s part of how to progress, buy cheap develop and sell on mate.

It’s pretty obvious that if we want to compete at a high level in Europe and the league we need far more cash than is possible by simply playing in Scotland
Before we can sell at a profit we need to have the players who can be sold for decent money - only now do we have a few.
Without the huge losses in recent years we would not have these players and would not be challenging.
Win the league this year and we are back and can then think of selling but only if we have alternatives coming through from the youths or pipeline replacements in mind.

only problem is we don't have enough high value players who we can sell on without seriously affecting our potential standing in the league and EU. i agree it is the way forward but we need to have another potential Alf lined up before we sell, hopefully that's what the scouts have done but Xmas is not the time to sell.
