I would be better if we could sign a replacement before selling. Otherwise clubs know we have a bit of cash and will want over the odds for there players.
Dickie has been brilliant since we signed him, and to be honest he owes us nothing. As long as we accept a respectable offer that potentially gives us more money further down the line I’m happy. As much as it’s a real pain having to sell players, we have to accept this is our model at the moment. In time this will change! But also it shows players that they can come here and develop and we will help them by giving them game time, and a chance to move up the pyramid where they started as youngsters. Dickie will become a premier league player one day. Terrific defender.
Wherever he ends up I wish him the best of luck.
