The cold hard facts are that as others have stated we are and we will be a selling club for many years, as long as we continue with the transfer policy adopted by CL of buying or developing up and coming younger players from the lower leagues or top league reserves then the likelihood will always be that should these players produce then the premiership piranhas will come calling.
Every City player is avaliable for transfer, and should a club come offering silly money that can aide the clubs long term future and possibly help the club fund more rebuilding then it has to be the way we go.
Look at the Connolly deal, sold for silly money enabling the signings of Hume and latterly Fryatt and swelling the coffers, both these players have now increased their value which should they move on will enable the club to go out and repeat the process. This is how many of the clubs in the championship have to operate and it is something we have to get used to, if we don't want to see this happen then I suggest a return to the Micky Adams transfer policy may well be the only solution.
We have to be realistic, we all wanted a young, hungry and vibrant team, we are now starting to see the benefits but along with that the consequences have to be taken on board as well.
