More paper talk today that Sunderland may offer £5m for Biton, if true would you accept it, I know this season he has been good but previous year not as good, do we cash in on him and use money for other areas like a strong CH or a good CF?

Think they'll need a manager before any players are signed. But no real surprise clubs are looking at him. £5m seems fair given the short time he's been here and what we paid. I think we would want a bumper sell on % because he's only going to get better. Surely that money would need to be put into CDM though.

I would keep hold of him for as long as we can. He has improved so much in the last 6 months it would be crazy to cash in on him now. good holding midfielders are hard to come by.

Im confident after one more season he is going to be worth a lot more so I personally want him to stay. Not only for the money value but also I think he is only going to get better and be a far more key player

Bman and DN you're right. Essentially I'd rather see good players in the team than money in the bank. And yeah, if we are going to sell then a good season in the CL could see that value double. But we're a selling club. Would PL really turn down a seven-fold profit? Who was the last player subject to bids that we actually held off from everybody?

Jim Jim , Do you know any team that isn't a " selling" club . Celtic , it seems to me have the same policy re selling their better players as Liverpool Manchester United and the rest of the EPL heavy weights . If a good player and his agent decides that they don't want to stay at a club , then no matter what club it is the club will look for the best deal possible and move him on . Examples Sterling and the Utd goalkeeper

Jimtim was there not bids on the table for vvd at the end of the summer transfer window and we knocked it back , isn't that the reason he missed the game at tannedice in a huff .

It's more the BS that is dropped in our shoes Chris. "We don't need to sell" . But the small print says we undoubtedly will if an offer comes in. You're saying you wouldn't take double that £5. I just wish we'd have that sort if spine.

Fab 1 is right Jim Jim , tell me the name of one Of our better Celtic players we have sold who hasn't been demanding a transfer .
There is no point holding on to any player against his will, no matter how good he is , as a unhappy star footballer can upset team spirit .
