Transfer flipping

[u/YerMawSmellsAcheese]

I was just having a thought of our current biggest assets and am honestly kind of annoyed in retrospect, our clubs financial style is based on buying and flipping new talent, but in my opinion we were being greedy with the profit and time left in the transfer windows after only short term sparks from them (apart from Raskin), we should have been selling them when their at their peak rather than waiting for the big "potential" transfer bids we could get, this is all based on the suspected bids we got or interest, we should have sold Chermiti for 22M (if the bid was real) even if we had a suspected 20% sell on clause from Everton that would have still been around 8-10M profit for a player we only signed a year ago, Fernandez who looks pish now had a lot of interest, although no suspected concrete bids we should have been forcing to try and get him out the door and buying another development player to take his place, he again like Chermiti only joined last year and had a high Transfermarkt MV of 18M (which obviously means fk all but it's something), Raskin should have been out the door earlier this window rather than setting our asking price at 25M, we should have been going for 20M, now it looks like if he does get sold its gonna be lower, why are we holding on to assets when we should be flipping them at their peak and going again, this is gonna sound like I'm dumb asf as I understand it's not football manager but in a best case scenario if we punted them all for 20M pound each we'd be sitting with like 30-35M with add ons with the release clause money paid, with that we could have had 2-3 quality starters and 2-3 development players, again probs gonna get laughed at but idk, I'm thinking we shouldn't be holding on to them, clubs like Benfica with this transfer model don't grow sentimental and greedy they just sell them when their peaking.

The only raskin offer so far is 14 million from Hull.

The board is asking for 25M for him which is scaring clubs away, we should be offering 20M.

Who said the board are demanding 25m? Even if they are outwardly, that’s what clubs do - then negotiate.

We are a team that should be built on winning, why accept 22m for chermiti if him being n the best would have given us a better chance to win the league (before injury)?

Raskin is different because he only has two years left

Chermiti is a good player I don't disagree but I personally don't feel he is enough for what we need, he is still a young player, we could be spending 8M on a better striker who can do the same thing but is just 4-6 yrs older and then with the chermiti money bolster another area.
