In our current state this is the case for every single player on the team. If a big offer arrives for a player, our financial situation means we will sell.it sucks, but it’s reality.
It doesn’t much look or sound like we were attempting to sell him. One team made an offer, it wasn’t enough so we didn’t sell him. We weren’t out looking to find a buyer or start a bidding war to get to the fee that we wanted for him.

But for this to be the case wouldn’t we have had to be out there actively looking to offload him? Chelsea made an offer. We refused it and said it wasn’t enough. We didn’t go looking to find other clubs to offer more.
