Fans are all stupid. You shouldn't endlessly hold on to players just because it gives you the warm and fuzzies. We have a million kids that'll go through the academy. It's incredibly exciting to see who can come through next. Selling players like Konstantelias allows us to both pay for the pipeline, AND opens up a space! Anyway, another rumor for CB now that the Slovenian guy has negged us: https://www.transfermarkt.com/hjalmar-ekdal/profil/spieler/392179

Some rumors of Dortmund offering something in the 25-30mm range for Konstantelias, with his own salary to reach around 3 million/year. It will be really stupid of both us and him to not eventually agree to a transfer (though we should try to push those #s up). The guy who was their "plan A" netted a much larger offer from Dortmund, which was rejected, so clearly there is more room to make more money. And yes I know people think he won't want to leave or whatever. We still should sell him. We could be talking about an amount that will fundamentally reset this team's prospects for years to come, should we spend it wisely. Kamara apparently also rejected an offer from some Saudi team, because he thinks he has a chance at moving to a better league. I think the writing is on the wall with that guy, probably more imminently than Konstantelias. I'd be surprised if he's still with us in September.
