You get a salary with bonuses for the success of the team. When they start getting money for dismantling the squad it's a conflict of interest. Imagine if hee was in charge at spurs. Would you want him profiting from selling Kane, Ali, eriksen et al? He would be falling over himself to move them on.

Yeah, there is that. I am not saying that I agree with what I posted. I am just playing devil's advocate and entertaining whether or not an ethical argument can be made. Yes, it does/can incentivize asset stripping. But if he is not the person with final say then that is a check on this power.

Also, isn't your argument the reason 'Arry bristles at being called a wheeler dealer? Didn't he have the same arrangement with that Milan whatever-ic guy at Pompey?

Look back on the berahino situation and you have pulis desperate to sell and talking to the media. Jeremy peace saying he won't be sold. Look how messed up that made berahino.

Koeman has just said that they are looking for a left footed defender...
Are you insinuating something that could save us 20M in our transfer budget? Swap or 2 deals of Wimmer for Barkley? Could be a win-win.

I think we'll regret selling Wimmer, he just needs a run in the side.

I'd only sell him with a realistic buy-back clause, a bit like what Real Madrid do.

Crystal Palace make £15m move for Spurs' defender Kevin Wimmer after being put off by Liverpool's £30m Mamadou Sakho price tag
  • Crystal Palace have made a £15m move for Tottenham' defender Kevin Wimmer
  • He is wanted by three clubs with West Brom already bidding and Stoke keen
  • Wimmer is valued close to £20m but £15m plus add-on could seal the deal
  • Palace move on to the Austrian after being put off by Mamadou Sakho's price tag
Crystal Palace have made a £15million move for Tottenham centre-half Kevin Wimmer.

The Austrian defender is wanted by three clubs with West Bromwich Albion having bid last week and Stoke City also posting an interest.

Tottenham have signed Davinson Sanchez from Ajax and are in talks to sign Juan Foyth from Estudiantes.

The 24-year-old Wimmer is valued close to £20million by Tottenham, although they are likely to sell for an initial £15m plus add-ons.

I can see him leaving for something between £20-25 million. Levy make it happen!

Not surprised by the interest. Hes prem proven and ideal for any of the teams mentioned (and most outside the top 6). At WBA in particular I think he'd be perfect, in the same way I believe Fazio would have been.

A bidding war is great, however only if the player is open to joining all of the clubs involved.

Does Kevin really want to be living in the Midlands?

If Liverpool think Sakho is worth £30m then they should think about keeping him with defending being their biggest weakness

I've got Kev in my draft league, just sitting on the bench scoring zeros.

Levy, if you could hurry up and sell him, that would be great thanks, I'm 0-2 already:(

Come on WBA, £15m is not enough for Levy.

That's why WE have considerably more mun-noyyyy than YOW
