You're not looking at it in context.
WE, as in us fans have no say in the matter.
Personally, I would keep him if it was my choice, but according to people in the know and high up media types (one being Tony Evans from the Times who is usually bang on the money) state that BR just doesn't fancy him for our new style/squad/system.
Just don't see the point in selling him to the highest bidder when we'd be extrem;y fortunate to get £20m at best from a Random team when we could loan him to a team that could help us destabilize our rivals whiclst not being able to play him against us.
You know our luck don't you? We sell him to someone and he ends up smashing two past us when he comes into town or we visit his new club!
Oh yes, and I did stipulate that the loan would have to have a binding stipulation that he is bought for £17.5m at the end of the agreement.
The only reason I put this into a new thread is because I'm highlighting the Adebayor link. The way they have bought a shed load of players and loaned them out to potentially cause havoc to other teams knowing said player cannot play against them!
Reckon Andy Carroll would be amazing at that!
Better than having an unfancied BR 'supersub' player who sits and sulks cos he knows he is not wanted,
Win-win all round.
