Every team are holding onto their players even when getting insane bids..
I wouldnt be surprised if we sell Cabaye for what is cheap these days.
Where is this happening. The only team we know have done this are Liverpool but they are arguably in a unique position of having a chance to revive the club and push for CL football again this season. Suarez could be key to that and his value won't drop that much next season / he might stay again.
Spurs and Bale we have no real idea what Madrid have offered. All we hear is speculation and rumours, player swaps etc.
The top clubs simply don't have to sell so when you offer peanuts for players like Fabregas its no surprise then rebuff it. Its all a balance.
Does the player want to leave
Have the club got players coming through
Do they need the money
How much would a replacement be
Have they got replacements lined up
Is the window nearly closed
What are their targets this season and how much are they worth in monetary terms
Is the person bidding a rival
Will he be worth more or less in a seasons time
There are so many considerations that its hard to pick the exact reasons for a players sale.
