Quote: Northampton_Saint "Even if we got a million quid for him what would be the point? There's nobody around we could find to replace him with with that money - just the same as your lot will find when Tomkins is on his way. I'd rather we kept him for as long as humanly possible and then got newt' rather than have a big pile of cash and a weaker team for a few years.'"
It just depends on how you spend the money though.
Plough it back into youth development, sports science, scouting systems etc, buy two or more players to strengthen the squad.
We've been having this "discussion" on the Wigan site, and I'm in the get the money in and use it wisely camp. There are others who think that it's better to make the player see out his contract then leave for nothing.
