Well, if your hypothesis is in the right direction why buy him if he is injury prone and summer reshuffles don’t suit him? I’d have thought that being the case other more savvy clubs wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole on that basis so cashing in is going to be very a limited possibility surely?
It's got nothing to do with being injury prone, as you well know. Simply that the offer of money now versus the uncertainty of the future is hard to resist, especially in a climate where many clubs have been starved of income. Very few clubs in League 1 can turn down a 7-figure offer in the hope of getting more further down the line.

Power allegedly did this with Kasim & that didn't end well.

I think I moaned enough about the man city ticket prices for you to know it genuinly isn't me.
besides, I've got a 'I'm a better fan than Posh' T-Shirt the club sent me as a thank-you
(only joking posh, I don't blame anyone for asking for money back. the handling of this has been poweresque)

Interestingly I asked if I could have a credit for home tickets so I could bring my Dad along to some games. This was what I’d requested for the refund for ST & away tickets from the previous season, which got written off. But even for that I’ve heard nothing. PS. I have found a way to save almost two grand a year though, don’t go to home games

I'll tell you what, credit where credit is due barely a day seems to go by without another commercial partner for the club being announced, even if they are not paying a fortune its really helping to swell the coffers and get the club out there.

Every little helps as the Tesco motto goes. It's about building relationships with local businesses as well.
