like i said, i think tomkins is very good, but if we could sell for 10 & replace with a similar standard but younger then it makes sound finacial sense. also tomkins aint better than dann...not far off, but not better. i doutb anybody would be annoyed if we could sign a future maguire or keane for 10m Very good prem centre halfs go for more than £10m

You don’t watch much championship football , but you are pretty sure we could pick up a decent Center back between 5-8m from the championship? Ha ha. Brilliant.

English players must be dear if Tomkins, no where near the England team, is probably £20m now. 5-8million will get us f*ck all , see how much/how good Schlupp is.

Didn't we just sign a young center half for peanuts?

And who knows how good he will turn out to be. I can’t believe how many pages have been wasted on this 😂 Sell our no 2 defender when the no 1 is still injured and the no 3 has been ruled out for the rest of the season? It must be April 1 soon...

Of course we shouldn't be sell him. Just confuses me why people are moaning we don't sign young cheap players when clearly that's what the club has done this window.

We’ve signed young Center backs in the last 2 transfer windows?

Regardless of the price we get, IMHO we don’t sell James. He’s an invaluable squad member for us and we’re yet to see the best of him I feel.

A big asset of his is that he is quite quick for a CB and he often makes last ditch tackles and interceptions. He also complements Sakho well, I think. Would be a really bad idea to sell.
