Lots of Rumours about CCV leaving
Would you approve of club selling him?
What I think as long as we sign an improvement centre half, I would sell him for mainly these reasons, this is probably final chance for club to get decent money for him, anything above £10m, also he has been more injury prone last two seasons and has also made some defensive mistakes.
Yes this Tim says sell BUT ONLY if we bring in someone better.

I'd sell anybody if it was a chance for somebody better.

If the money is good then I'd sell.

He's a solid cb but I do think he os a little over rated. Would still rather keep him as replacing him with guanteed quality will cost 20+ million. Anything less than that is a gamble.

I would rather not sell CCV unless its for a ridiculous price. We already need a CB to take scales/ trustys spot so i don't like the thought of us having to replace both CB spots. Too much of a gamble.
Id like us to go for Dara O'shea or highly rated Czech CB Martin Vitik to partner CCV.
And im also for bringing Ajer back if the price is right, but only if he is to play as a DM. He is exactly what we need beside Calmac in Europe.
{Ed007's Note - Vitik would be a fantastic signing and I know that we have scouted/watched him but with teams like Napoli sniffing about it might be a big ask to get him in here.}

You are right ed, it is very unlikely as half of europe will be sniffing about him, but he is exactly the type of CB we should be going for. I think he may be into his last year so the fee shouldn't be an issue for us.
{Ed007's Note - He does only have a year to run on his deal. Fiorentina supposedly had a €10m bid rejected last summer and I think it might take that kind of money still but he's worth that imo.}

I love CCV and I want him to stay.
But I would be looking for someone better to partner him, which would help us step up a gear.
It would also need to be a left footer.
It’s not a coincidence that when we play Central defenders in their natural position that we give away less penalties, due to the defender leading with his natural foot in the box.

I think CCV is extremely underrated in what he brings to our team. CCV, McGregor and Maeda are the spine of our recent successes.
I would prefer to keep the big man but can see the rational if an offer of £20M or above came in as it could be reinvested.

My tuppence worth re CB position.
If CCV stays, we need better than CCV to partner him, let alone better than Scales or Trusty.
If CCV is sold, I believe we require two first team starting CB's.

CCV has been caught out too often against the Sevconian and in Europe. We could get better.
