I wonder if this is appropriate now to Sonny ? Now is when we will get the greatest value for him.
???
Dip in form - SELL HIM! Maximize profits!
No. He stays.

I was trying to be sensible. There is a right time to sell players and a right time to buy players. Just wondering if now is the right time with Son as we will get top value for him. I will be happy to keep him but if he stays his value will now start going down quite sharply.???

Genuinely not a bad idea at all. Would kill me though as I love Son
Why would it? Do you think anyone at the club thought we should sell him in the summer after he'd just won the golden boot?I wonder if this is appropriate now to Sonny ? Now is when we will get the greatest value for him.
We may have to move Sonny on at some point, but it’s a totally different situation to Dele. He’s model pro, who’s just coming off his best ever season. If anything, this injury may be a blessing as he’s played so much football in the last year.I wonder if this is appropriate now to Sonny ? Now is when we will get the greatest value for him.
I didn't intend any comparison between Dele and Son other than trying to make a point that as a club we are not very good at spotting when is the right time to move a player on. We seem to leave it until they are not worth very much or they are entrenched in a lengthy contract and no one wants to pay what we want.I'm not seeing the comparison between Son and Dele. Son has admittedly had a pretty ropey three months, but won the golden boot last year and he still has all his pace. It's just not happened for him yet this year (a couple of performances excepted).
Dele had clearly lost not only his perfomance on the pitch, but off it too and that was very evident for at least two full years before we managed to sell him.
Unless Son wants out himself then we surely don't think of selling. He's a model pro, hugely popular within the club, and a great ambassador for us.

Yeah I can't argue against that as a general point.I didn't intend any comparison between Dele and Son other than trying to make a point that as a club we are not very good at spotting when is the right time to move a player on.

Still got some more years left in him, a couple in MLS then somewhere in the middle east.
One of the match commentators in a recent Liverpool match said Salah has only scored 4 goals in the league this season, which is about par with Sonny, so it's not just Sonny whose suffering this season, his fellow Golden Boot winner from last season is too.
Not good enough for those leagues. He might get a game in the Indian league.
