If we're not a top 8 or 9 club by Christmas.
Club would sell Zohore to have funds for a rebuild in January.
The problem is that if we aren't top 8 or 9, chances are he is continuing along the same form as now.
What will he be worth then?

If the club sells, a replacement needs to be found of a similar standard, so any fee should be realistic and not done on the cheap, with a suitable sell-on clause should the player be a success and move on to even better again.
If the club doesn't sell, it keeps an asset that could grow in value. On the flip side, the player might not recapture that form, or even sulks because he didn't get a move to a higher league, resulting in the club never being able to get that valuation for him again, plus having a player that isn't living up to expectations.
Sensible view ^^Quote:

He is still developing and is good at what he does. Others in the team are also off the boil at the moment and potential buyers will know this.
Best man at the helm and he is keeping the interest in KZ going.
I was quite surprised when I read about Brighton's £17million offer given that we'd only seen the best of Zohore for a few months. Saying that, with all the extra TV money going about causing the transfer market to go nuts, perhaps I shouldn't have been.Quote:

Even if KZ's goals dries up, there's so much TV money in the league that someone like Brighton will be desperate in January and will still offer something daft for him based on his potential etc. Boro panicked last Jan and spent 12m on Bamford and Gestede, both of whom clearly aren't good enough.Quote:

Very true.Quote:

He looked like he couldn't be bothered at times last game or he was injured or been reading his own press? Should have sold him for £17m for sure.
(Now I hope I eat humble pie for the rest of the season).
Agreed. I know people talk about defending from the front, but I thought the amount of pointless closing down done by Zohore, Hoilett and, occasionally, Bryson (the three players who were subbed) was getting applause from a home crowd eager to have something to be enthusiastic about, but did no good whatsoever as far as the players themselves were concerned - I haven't got much time for claims of tiredness in September, but we were playing in a manner which was very physically demanding during August.Quote:

Would have like to see Ward alongside Zohore sometimes to give the opposite centre backs more to think about. I did notice against Fulham McDonald seem to be in front of Zohore to stop balls to his feet and Sheff wed used Bannan to do the same job.
Tomlin in behind, Hoilett and NML on either wing, we could win every game 5-4.Quote:
