I was wondering, what is the general concensus on player selling policy? Do you keep "lifelong" players? Have you ever kept a player who has peaked just because he's been pivotal for you in previous years, just out of loyalty?
Or are you ruthless in selling your players for the big bucks, compensating with cheaper buys from lesser leagues and South America? So once a player hits the 15M+, on the transfer list he goes? Or wait until he sort of reaches his peak at about 26-28 years and then off he goes?
As Chelsea I sold Micheal Essien because Real Madrid asked such a great price and also because I had great midfilders already when I was playing in a 4 4 3.
I also so Joe Cole because he was only about £5M when Liverpool bidded £15.75M for him so I had to let him go for that, he was also not getting many games because I had bought Theo Walcott and Christiano Ronaldo to play on the wings and Faberagas and Lampard for centre mids.
Joe Cole only got 11 games for Liverpool and I bought him back for £2M. Whhat I call a great bargain!
When I sold Saha beacause he was always injured and he wanted to be placed on the transfer list and barça bid €23 mil for him a lot of players got a bad morale and wanted to go, because I sold a 'good player'

Dont you ever get this?
I sometimes get a handful of unhappy players after a bigger sale, but usually I can deal with it. It takes about a month, but they'll get over it usually.
The thing I find hardest to do is to decide when to transfer list someone. I "fear" transferring a player who turns out to be the star player in another team and I'm fiercely loyal to players who've helped me out in previous seasons and keep them on longer because I like them

Ok, but what do you do when a player is unhappy after you sell a player and wants to leave the club?
I've never had a player requesting a transfer, only some unhappy players. So I don't know what I would do. It's probably best to do your big sales in the summer instead of the winter transfer window though for this reason.
Do you sell star players?
