"There has been more contact, but whether there has been a firm bid or not I'm not sure. "There is always a value on every player, so you should never say never. We have been a selling club ever since we were relegated but keeping Gary would be a fantastic signal. "What sort of signal would it be if we did sell him? We have sold season-tickets and shirts on the back of Gary. "It would be easy to take the money and really improve the squad, competing with fees for new players. " But we couldn't replace him - I wouldn't know where to start. So he's not going anywhere unless there is a fee acceptable to the board." |
