Dan, I never said you should sell at £10m. Read the post properly:
I said £10m isn't a bad fee, which it isn't, but some were reacting as though Arsenal were light years away from his true value. I was arguing that asking for £15m would be inflated because his truer value is near to £10m, purely because of his age and experience, two of the biggest factors determining a fee after form and ability.

I agree £15m is an inflated fee, as I said his true valuation is somewhere between £8-£10m but if it is to have any real effect in transfers we need to be pushing Arsenal towards the £15m mark or not bother selling at all. Although £10m isn't a bad offer for the reason you state it really isn't going to offer us anything this summer, that's if Bill doesn't find the magic hole all the other money seems to go into.
