Selling best players to develop youth

[dannymc23]

Was just wondering people if any of you sell your best players for big cash when your younger players start pushing for 1st team? In my 1st season arsenal offered Carlos vela as a straight swap for ryan babel which i accepted! Come 2011 i had bojan (who was listed by request) and vela in my 1st team so i offered torres to clubs for 48 million to make space for the 2 wonderkids. In the end arsenal signed him for 48 million. Then stephen darbys stats improved so much i sold arbeloa for 12million to make way. Hyypia is now on my coaching staff which has given me the chance to play jack hobbs more often. i sold aurellio to chelsea for 2 million and now use insua as a back up for dossena. i now have saivet, n'gog and destro in my reserves (all strikers) pushing for 1st team and im tempted to sell bojan and vela for big money to make way for these 3 what do you think. Let me know if you have the same policy with selling your big players to make way for younger stars

i tend to be tempted to sell when they hit 30 provide i have two good youngsters to replace, that way i find im well covered for each position im selling from.

Nice deal for Vela, and lucky you for getting Bojan as well.

I'd keep hold of Bojan and Vela though because those other 3 won't come close to matching their ability.
