We're not going to get anything putting a Jones up for trade and too often that's the type of player that's suggested.
We also need to look at the deals and make sure what we're offered is better than what we're giving away. If the price is right do the deal. If we have, as is suggested, some Key Position targets lined up then Casboult may be surplus to our needs. We wont need him to look after the young ones, but he may be a player another club could use.
Supporters often overvalue their own players but Casboult is the type of player that the opposition might look at and think "Great mark, Strong presence, we can fix that kicking." He has value, can we use that to our advantage. You don't shut the door on that without seeing what's offered, especially if he's asking for solid cash.
He's not surplus to our needs. If he's great mark, strong presence then given our other options we keep him. Anyone who knows anything about the game knows you don't put young kids in key positions as our no.1, unless you don't want them to develop. We might get a draft pick, but we might screw the development of a potential young gun key forward. We need to use our brains here. Not as if we still have Waite and Henderson.
