17 million?!?

This is a player known for kicking off and causing issues when he doesn't get his way. If he wants to leave he'll eave, and due to his pretty average performances this season, 17 million is probably fair.

We shouldn’t be interested in a fair price. He’s our biggest asset, we’re barely doubling our money. If he kicks up a massive fuss then it’s slightly different

He's the biggest asset in a poor Premiership side having hardly set the world alight.

Doubling our money is fair in my opinion. And I think our owners (whoever they are) would also take the cash.

I think they will too, probably less also. How often do teams pay the initial asking price? He’s been a disappointment no doubt, they all have. But he goes and we’re a much weaker team next season. I certainly don’t trust Dowling and co to replace him, the money gained from promotion is worth much more than cashing in on him
