    holding out for 20m

    You've got to hand it to them, they get real value out of their players

    20 million quid for a second tier striker. One who by his mid 20's has never scored a goal in the top division. Absolutely beyond mental. Who's trying to buy him btw?

    It's cos they're a 'massive' club. We wouldn't get offered anywhere near that if he played for us.

    One goal every two games, if he was still under contract we probably would be able to hold out for that. But I suspect we'd capitulate around the £10 million mark.

    Reportedly around seven Premier League Clubs keen on signing him.
    Definite that Swansea have and Huddersfield have shown an interest.
    Other teams are apparently West Ham, West Brom, Stoke City, Southampton
    and Crystal Palace with Huddersfield appearing to be the front runners to eventually
    get him.

    One good season and premier league mugs can't wait to gamble away ridiculous money.

    He's got a decent scoring record at Championship level. Not sure he'd make the step up to the Premier league, but those clubs must think he could.

    The dichotomy is that 15/20m is not an enormous gamble for most Prem teams.
    Btw I quite rate him

    What do you think the BFC equivalent asking/acceptance price would have been?
    I'd go for 750,000, and grateful to get that.
