I don't disagree. But let's assume it's true we turned down £7m for him from Reading in the summer, he's got a couple of Prem goals now, might get a few more before January and then back come Reading begging for such a player and we tell them sorry chaps it's £15m now, he's a proven Prem...
Au contraire. Simply reinforces the selling clubs ability to charge a premium. If we lump on a striker in Jan then expect one of the then quartet to be shipped out. What price to a Championship club chasing promotion now that he has a new contract? Well how about £15m.
Shrewd move for all...
