I wouldn't have thought so. I'd guess that a deal will be reached at a significantly lower figure. It's just Chelsea setting their stall out early saying that yes there will be sales but they're not going to be bargain sales, IMO.

In light of that it's no surprise that 30m for Colwill was turned down.
I'm glad we made the bid, I wouldn't be averse to a second one being made in a 'are you sure he's not for sale'...
Sadly I can't take full(any) credit. I took 'inspiration' from a certain J. Gregory talking about Gareth Barry.
