You do realise he is talking about a boy scout who works at the club during the school holidays.

As I said above, Duffy's valuation is irrelevant. He was at Blackburn, a club who are struggling, so people weren't seeing his best football and he was out of contract at the end of the season. This was always going to bring the value down. I would say we'd sell him for more than double his original fee already.
I don't think Keane is worth £25 million. He is certainly not that much better than Dunk but, if you are quoting him as being rated at that, how can you possibly say Dunk is not rated at £10 million despite no Premier League experience? There is nowhere near that much gulf between the two of them.

I used to rationalise transfer madness by thinking the club would tout itself to prospective players with a picture of Leo saying 'do you want some of that?'
That has now changed to the scouts etc approaching representatives of say Johnny Russell, with a picture of Pritchard asking the same question?

What the absolute ****?
We've already had bids of 10M+ knocked away before the season even started. Most would consider him player of the season thus far and he has recently signed another fresh contract.

Exactly. Dunk is in the middle of (yet another) expensive 5 year contract and spent all of last season playing in effectively a promotion winning team.
But all of thats by the by. Multiple credible sources, press, media confirmed club turned down £8m+ offers from prem league clubs for him.

In the middle? or is that just a turn of phrase? He signed a new 5-year in September.

Dunk is a 10 million pound player now, simple, clearly hes not worth that but that is at least the going rate.
To think we would sell him for less is folly.
Thrilled i got to use the word "Folly"

A hard working Ashley Barnes type I've always liked when he's played against us- the kind of team player who might just fit in - it's a yes from me (sorry to detract and start talking about the original thread title!)

Don't wait for me!
He hasn't scored since McLaren bedded in. Time for a new adventure . . . . ?

Watching the Derby game, he looks useless, why downgrade on what we have?

I'm sure we said the same about Duffy before we signed him. If the management want him, that's good enough for me.

Who the **** said Duffy was useless? I thought Duffy would be a great signing, I don't think Russell will.

Quite a lot of people on here didn't like that signing at the time.
Useless might be a bit strong though.
