Sorry but that's just mental. The difference between £0 and £5-6 million at our level is astonishing, I simply think it is madness to let someone of his calibre just disappear like that without reaping the benefits. I get that the sensible Burnley bid came too late in the day in September, but given that we have developed him as a player, the club deserves better. I'm astonished that no one seems to agree with me to be honest.
Indeed it is. As is the difference between 6m and 170m. We have made the call that we're quite happy to gamble with 6m to return 170m. There is no value in selling him now as getting a replacement up to speed will cost more. I'm more astonished you think DS should sign a year extension just so we get something for him. DS will have given us exactly what we paid for - 1m for 3 odd years service.
