Yes Ince looks a fantastic prospect - he has not played enough games at this level to demand a high price, his stock will go up each game he plays. Even Zaha had played a few seasons before palace got silly money for him. Lots of people estimated Buckley at 5M + a few seasons ago, what is he...
True, but the has to be some incentive for him to sign. 4M is a deterrent to the lower prem clubs, he may not develop at all. At this moment in time his value is probably 1M ?
What is the Bosman situation with Ince ? If we offer him a contract and he declines we will be due a fee set by a tribunal?
I can't exactly remember how it works but if he does go I can not see it being for 'free'. My view is we should tie him down on a 4 yr contract equal to Bridcutts with a 4M...
