Sorry guys, this is madness!! This is a 24 year old English player who appears to have the potential to step up a level to the prem and you won't pay more than $3.5m for him?? That is 3.5% of the windfall you will get for being in the prem and even though I hate L**ds with a passion bringing kids through an academy costs money and this is one of the few ways we see some of the Prem money trickle down within English football. Lets see what happens but if you don't buy him then lets expect to see you to go abroad and pay 10m for another virtually unknown foreign player instead and potentially stunt the growth of a promising young English player!!!
Sorry, rant over!!!
This feels a bit familiar, remember Lakaku, Chelsea offered him to us for £18mil and we huffed and puffed, thinking we would get a better deal, pushed Chelsea into offering him out wider and the rest is history. Are we ever going to learn the lesson, time for the only religious quote, I ever use (other than the 23rd psalm of course
