Yes, correct because thats about the going rate for players of his quailty

even if they can be "peripheral for long periods" and a "teeny weeny bit overrated."

He's still more proven at prem level and established at championship level than quite a few players who have been sold for £7 or £8 million in recent years so a sale for £4m of a player who has an excellent reputation, who is fit and who has two years left on their contract would in my view be very poor business by the club. So poor in fact that I don't believe that we will sell him for anything resembling that fee.

        🚨🚨 "Flatters to Deceive" Klaxon 🚨🚨 (n/m) (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, May 17, 14:52:29
        
        But if we don't get £10 million for him (NCFC) - norway, May 17, 15:08:23
        
        It would certainly be poor if we sold him for significantly less than that (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, May 17, 15:13:23
        
        won't get more than a million next year (NCFC) - mr carra, May 17, 15:47:11
        
        Yes we would. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, May 17, 16:06:44
        
        Even though he isn't very good. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, May 17, 15:21:07
        
        Yes. He is a good player. I've not said he isn't very good. (NCFC) - Jim, May 17, 15:36:22
        
        So in summary, he isn't that good but we must get £10 million for him. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, May 17, 15:46:21
        
        Yes, correct because thats about the going rate for players of his quailty (NCFC) - Jim, May 17, 16:16:58
