The really interesting bit for me was:
"At one point during that process West Ham's interest in the player became apparent in the media which wasn't helpful. From that moment onwards, after Dean made it clear than he wanted to go, all we could do was make the best of the situation we found ourselves in - and achieve the best possible price.?
So we wanted a ridiculous price (10MM perhaps), the Hammers wouldn't pay it so they leakes the story, Deano find out and says he wants to go, all negotiaitign power lost and we were lucky to get 7MM??
