According to them, his market valuation is 25million euros.

Now I know we are trying to buy off a club that wants to keep him and we are a club desperate for a player in his position so that will affect the price upwards, but to be prepared to pay more than double the generally accepted price for anyone, especially with no other club seemingly interested and driving the price up is absolutely madness.

Not only does this land us with a player who would have to be the next Wayne Rooney for us to stand any chance of not making a massive loss on him, but you have to ask what message it sends out to ever other club who's players we are sniffing around too.

WALK AWAY !!!
