The two things are fine. You can question a player's potential quality and question why the club that presumably believes in his quality isn't willing to pay the asking price.
Maybe they believe he is a 15m player not the 20m asked by Feyenoord?
Then they should only need to look at our current striker situation to realise that they're idiots. It's never ever about how much it's worth as part of the bigger picture.
If you're dying of thirst, you pay whatever it costs for a glass of water, you don't die while patting yourself on the back for not being held to ransom. It's quite obviously a ransom situation, pay what you have to pay to survive.
I wouldn’t liken it to a ransom situation at all. There is just absolutely no intelligent planning going on; it’s all about the deal with Ashley. We are the tightest cunts possible in terms of fees and wages when we try and get someone in yet when it’s time to sell we want top dollar. The needs of the squad are completely secondary to making as big a margin as possible on every single transaction we do. Sadly what goes for players goes for the club as a whole too - we’ll only ever get rid if a buyer is willing to pay a massive premium over what we’re actually worth.
The worst thing for me is us fans are letting him get away with it time and time again.
