Nobody said this. I said £80m "wasn't an insult," because it isn't; no one is insulting anyone by putting 80 million quid on the table. It matches the most anyone in this league has ever paid for a striker excluding the Blue lunatics. And I said £17m was a decent profit, which it is, thanks to the backwards world of PSR. How many clubs have turned a profit on an investment that big?
However, it's possible to think all of the above whilst also being absolutely certain that we shouldn't (and wouldn't) blink at such an offer.
