Yeah, I'd much rather we were fleeced out of millions.
We're not being fleeced out of millions though. Clearly, they've got a valuation on the player which we're looking for them to drop. If anyone's attempting to do any fleecing, it's us.
Aye, but what are you expecting us to do? Negotiation doesn't really work when a club says "Right we want £8m..." and we go "Cash or cheque?" - you see how cheap you can get him, how much he's actually worth etc. There's no point to agreeing to their valuation immediately as chances are they've inflated it to get a bit of extra cash out of you.
