Not that I should give a fuck but we absolutely need to be looking at the £12-15m bracket in today's market. He's established himself as an effective defensive centre-mid; he's still young and he's English. That needs to command a premium, regardless of his transfer request.

Diame, Shelvey and Hayden all leaving in summer leaves quite a gap in there.

 

This is why I'm disappointed Diame didn't get a contract extension. He shouldn't be starting matches anymore, but hes decent back up and now with 3 centre midfielders likely to leave we lack quality and quantity in centre midfield. Its the same with strikers with Rondon, Gayle and Joselu likely to leave and we will have to buy at least 2 strikers in the summer. Bringing in so many players in one summer is not a good idea, but we might be forced to just to build up the squad. This is what happens when you undermine your manager in the transfer market and rely too much on loans.

He didn't want to stay for one year, wanted a three year deal and club wouldn't give him it so he's basically done a deal with the club not to trigger it unless critical (i.e. everyone injured).

Need to thank Rafa for holding him to his contract. There were people who wanted to let him go for £5m last season, but Rafa holds everyone to his own standards where a contract means something. At least we should get some sort of decent recompense if we have to sell.

Looking forward to going back to our proven midfield pairing of Colback & Anita. Schteve back in the dugout.

Do people really think someone is now going to pay over £7million for him this Summer? :lol:

 

His fee has probably gone up about £2million/3million at most.

He's an above-average Premier League midfielder, just turned 24, more than two years left on his contract, good injury record, good attitude, intelligent. In the current market he should fetch a lot more than that.

I will be shocked if we get more than £8million for him.

 

Although I can see the likes of Palace and Brighton being all over him :thup:
