done an unbelievable job for us and helped us to were we are now but he wants to go id say take the offer nobody else will get anywhere near it well i would be surprised if anybody else does!
Well its not brilliant as it doesn't reflect his influence and improvement in the 2 years we had him.
Top scorer over 2 seasons in the toughest league in th eworld is about as good an improvement as you could possibly get.
Measure that against Torres sale and the general prices banded about, yes im aware of the differences in each deal, timing, aggresive aproaches etc etc but over all its not bad, not great but not bad.
Realistic would be 60m if you look at Torres and Ronaldo deals. But his baggage has knocked 20-25m of that.
Defo need a sell on clause if he comes back to the prem or Spain, Italy.
yeah get your point realistic £60 million would be around the figure you would look at but as you pointed out circumstances dictate otherwise!
