Mate - with respect, it doesn’t matter what you think he’s worth, and nor does it matter what a bunch of City fans on a forum think he’s worth either.
It’s a predictable phenomenon every summer when we’re trying to buy a player that fans of their current teams come on here making apparently hardline, inflexible valuation statements as if they’re somehow involved in the negotiations, and they’re trying to get us to agree with their position as if this has any bearing on the deal.
You’re always going to over-value the player, and we’re going to undervalue him. Because we see it solely from the position of our own clubs interests, and don’t really give a shit about the other side.
But none of it matters in the end.
Leeds will have their valuation, and City will also have their own valuation. If the two Clubs can find a meeting point somewhere in the middle they can both be relatively happy with - it’ll happen. And if they can’t - it won’t.
There really isn’t any point any of us lot bigging up our apparently inflexible positions on here. It means absolutely nothing to the final valuation.
The reality is there must be enough belief that a common ground can be reached for negotiations to at least be happening.
All the rest is nothing more than hyperbolic hot air!
