OB1 said:This doesn't look like a good move for us and the fee being bandied about is very poor, even for a guy with a year left on his contract. De Jong wouldn't sign a new contract though and we need total commitment. Failure to replace him adequately will be the real sin.
Sinclair's in the last year of his contract and we're stumping up 8 million.
Johnson left for 10 million with 2 years to run on his contract.
We gave Everton anything from 12-15 million for Rodwell.
And it appears De Jong will be leaving for as little as 3 million.
It isn't hard to see why Marwood comes in for some stick.
