Henderson was £16m, Downing £20m not a year ago...is AJ worth less than those 2 ? No of course he isn't. He's better than both and therefore his transfer fee should reflect that.

But it's not that simple is it? Henderson and Downing were regular starters at Sunderland and Villa, meaning they were important players so that automatically bumps the price up. AJ has been more of an impact sub so is therefore not as important to City, which buying clubs would be well aware of and would tend to lower his price.

Plus they would be on lower level wages.

plus everyone knows they were ridiculously awful fucking buys and in no way actually reflective of the transfer market — every player that "king kenny" bought was a transfer outlier in just about the worst possible way

If we end up with 15m its more than a good price,

Liverpool would'nt get that for the pair of their duck eggs now,

We have more than doubled our outlay for AJ,I make that good business.

ps not that we should worry about the clubs financial dealings,people are paid to do that,we are not a sunday league team ffs! money wise my interest ends at the price of admission!

wtf ??

Silva holds Johnson in some sort ot esteem!! I like that! Maybe he spent hours on the training ground wondering how he does it. . . bet he never stops asking Iniesta why Barca havent snapped him up! ;-)

So you're saying David Silva is either a liar or full of bullshit then ?

Nope..... As i said,
He was just being nice.

FFS if you want to make a case for AJ do it the merits of his game, not a DavidSilva tweet. As someone hinted at earlier, is David Silva going to say "Good guy and I liked him, but an underachieving pisshead and quite honestly it's better he left!??'

And still several light years ahead of Steven Fletcher ! Let's give praise and thanks to the god that is Brian 'Poker Face' Marwood. Asset stripping at its finest.

''asset stripping'' !!!!!

wow have the Champions sold the spine of the team or just some unwanted/ uninterested squad ''assets'' so far lol

.....and has the window shut already?!

A player is an asset whatever you think of that term. Selling a player for less than his market value (which we do continually) is asset stripping in my book.

A player is worth what someone is prepared to pay for him.

Its no good to us putting an unrealistic value on his head and no-one being prepared to buy at that price.
