Mate, I'd take him at £4million, that's a no brainer. This is a wealthy Russian club who paid £9.5million though, they will not sell for that. Make no mistake he went there for the salary as well marra, and we have to consider that, he's worth 25-30k a week, and he won't take that.
He wants to return home though and it will be interesting to see what he is prepared to ofer and his club prepared to accept to clear the decks. One things for certain, Wigan are the other club interested and they wont be paying £8m for him OR paying anything like £40k or £50k per week either. I reckon this is a deal more in the £4m and £30k per week and for me, he is worth every penny of that at 26 years old.
As I said mate, if those were the terms it would be palatable. I'm not remotely convinced he'll make an impact, but that's low risk, we'd see most of that back of Celtic if he poops it.
