    I'm no businessman, but why would they even bother making such a daft offer? They can't be that naive. I know there's haggling, but a £2m bid would just send out the message they aren't really bothered if they get him or not.

    Lazy journalism.

    Maybe it's actually going to be £2m + Hooper?

    Maybe. We'll need strikers and Hooper's as good as we'll get IMO but aren't we getting a bit light in defense? Robertson's expected to leave.

    I think a lot will depend where we are at Xmas, if we are going well then he may stay if there is a good chance of us getting back up.

    This^ I can't see anyone taking such a risk this summer. As with Jelavic, if a club decides to sign him, then they will feel confident he will be able to play, so should pay what we and they feel to be fair.

    You can't ask for a reduction because you think the player might be damaged goods. If you think his knees might be ****ed, you don't buy him.

    Not the first time we've been linked with him, was with SB at Sunderland ( I think).

    If we accept a deal at 9million Euros at current exchange rates we would get £6.38 million.....as it is an Italian club it is highly likely any fee would be in Euros

    If the Euro crashes as a result of for example a Greek exit.....exchange rates go from current levels to say 2 Euro to the £ ....we only get £4.5 million

    Any deal like that would have a fixed exchange rate to be agreed before the contract was signed, as is done for virtually all business contracts involving currency exchange.

    Josh McEachran may be worth a punt. Looked to have a big career ahead of him but has lost his way.

    He'll want a Premier League loan next season, he's apparently also on £30k a week.

    We'd get them to pay in sterling anyway, why the hell would we tell them to pay us in euros?

    Any deal we will set in our own currency and they will pay that. That is how virtually all transactions go.

    We don't go to Italy and buy things in sterling do we? Nor do they come here and pay in euro's.

    Now that would be a downward step.

    Agreed John. There are certain teams and you think fair enough if he went to a Boro or Ipswich. If not its just money.

    The problem with sending him out on loan is that when they have seen him play they proberley won't want him
