£35m plus!!!

That's absolutely mental. To be honest, I wouldn't blame Ashley for accepting that, that's crazy money

 

Disagree totally with you. We have no time to find a replacement and what we have isnt good enough for premiership football.
Andy is home grown talent a true geordie defo England centre forward for years to come f@@king Ashley is lining his casino pockets and we will struggle believe me.
Never new I could dislike a person so much the lad goes off to Scouse land.

 

it's not just about the players own value

its what it will cost the club

drop in gates, drop in merch sales
disrupt the dressing room
no time to get a replacement - his goals could mean the difference between survival and relegation (£50m in itself)
the team is built around him tactically.
and it shows we arent ambitious - we're willing to sell our best players.
makes it harder to attract other players to the club

all in all - even at silly money, this late in the window it's a false economy and a mistake.

 

apparently (according to SSN) £35m has been rejected.
