And if United offer 20m for Barkley the market is setting his price so your 35m valuation is irrelevant by your logic.
Personally I think your "one offer setting the market rate, even just at that one time the offer is made as it is the only offer" is still bollocks anyway. 1 club making an offer is not a market, it is one negotiation between two clubs. Maybe look up what market means.
keep the insults coming, sweet sweet tearsI'll be able to make a pot of tea at this rate.
Oh sweet Lord, the idiocy

If we said we were open to offers & the best offer on the table was £20m then his market value would be £20m, if we valued him at £35m & refused to trade, that has zero relevance to what the market concluded his value was.
All of which is irrelevant anyway, as despite your eagerness to see him leave, he's taken your captains advice & he's no intention of going anywhere.
