It's not so much about what he is worth, its about what he is worth to us. He is our number 1 right full back as well as the french number 1 right full back and he is on a very long contract. I think the main issue for us is that we shouldn't be selling a player we don't want to sell for his market value and that we should be insisting on an inflated price tag to reflect the fact that we neither want nor need to sell him. From our point of view it would be very hard to picture us attracting a player of his quality to our club for £12M.
As fans of the purchasing club I can see where you are coming from, but seeing as it is all over twitter that you're getting him for only £8M I can't be anything other than gutted that you're getting our best defender for less than other clubs are quoting for mediocre replacements. I cannot see any sense in this move from our point of view. Fair play to you lot though. You've got a hell of a player at a steal.
You can keep him, he's bloody useless.
