I don’t get this assertion that they’ve had our pants down. I think £12 million odd is a good fee, and was clearly all anybody was willing to pay. He is a good player but he’s really not as good as some of our fans make out. Fans always think they should get more money for their own players, but reality is they are only worth what someone is willing to pay, not fan fantasy football figures.
That said, best of luck to the lad, he always gave his all, never hid when he was having an off game, and I hope he goes on to do well.
