    Pretty sure he'll still be here until the summer. Don't think he's the type to push for the move and he'll know they'll be plenty of offers to come. The board would be mad to sell him now anyway. His contribution in this run in will be pivotal and the riches this title brings far outweighs cashing in on him.

    Attacking players are a premium now, no reason why the minimum shouldn’t be £35 mil and we take £30mil if it’s a club O’reilly really wants to go to

    Hoping for £25m minimum, but knowing us we could easily accept an offer of less.

    £20m would be a joke when you consider the price Tierney was years ago and he’s a full back. Or Bassey who had 2 good months.

    Id read/heard that Lawell didnt want to renew his contract and put him on better wages.

    If true, and whether that was the right or wrong decision, it undermines the will of the manager.

    what frustrates me is that we only really hear rumours and chinese whispers, as when the manager leaves they rarely go into depth about conflicts.

    It seems Lennon is now firmly back in the Lawell camp. Probably due to the fact Lawell took him back for his second stint.

    £35m with a hefty sell on fee I can dream but unfortunately our ckusterfuck of a board don’t operate like that.

    There is an element of risk in both decisions but the pros of keeping him until the summer far outweigh the cons.

    £25m + 15-20% sell on fee should be the minimum offer on the table. If he goes on to be a star at Atletico there will be PL clubs willing to pay triple price for an English FA trained player. We need a good slice of that cake.

    Even if its £70m we won't reinvest so.

    Realistically I'd be looking for us to receive £30m for a player like him. He's still worth more to us but that's just how football is now.

    That’s the thing for me. Does it even matter how much he goes for? We’ll be signing the same players in the summer regardless. Who cares?

    £20m is the minimum Celtic would get in the summer and you'd probably get a few more clubs bidding. It would have been stupid selling now. He gets some game time at the Euros and his value goes up.

    A guy who in 29 games has scored 10 and assisted 12 should be going for far more than that. I'll add that 4 of those 12 assists have come against the huns, Lazio, Atletico and Feyenoord. So it isn't just assists against nobodies like Ross County.
