    Spoke about his man management and how he didn't really speak to him/the players much. Along those lines..

    I read it same as above that he didn't particularly like that side of his approach..

    Still a realistic chance he stays for another season. Any way if any of the EPL shitheads make a bid, I would not take less than £40 million or they can get to *.

    We like to think of football as one big market, but in reality every league has its own market value. Look at the prices we got players from Japan for - players of the year and league leaders for buttons. We are Japan to EPL clubs. MOR might be a £50m player at Liverpool but he's at Celtic and he's a £20m player. It is what it is.

    Coupled with that, I do think we have a habit of undercharging even for own league's value. People will cite Tierney and Jota but they're exceptions rather than the rule. Think of GG, Juranovic, Christie, Edouard. We sold VVD for £13m, Southampton sold him for more than 5 times that 2 seasons later. We make money in the transfer market but we leave a lot of it on the table as well.

    We're not getting 40m mate.

    No chance.

    40m buys you a ready made player in that position with a few more years experience, from Spain, Portugal, Italy etc. ie, leagues that English snobs "respect".

    At a push we'll get 25 plus add ons.

    And we don't need that money. It's our policy yes. But we don't need to sell.

    I'd keep him for another year if any offer less than 30 came in.

    We need to be holding out for 30m. There’s no reason whatsoever for us to accept anything less. He’s worth it and he’s English homegrown and 23 years of age with no injury issues.

    Reckon we’ll ask for around £25M plus a big sell on % and bonuses for games played etc.

    We will ask for £25m.

    We'll get roughly £17.5m but with a 10-15% on any sell on profit.........his next club will then run his contract down and we'll get zip for the sell on.

    I suppose we should thank Riley McGree for turning us down to join Middlesbrough. He was Ange's 1st choice and had he not rejected us we'd never have signed Matty Bhoy.

    We shouldn’t be entertaining offers less than £30m

    He should have been player of the year in Scottish football.

    He has scored meaningful goals and assisted when it really mattered deep into the season.

    It makes giving the award out too early silly.

    Incredible tonight

    If he goes to England he'll be a homegrown player.

    40 million min, we always undervalue our players

    Hopefully he will stay another season. We should be looking to build on success and MoR is one who could build a legacy here. Of course he can get more money elsewhere but he is going to be well rewarded here. The club certainly doesn't need the money with CL cash and a gazillion in the bank.

    He should realise that nights like this are unlikely to happen at Atletico, Crystal Palace or a 1000 other clubs.
