    I'd rather we dug our feet in, ffs, Chelsea bought an 18 year old who played 2 games in his career for Villa and got £22.5m, seriously.

    And I couldn't give a * who would.fit him, I wouldn't even have responded to that bid and just not respond to anymore bids from them.

    Ffs, they must have the Paolo Lawelli or something in charge with that lowball *.

    Their record is €28m plus add ons. I think that's what we'd be looking at realistically, and that's relying on them selling someone big I think.

    Koopmeiners is linked with Juventus for about €50m.

    There’s also quite a lot of interest in Lookman too. Unlikely he will leave though.

    Look at these * dropping the price from £’s to €’s. Get to * with your tight * bid.

    With the amount of clubs interested we've got to be aiming for £30m+.

    O'Riley between Juve and Koopmeiners

    In reality, as far as we know, an offer has not yet been made but all that has been said and written does not belong to the world of fairy tales. Because Koopmeiners knows perfectly well that for him under the Mole they have prepared a 5-year contract of 4.5 million per season, much more than the approximately 2.5 that he now earns in Bergamo. But it is not just a question of money. It is also a question of incentives and the Goddess had told the Dutchman that if the right offer had arrived they would not have held him back. In fact they have started to look around for the possible and probable after Koopmeiners: hence the interest in Marco Brescianini, of Frosinone and Matt O'Riley of Celtic . And so we return to the kaleidoscope mentioned above

    Atlanta want between 50-60million for Koopmeiners and to replace him with O'Reilly for 20-25million. Now Juve looking at O'Reillynas alternative to Koopmeniers if we dont get 30million for OReilly i dont think we ever will for a player

    Think £25M with add ons will be likely.

    If it is 25million plus add ons the baord need to insist that it is 25.5million plus add ons otherwise 25million will always be our ceiling

    Honestly, if he is sold for a penny less than £25m there'd better be a riot.

    It's crazy that some fans would still tell you he isn't our best player. Look at the calibre of teams after him.

    Love the guy, I'll be gutted when he goes but wish him all the best.

    £30m still the minimum we should ask for and not a penny less.

    Yeah £30m is the number. Minimum.

    Especially with Juve now interested. We hold all the cards.

    £30m is totally realistic tbh. Bench warmers in England going for £20m on the regular so we have every right to price him as we see fit.
